in southern England. Construction on the great monument began 5,000 years ago;
the famous stones that still stand today were put in place about 4,000 years
ago.
The great age, massive scale and
mysterious purpose of Stonehenge пустоdraw over 800,000 visitors per
year, and several thousand gather on the summer пустоsolstice to watch the sunrise at this пустоancient and mystical site.
The stones are aligned almost
perfectly with the sunrise on the summer solstice, and it is almost
unquestioned that Stonehenge was built as a пустоspectacular place of пустоworship .
Although the пустоfaith of the Stonehenge builders predates any known religion,
the site has become a place of пустоpilgrimage
and worship for Neopagans who identify themselves with the Druids or other
forms of Celtic пустоpaganism . It
is also popular with New Age пустоdevotees ,
who report powerful energies at the site.
