    Stone circles were built thousands of years ago in the prehistoric era, but archaeologists are uncertain of their purpose. Theories suggest they were erected by giants or using antigravity techniques. Stone circles were constructed globally and Stonehenge remains one of the most mysterious. Stonehenge is composed of earthworks and standing stones located in England. It precisely aligns with solar and lunar movements, demonstrating sophisticated astronomical knowledge among its Neolithic builders.

    Stone Circles:

    Stone circles have been built thousands of years B.C in the prehistoric
    era. Archeologists did not find a certain reason why ancients built them and
    nobody knows how it was erected. Some theories proposed that giants
    placed the stones into position and erected them while other theories
    proposed that the antigravity techniques where used to place these huge
    and massive stones.

    Stone circles where built in many places all over the world and the
    Stonehenge still the mystery of all stone circles. Here is a table showing
    some stone circles around the world and when they were erected:

    Egyptian Nabta’s stone circle:

    The ancient people of Nabta built a stone circle which is a 4 meters


    circle of huge slabs of stone with four pairs of taller stones aligned opposite
    each other. Two pair provided a window on the solstice sunrise while the
    other two were aligned on the north and south axis.

    The Stonehenge:

    Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county


    of Wiltshire, about 3.2 kilometres west of Amesbury and 13 kilometres
    north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge
    is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing
    stones. It is at the centre of the most dense complex of Neolithic and
    Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial
    mounds.

    Stonehenge lies on the exact latitude at which the Midsummer
    Sunrise and Sunsets are at 90 degrees of the Moons Northerly setting and
    Southerly rising. This particular phenomenon is only possible within a band
    of less than one degree, of which Stonehenge lies in the middle-third. The
    only latitude where the four station stones which determine lunar and solar
    alignments can form an exact rectangle within the limits of the Aubrey
    circle is at the latitude of Stonehenge. Also the Station-stone-rectangle has
    a perimeter the same length as one side of the great pyramid.

    There are only latitudes in the world it which, the full moon passes
    directly overhead on its maximum Zeniths, these are at Stonehenge and
    Almendres in Portugal (The oldest circle in Western-Europe).

    Sir Norman Lockyer, the Astronomer Royal, noticed that Stonehenge,


    Grovely Castle and Old Sarum formed a near perfect equilateral triangle,
    with each side 6 miles in length. The Stonehenge-Old Sarum alignment
    continues south past Salisbury cathedral, Clearbury ring and Frankenbury.
    The Stonehenge-Grovely castle alignment extends to the North-East
    beyond St Peters mound, Inkpen beacon, and the Neolithic Winterbourne
    camp. To the South-West the line continues past Grovely Castle, Castle
    ditches and the Cerne-Abbas giant to Puncknowle beacon on the South
    coast.
