Stonehengea man-made wonder of the world

史前巨石柱• 位于英国南部索尔兹伯里平原上有一组充

满神秘色彩的巨大石群，这就是著名的英国史前巨石柱。现经证实这些巨石来自英国威尔士地区，距离索尔兹伯里平原大约240 英里。目前，科学界对史前巨石柱充满了诸多疑问，古人类究竟通过什么方法将如此庞大的巨石搬运数百英里之外，莫非这些巨石又是外星人的杰作？！

Stonehenge is an ancient circle of stones in the south of England. It was built about 5,000years ago. There are about 80 stones, and each is about five metres tall. The builders brought them from hills in the west of the country over 200 kilometres away. It was probably a place to bury dead people, or somewhere to study the stars and the sky at night. Some of the stones are missing, but it’s still one of the most wonderful sights of the world. It is a wonder also because of this question:

How did people move these huge pieces of stone from so far? No one knows the answer.

1. When was it built?

2. How many stones?

3. How tall is each stone?

4. Where did the builder bring the stones from?

5. What was it probably?
