EDITORS COMMENTS
This image of Stonehenge, the most famous prehistoric monument in England, was captured by photographer Ethel Davies in 2012. Located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, near Amesbury, Stonehenge is believed to have been built between 3000 and 2000 BC. This remarkable structure, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has long been a source of fascination and mystery for historians, archaeologists, and visitors alike. The monument, composed of massive stones arranged in a circular formation, is a testament to the engineering and architectural prowess of Neolithic people. The exact purpose of Stonehenge remains a subject of ongoing debate, with theories suggesting it may have served as a temple, astronomical observatory, or a burial ground. The 21st century image of Stonehenge, taken by Ethel Davies, stands in stark contrast to the ancient past it represents. The vibrant colors and crisp details bring the monument to life, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur and intricacy in a way that was not possible for those who lived during the Neolithic era. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stonehenge is a symbol of the rich history and cultural heritage of England. Its enduring allure continues to draw visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at this prehistoric wonder and ponder the mysteries of the past.
