Stonehenge, Bath | A prehistoric cultural site, an unexplained miracle

It takes about an hour to drive from Stonehenge to the town of Bath, passing through endless grasslands and farmland, typical English countryside scenery. The cut grass is rolled into round bales, which are quite charming from a distance. The stones that make up the stone circle are a type of bluestone from the Preseli Hills in southern Wales, 240 miles from the current location of the stone circle. Some evidence collected suggests that these huge stones were transported here during the Ice Age. But who built it? Why was it built? No scholar can explain it clearly. Stonehenge is a famous prehistoric cultural temple site in Europe. According to research, it was born in 3000 BC, was abandoned for a time, and was rebuilt in 1600 BC, finally forming its current appearance. There are about thirty-eight stones of various sizes left now. Due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, many strange-shaped holes have formed on the surface of the stones. Stonehenge is arranged in a concentric circle, the stones are roughly rectangular, but they stand upright on the ground, more than thirteen feet high. On top of the adjacent stones, there is another stone lying on top, either spanning two or four, arranged in a strange pattern.
