Topic > Stonehenge - 913

It is 3100 BC and James was digging gigantic holes that would have been about 33 meters in diameter (“Allman 36”). He was digging these holes on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire in the south of England. James and the other workers tried to make a living by digging these huge holes day after day. James and the other workers were digging these holes and then building the mysterious Stonehenge. These stone blocks weighed up to 50 tons and digging the holes required many hours of work (“About”). It was also very hard work and required a lot of dedication if they wanted to build the perfect Stonehenge. For James he only worked on the excavations for 35 years. The excavations took only a couple of thousand years, but overall it took more than 30 million hours of work to complete Stonehenge (“Information”). It took many more people than James to complete Stonehenge. Stonehenge was built in three phases (“Information”). These three construction phases were the most important steps in the construction of Stonehenge. Once the three phases are complete, there should be a wonderful Stonehenge. This extraordinary landmark will subsequently be visited and visited by millions of people from all over the world. It is the year 3000 BC and the first phase has begun. Although people began the first phase a couple of centuries ago, they did not complete it. The first phase consisted mainly of trying to dig holes to put the pillars in place in the second and third phases of Stonehenge. The reason the first phase wasn't completed a couple of centuries ago was because many people didn't know what they were doing. People also didn't know what would happen if they made a mistake. So here we are in 3000 BC and the first phase has...... half of the paper...... capable of predicting eclipses (“Stonehenge”). Furthermore, they would not be able to predict the formation of stars, the movements of the moon and the sun (“Stonehenge”). The last phase took about 500 years to complete. Stonehenge was an extraordinary landmark that represented a masterpiece for thousands of workers and generations. When Stonehenge was completed, the man responsible was called Richard. Richard said: "This beautiful landmark will be seen by people all over the world and will be one of the greatest creations that human beings have ever created." Richard also said, “Future generations should take great care of this amazing creation.” It was the year 1922 when the British government began to restore Stonehenge ("Hamlin"). This restoration would benefit Stonehenge because most of the rocks were eroding. The eroded, cracked and damaged rocks were subsequently carried away (“Hamlin”).
