United Kingdom Stonehenge stones really come from? _ Li Heng Chang

United Kingdom Stonehenge stones is how ? to United Kingdom, the United Kingdom will know, there are two ancient, mysterious, beautiful landscape is also a very strong appeal. This is the "Loch" (Loch Ness) and the "Stonehenge" (Stonehenge), which was chosen as world natural heritage, which was recognized as world cultural heritage, are world class attractions. They all according to the United Kingdom, South Loch in the United Kingdom in the northern region, with its mysterious "Monster" famous all over the world; another mysterious place is located in the United Kingdom in the southwest of Stonehenge, which is in the range of several hundred square kilometres radius is almost set of green field stood from blocks to ten tons of huge stones at the completion of the post array, here and in the vicinity is neither a stony ground, also not see any Rocky Mountains, the stones come from? if not nature's natural scenery, it is uncanny from extraterrestrial? the Stonehenge has most people know, even the various newspapers and magazines and other media about the scarcity of information is very often a few statements, many United Kingdom local people do not know the source, you can tell, there is, this has greatly increased its mystery. I beheld the mystery of temptation awaited, but because it is too far away and did not take place, I recently attended the University of Sussex, academic conference finally met my three years of desire, climbed from reading to Stonehenge's car. In the early summer of the United Kingdom is the most beautiful, because almost no industrial pollution, as long as what is not, is the bright sky, blue sky, dotted with clouds is one very beautiful pictures. Our car reading urban, along the sides are green, the centuries old trees stand tall, formed around tracts of forest or shade, on a flat plain covered the whole year not blight of the Greensward grass or other herbage plants, shrubs and green everywhere various unknown colorful wildflowers; because of the strict protection of wild animals, from time to time to see the wide variety of wild animals such as deer, hares, squirrels in the field and tree run Frolic, a fabric weaving beautiful picture of nature. Stonehenge's English name of the first half of the Stonehenge Stone means "stone", after half the henge in modern English Dictionary has not find, according to research from old English, meaning "high hanging", which in ancient times there is an image name "hanging in the sky stone". It is located in the United Kingdom in Southwest Wiltshire (Wiltshire), distance from the nearest city is Sol Philippine Marbury (Salisbury). Auto racing on Salisbury Plain, whole areas of grassland on both sides of the road, many white as Black's United Kingdom fat sheep in the leisurely eating grass, grass waves wave wave and very spectacular. The car ran down the highways, suddenly came into view, is that in the Plains far stands of magnificent composition by jushi array-Stonehenge ! friends said, previously heard when there is no barbed wire fences, not to buy any ticket, visitors can go directly to Stonehenge, standing in the megalithic stones and next to the touch. Later, because there is no conscious tourists do not cherish cultural relics, will take away with them in stone, but more importantly the Administration was aware of the valuable prehistoric miracle to be strictly protected and now has around Stonehenge with large diameter of the wire a large plain enclosed, built a formal entrance, and built on Stonehenge's showroom and service centre and other facilities. Purchase tickets to enter the gallery as well, with information, pictures, model specific presentation Stonehenge's overall situation, so that visitors to Stonehenge with preliminary knowledge. Staff are entry for each visit of tourists each payment a presentation Stonehenge mini audio player, there are a number of languages to choose from, according to the requirements of the language to the visitors, on its own operations, but lacks the Chinese language is a pity. Across the channel, you can enter the Stonehenge Tour of the site. This is a little fluctuation, very broad, lush green lawn, lawn Centre stands by many huge stones surrounded, but has a circular stone columns array and fragmentary. Outer circumference diameter of 30 metres, in the periphery of circular columns array again with a rope around a circle along the rope perimeter laying out approximately 2 meters of flat road surface for the visitors when walking. This visit path from Stonehenge recently about 1 meter, the most distant you dozens of meters, visitors must not cross the rope into the circle, which means that visitors cannot contact one touch of Stonehenge in Boulder, in order to satisfy the curiosity of the visitors, Manager purposely site import Department set up a small waist high only stones caress and photographs for tourists. There is no doubt that the protection of heritage is very friendly and understandable. I walk along the visit channel stone pillar, while listening to headphones, while enjoying the has 5000 years of history of human heritage. Stonehenge by 30 block standing stands, not rules, plane slightly rough rectangular piece of stone and covered in the above too tall stones to form a continuous circle-shaped stone pillar of the outer ring, the stone and too tall cylindrical stone between concave and convex hemispherical tenon joints of mutual, too tall stone and too tall stone between class-tenon joints at a one of the outer circle, since the ones affected by wind, Sun and rain, temperature change of the seasons and natural factors, more long-term to the sabotage of the factors that make the outer circle shaped array has been seriously damaged and only a small part of the remnant. Cylindrical stone original total 30 blocks, each weighing about 25 tons, the covering of a tall stone original also has 30 blocks, each weighing about 25 tons. In the outer circumference of 5 groups within a horseshoe of three stone arches, each group has a column on the stand, weight down 45 tons, in its place on top of a big too tall stone connect fixed, connection method is to use the bump ball Tenon estuary (cylindrical, spherical shaped convex too tall stone as concave spherical). Cylindrical stone and a tree of materials is made of sandstone (Sarsen), the mining and processing production was Stonehenge 30 kilometres north of malambo County (MarlboroughDown)。 At Stonehenge, circumference there is a lot smaller stones because of its blue and called blue, is collected from 385 kilometers southwest of the Preseli Hills in Wales. The value is a has been processed, talipes blue as materials produced, with a 5 m long, is called "the stone altar stone", but the stone has now been vertically in the ground below without being seen by our eyes. Originally in the outer circle circles there is also a smaller block by 60 small blue closely surrounded, full circle, connected to the blue is the circumference to five capsules three stone arches around the Central, but unfortunately the blue circle of destruction, only two. As for the ancient people why you want to go to far outside Wales 385 km of costly stones, logging, and not at the same distance 30 km malambo County quarrying and processing this difficult to understand its root. If people are just as natural scenery to Stonehenge, see just a bunch of huge rocks gathered in broad fields, possible individual will think no aesthetic sense at all, or even feel a little monotonous. But when you are in period carefully taste and think about, from Stonehenge in thousands of years ago the conception, design and quarrying, processing, transportation, installation and construction through scientific truth reminds us a lot. Selection of stones to dozens and even up to 400 kilometers of local mining, processing, shipped back. So the first step is to build a road for transport, even if the technology developed by modern society, so the number, the weight of transported back to the huge stones is also a lot of effort, not to mention the thousands of years ago in ancient times. People have no means of transport, can only be used for round wood pad stones following step by step to rely on the presumption of its mobile workforce to convey, workload, time consuming long you can imagine. Stones transported back to be erected, fixed to the ground, then it is placed on a tall stone, in the absence of any lifting equipment of ancient, ancient people can only use round wood layers to Boulder High, then pad round timber as a lever, and many common hard to pry up, adjustment to complete, the difficulty of large and you can imagine. It can be said from mining, lifting, transportation and installation of process every move a cm are to a considerable amount of manpower, time, and the selection of a large number of round timber (this was the only most advanced tools, not to mention the number of road transport, the workload of the tree), the construction of the Stonehenge with many people, how many generations of many generations of tireless efforts and pass it on, so it's no wonder that time consuming several Millennium meter can be built. When we walked in as superlative craftsmanship of jushi SWOP horses while crossing, imagine an ancient people handed a generation to pay a lot of hard work and sweat, thought here ancient people labor and wisdom, we cannot but respectful. Stonehenge is not only the United Kingdom's most important prehistoric monuments, according to the information about it in the world is unique, there is no comparable shizhen can, this cannot but draw attention on curious and fear it. The most shocking and cannot be explained that, according to scientists on field research that Stonehenge was built in the late Neolithic era, about 2800 years b.c., when first built Stonehenge in embryonic form — — rounded Groove, Ridge, huge heel stone and "Aubrey hang group". 2000 BC is Stonehenge construction of the second stage, the whole Stonehenge basic formation. Stonehenge's third stage built in the year 1500. b.c. From today's perspective, the Stonehenge architectural scale and difficulty for the earlier project is simply incredible. More surprising is that it's built than the pyramids of Egypt's oldest earlier 700 years! however, who built this group of mysterious building, it is still there: some people think that is the construction of the early inhabitants of Celtic tombs, some people think that is the ancient Romans Jagger Silas built the temple, some people think that is built for Denmark who held a ceremony, it was considered to be the ancient times of astronomical instruments, it was considered to be an alien landing spacecraft use of course, some people think that is the original human hunting tool, there are people you think are the ancient civilization of the computer, more scholars simply believed that the stone is a culture, an ancient stones of the admiration and respect. The ancients admire huge like the mighty, the yearning for Boulder-like solid and sturdy, the ancient ideal of perfection is the barrier wall. Production technology of ancient people that struggle hard-base up so a stone city trying to do?, on mystery of Stonehenge, caused a controversy over a rather "archaeological addiction" astronomers Hawkins's attention. Results Hawkins soon discovered an interesting fact: Stonehenge is a circle in the middle of the stone pillars, stone perimeter and many sizes, including some stone interlocking of straight lines, respectively, in the summer, winter or other solar terms, pointing to the Sun and moon rise or fall. In addition, the Sun or the moon through the stone pillar of a fan fan "crosscut" or "Windows" stone, also marks a point on the calendar. Hawkins solved a puzzle: Stonehenge was originally the ancients used to determine solar astronomical calendar. 50 years or so, BC in ancient Greece historian TIO more Los wrote a book on world history, mentioned England island "is a magnificent Sun Temple", said "the Moon God to every 19 years the island States once." Annihilation in search of the records, it has attracted the attention of Hawkins. A discerning eye will know, the Sun Temple refers to Stonehenge, no doubt. Hawkins, Stonehenge there might be more important in the mystery of the Moon God? "every 19 years to a time", refers to the local observability into Eclipse cycle? and Hawkins et al. has developed a calculation program, then the computer started up. Calculated data show: Stonehenge not only to simulate method determines the season pass for more, and can be used to calculate the Eclipse and Eclipse. For example, the calculation of Lunar Eclipse cycle, even really with 19 years match! leave Stonehenge, I look into it that face thousands of years of natural wind and rain and man-made catastrophe booing and uneven in its desultory weathering marks are sufficient to prove that our understanding is too facile, after all, we are on the fence outside the readability of it, it isSome of the inherent dignity enough to let each of us can not be tolerated and play-even if it is a little idea! tens of thousands of people to it day and night to witness sunrise sunset to it to symbolize the nature of faith and worship, and is famous for its stone nature firm of rashness, till people are different, but it still it! Yes, is there anything better than to eternal willpower to maintain and the pursuit of our mission and vision is more worthy of people respect?
