[England] Ancient Mystery! Uncovering the Mysteries of Stonehenge 🪨✨

Stonehenge, located in Wiltshire, England, is one of the most famous ancient ruins in the world. It is said to have been built about 5,000 years ago, and its purpose and construction method are still shrouded in mystery. When you visit Stonehenge, you will be overwhelmed by the huge stone circle that suddenly appears in the vast grassland. The upright stones are up to 7 meters high and weigh about 25 tons, and it is still unknown how these huge stones were transported and assembled. Archaeologists have various theories, such as whether Stonehenge was a calendar for observing the movement of the sun and celestial bodies, or whether it was a sacred place where religious rituals were held. Especially during the summer solstice, the sun is known to rise exactly at the center of the ruins, and many people visit to witness this moment 📸🌄 Currently, a visitor center has been established around Stonehenge, where you can learn more about ancient construction techniques and excavated artifacts 🏛️📜 Although you cannot touch the ruins themselves, you can observe them from various angles through the walkway, and you can fully feel their power and mystery 🚶♂️💫 Stonehenge still has many mysteries 🌀✨ What were the ancient people thinking, and for what purpose did they line up these megaliths...? If you visit while thinking about the mystery, you will feel a deeper charm 🌍💙 #England #tripOverseas travel
