Stonehenge and Other Mysterious Places
What is Stonehenge
Stonehenge is an unusual place that looks like a circle of rocks. Stonehenge is in Wiltshire, England. Stonehenge is a monument for the dead. No one knows who put the stones there. One Theory is that Merlin, the god of Arthurian magically put the stones there. Some think it is the ruins of a temple.
When Stonehenge Began
Stonehenge began 5,000 years ago. The first circle was built in 3,000 B.C, made of timber. That is 3,000 years before Christ was born.
Why Stonehenge is so special
Stonehenge is so special because it is a monument for the dead and it is so unusual because there are massive stones about 30 feet tall. Stonehenge is a prehistoric circle of rocks. Some people might think, “its just a circle of rocks how can it be so special”, well there’s a lot of reasons why it is so special. It has even been given the nickname “slaughter stone”. I think it is named slaughter stone because there has been many sacrifices.
Other Mysterious Places
Now that i have told you a little about Stonehenge. I’m gonna tell you about some other mysterious places. First, the Bermuda Triangle is a deep triangle in the water, many ships have disappeared there. It covers all of the Caribbean islands. Its mysterious because many ships have disappeared without a trace.
Nazca lines was carved about 2,000 years ago, the lines form huge pictures, its located in Peru. The lines are about 1,200 feet long. They are lines that make animals and plants. They are carved on a a desert floor.
Yonaguni Monument are odd step stones that were discovered in 1986 in an ocean near Japan. It is underwater.
Last but not least, Chichen Itza, deep within the Mexican jungles is a mysterious temple or pyramid. it was built in 600 B.C.

Fascinating read on a topic I’ve heard but not known too much about. The mystery of Stonehenge is akin to the mysterious “leaking” of cookies from the cupboard. No one really knows how they keep disappearing or where they go. Spooky.
