Stonehenge, England

The true purpose of Stonehenge remains a mystery to this day, but there are a few theories. One theory suggests that the original purpose of Stonehenge was a burial site of huge significance. Another theory is that it was a site of healing. The placement of the huge stones has a significant relationship with astronomical alignments of the moon and sun including the solstices, equinoxes, and lunar and solar eclipses.
