英国巨石阵由何而来?

Begun as a simple earthwork enclosure , Stonehenge was built in several stages, with the unique lintelled stone circle being erected in Wiltshire in the late Neolithic period around 2500 BC. It remained important into the early Bronze Age, when many burial mounds were built nearby. Today Stonehenge, together with Avebury and other associated sites, forms the heart of a World Heritage Site with a unique and dense concentration of prehistoric monuments . Stonehenge is one of the most impressive prehistoric megalithic monuments in the world on account of the sheer size of its megaliths, the sophistication of its concentric plan and architectural design, the shaping of the stones, uniquely using both Wiltshire Sarsen sandstone and Pembroke Bluestone, and the precision with which it was built.
巨石阵的修建从一个简单的圆形土堤开始,分为几个阶段完成,约公元前2500年新石器时代末期一架独特的过梁石圈开始竖立于威尔特郡。鉴于其附近建有许多古坟,巨石阵对探索青铜时代依然有着重要的意义。如今巨石阵带着独特且密集的史前遗迹的身份与埃夫伯里巨石圈以及周边的相关遗址构成了世界遗产地的中心。它凭借其巨石的庞大规模、同心轴平面和结构设计的复杂性、石群的形状,以及罕见的石材——威尔特郡砂岩和彭布洛克青石,加之其建造的精密程度成为世界上最令人印象深刻的史前遗迹之一。
