Wonder of stonehenge.

Everyone has heard Of stonehenge'
a prehistoric monument in England
which is almost as much of puzzle
as the sphinx in Egypt or the mounds
erected by the mound builders IN Amer
lea. stonehenge is about ten miles
north OF Salisbury The name comes
from two Saxon words meaning hang
ing stones"
The earlier Celtic name was Cor
Gawr, or giants temple. There are in
many localities IN the northwest OF
Europe prehistoric remains 10 the form
of huge stone monuments or 'tumuii''
or 'ebarrowg'-that is, bowl shaped
mounds or hills of earth. In the neigh
borhood Of stonehenge there are hun
dreds OF these mounds. Coins etc,
found in them seem to date them back
about three centuries before Christ
It must have taken an immense
auunt of work TO make them. and
there must have been some profound
and serious purpose behind them
