Prehistoric settlements have appeared in many parts of the world. One of the most significant examples is the old civilization of Egypt; however, I want to point out my attention to Western Europe and more specifically to Great Britain. Stonehenge in Salisbury Plain, England dating back ca. 2900-1400 BCE. is probably the most important monument from prehistoric times. In these early forms of civilization, terms like organization of work, organization of people, teamwork and leadership were still in the early ages of development. Stonehenge required very high organizational skills.
But what was the reason for building Stonehenge? Was that a reason related to ancient rulers showing extra power over a competing civilization? Was that ruler's desire for showing power over others? Was it really built by giants, various magicians, ET, etc? The scientific truth reveals that Stonehenge was actually an observatory for determining the solstices. Still the question that hunts me down is why did the people of the British Isles need the calendar? I am looking for an answer to this question. Stonehenge still remains a mystery.
