Legend about Stonehenge
http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/gem-projects/hm/0102-1-stonehenge/legends.htm
THE SUN AND HER FOLLOWERS
In the past, people worshipped the sun and were able to communicate with it.
One day, a group of followers wanted to build a temple to worship the sun. The sun directed them to a small forest by the river where they could find wood. By the next day, they managed to build a woodhenge. The sun was pleased.
After some time, the sun got stronger. She found that the woodhenge was not good enough and instructed them to find stones up north, to build a henge made of stone.
Hence, the devotees travelled to search for the sacred stones. After having found the stones, they destroyed the woodhenge and constructed the Stonehenge.
The sun loved their love for her. However, one day the sun discovered a long avenue of stones racing to the river. Being puzzled, the sun questioned the stones, “Where are thou heading to?” ( “Where are you heading to?”)
The stones then replied that they hoped that they could help spread the sun’s good doings to other parts of the world via water route. The Stonehenge was also built for this purpose such that descendents could know the sun’s good deeds.

Marc:In this programme we are going to talk about the construction of Stonehenge,an important monument.
Stonhenge was built five thousand years ago in the period of prehistory known as the neolithic or New Stonehenge.Medieval writers use the magic as an exploration of how it was created.
People thought that the druids had built it.
There are many suppositions about who built Stonehenge, but nobody knows the true . Stonehenge will always keep its secret and its magic.
