Stonehenge or Stan Hencg
My fascination for the miniature has now led me to spend the week constructing various models of structures and machines. The first being a scale version of Stonehenge. The piece is on a panel 8 inches by 8 inches. and is aprox 1.5 inches at its tallest. While I find the concept of postitioned rocks intgiguging, it is to me a more primitive example of a structure, when compared with other impressive works at or around 3000 to 2000 BC (See Mesepotamia or the Pyramids of Giza for a comparisson) Again i give you a wiki summation.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) west of Amesbury and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones and sits at the centre of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.[1] Archaeologists had believed that the iconic stone monument was erected around 2500 BC, as described in the chronology below. However one recent theory has suggested that the first stones were not erected until 2400-2200 BC,[2] whilst another suggests that bluestones may have been erected at the site as early as 3000 BC
