The construction of Stonehenge, the iconic prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, remains a subject of debate and speculation. Archaeological evidence suggests that the site was used for ceremonial purposes as early as 3000 BC, with the first phase of construction starting around 2500 BC. The most distinctive feature of Stonehenge, the large sarsen stones, was erected between 2400 and 2200 BC, likely by local Neolithic communities. The precise methods used to transport and erect these massive stones are still a topic of research, with theories ranging from the use of sledges and rollers to more advanced techniques involving ramps and levers. The later addition of the smaller bluestones, transported from the Preseli Hills in Wales, further adds to the mystery surrounding the construction of Stonehenge, as the reason for their inclusion and the methods used to transport them remain uncertain.
