The image showcases the meticulous reconstruction drawing by Peter DUNN from the English Heritage Graphics Team, depicting the awe-inspiring moment when a massive sarsen stone is raised into an upright position at Stonehenge. As one gazes upon this remarkable scene, it becomes evident that this ancient Neolithic site holds secrets yet to be fully unraveled. The stone circle itself stands as a testament to the resourcefulness and determination of our ancestors during the Stone Age. This graphic illustration offers us a glimpse into their construction methods and techniques, shedding light on how these colossal stones were manipulated with precision. The sheer scale of this endeavor is humbling; it reminds us of humanity's unwavering desire to leave its mark on history.
