EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this close-up view of Stonehenge, the ancient and enigmatic monument located in Wiltshire, England. Dating back to the late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, Stonehenge continues to be a source of wonder and fascination for people around the world. This particular image, captured in the 1920s, offers a unique perspective of the monument, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of its massive stones up close. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting photographs during that era, adds to the nostalgic feel of the image. Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is believed to have been constructed as a burial ground, a religious site, or both. Its precise alignment with the solstices and equinoxes suggests that it was also used for astronomical purposes. The monument consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet high and weighing around 25 tons. The largest stone, the Heel Stone, stands outside the circle to the north. Despite numerous theories and studies, the exact purpose and method of construction of Stonehenge remain a mystery. Its enduring allure continues to draw visitors from all corners of the globe, making it one of the most famous landmarks in the world.
