Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. Over one thousand years before the creation of Stonehenge , local herders built a stone circle and other structures on the shoreline of a lake that has long since dried up. Over 6000 years ago, stone slabs three meters high were dragged over a kilometer to create the site. Shown above is one of the stones that remains. Little is known about the ultimate purpose of Nabta and the nature of the people who built it.
