Stonehenge is a megalithic structure on the plain in southern England. The gigantic stones overwhelm visitors. When and how the site was constructed is gradually unraveled. However, why it was constructed remains a mystery. There are various theories about what Stonehenge was made for: a Celtic chapel, an astronomical observatory, and a King's tomb.
