It was a pagan place of ritual and sacrifice. It represented the sun and moon and with the capstones was "closed" from outside.\n\nThe rocks were actually quarried in wales and dragged overland to the site and then erected.. A neat bit of engineering..\n\nLike the Pyramids, slave labour was used.... \n\nIt was the "centre" of a place of power, close to the heavens and many many burial BARROWS are located in the vicinity.\n\nFor me.. it was a great place to take girlfriends to and shag them..\n\nSadly today it's roped off and you can't get close.

If there was sand under the Egyptian pyramids they would have fallen down by now.  Some that were built on poor foundations already have fallen down.  The Great Pyramids near Cairo were built on a rocky plateau and that is why they are still in good condition.  They have burial chambers under them cut into the rock but the chamber under the biggest was not used.  \n\nBy the time these big pyramids were built the ancient Egyptians had a few hundred years experience in building them so they knew just exactly what they were doing.  You can see some of their earlier efforts in this site.\n\nhttp://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/dsteppyramid1.htm\n\nThe only real mystery attached to the Egyptian pyramids is why they put so much resources into them. \n\nThe answer is "rock".

Compare it to other pagan religious sites, or other monolith collections (Easter Island Statues).  It's also keyed in to the Spring Equinox, right?  What other structures around the world are keyed in, and from what period do they date?  Learning about the other sites, especially the ones with recorded purposes, will give you a better idea of what Stonehenge may have been used for.\n\nAnd always remember to double space, have wide margins, and use a large font...

I've heard all this too.  I really wish he had shared with someone how he did it.\nI've also read theories about magical dwarves which sung the stones into place at megalithic sites around the world. I have to wonder if they either really sang with their voices or if they had some kind of device which made noise and was a type of levitation device. I am not saying these dwarves were aliens (other have said this) but it is something to think about.\nYou've probably already seen the links below (especially since you quoted word-for-word including the strange punctuation from one of them--please GIVE CREDIT when you do this; it's STEALING) but others might be interested.

... Something about triangles, right?\n\nThey had an empire, I think...  or was it just a kingdom?  Or do they elect a president... Mubarak?  Does that sound familiar?  Were they muslims or pagans???  There was this guy Tut and he had a mummy...  Steve Martin says he was born in Arizona but he got a home in Babylonia and was a boy king and had more money than Midas...  I'm not sure if all of that is correct.  Midas had a lot of money.  There's also something... maybe... about a huge dam and reservior on the Nile... or up the Nile... something like that.  Egypt fought Israel after the God of Israel dumped a bunch of plagues on them, but that was after Egypt apparently enslaved a bunch of jews to build some fancy cemetaries.  Maybe the jews are still pissed off about that.  There was Cleopatra, who was aparently the first Ms. Universe and apparently she dug rich Italian guys.  Then there are those hieroglyphics... it would be more fun to make pictures of words than write phonetically, but I guess it makes it easier to learn the language if it's phonetic.  SO they made the Rosetta stone so they could talk to other people.  REM says "Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."  MAybe they hired an exterminator because that was past-tense...  They had some big library on the coast...  but it wasn't a public library?  But then somebody screwed it all up.  They failed to correct Alexander's delusion that he was a god.  I guess you'll do anything to get creepy thugs like that off your back though and he DID march way off to India next, so I guess it worked for a while.\n\nBasically, they did a bunch of stuff.  Built a few wonders of the world.  You know, not much.

Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its radius.  Of course, this ratio exists whether we're aware of it or not, whether we think it's important or not.  Many ancient cultures had some sort of approximation to pi.  I don't know if the culture that built Stonehenge was one.  But I do know that there is a tendency to "see" a lot of things in an important monument like Stonehenge that may or may not have been intended by its makers.

Well, I would argue that is was never lost. It has been there a long time and known by inhabitants of the British Isles for thousands of years. There are many arguments as to who constructed it though especially since the stone used does not come from that area of the UK.\n\nThe website below should be able to help you further

Probably silicone and iron.   It's a friggin big rock.   Hollow it out a bit; near the center the gravity is probably near earths gravity.

One of the more current theories suggest that Stonehenge is a death monument. There is a nearly identical monument called Woodhenge (since it it made of mostly wood) up the river from Stonehenge, and it has been suggested that Woodhenge is the "life monument" on the other end of the English equivalent of the River Styx. As to sending oneself back to ancient Rome... stop playing so many role playing games!
