Stonehenge…the mere mention of its
name brings thoughts of mysticism and wonder…why was it built and who built
it?...how were these large stones that stand 13 feet tall and weigh about 25
tons each placed on the ground?...where did the stones come from and how did
they get there?...did the circular shape signify anything
specific?...archeologists believe the formation to be about 5000 years old or
even older…it may have been used at one time as a burial ground as thousands of
bone fragments have been found there…the civilization that put it there left no
written records as to what it was for…possibly, it was used as some kind of
astrological marker, a marker of the solstice for example…some think that it
was thought of as a place of healing…obviously, there are many more questions
than answers…in fact there are few answers if any…most ‘answers’ are merely
speculation…these theories range from the scientific to the supernatural…I had
a tree that went down a few years ago…after it was sawed up, I made my own
personal Stonehenge in my back yard...actually I suppose you’d call it
Woodhenge…eventually, I used the wood for my fireplace and fire pit…after this
summer’s hurricane, I had plenty of large pieces of wood, so I created another
one.
