The three theories

1. Astronomical Observatory:

One of the beliefs that people have is that Stonehenge was use for navigation in the sky called “Astronomical Observation” Astronomical basis to the Stonehenge, was first said by Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer, an English scientist and astronomer. However, persuasive evidence of astronomical association for the Stonehenge was given about half a century later by an American astronomer, Gerald Hawkins. He found 165 points on the monument that were linked with the solstices, equinoxes and the solar and lunar eclipse. Supporting his theory is the fact that, at the dawn of the summer solstice, the sun, the center of the Stonehenge ring and the two stones - the Slaughter and the Heel Stones are all in a line.

2. The Alien Hand

Geologists believe that the blue stones of the Stonehenge originated in the Preseli Hills of Wales about 137 miles away from the site of the Stonehenge. Given the huge size of the stones, moving them over 100 miles would be a task for Hercules. Many doubt if people living 5,000 years ago either had the technology or if they were able to have the brute muscle power required to transport the stones from the Welsh mountain range to Salisbury Valley, in England. This led to the origin of the theory, role of the aliens, in raising the Stonehenge.

3. A burial ground

Discovery of a large number of cremated remains in the Aubrey holes have led the present day archaeologists to believe that the Stonehenge was a ceremonial burial site, right since its earliest days. Some have dubbed it as the domain of the dead, while some have gone a step further to suggest that only the elite were buried at Stonehenge. We might keep proposing new theories and refute the existing ones till some conclusive evidence about the Stonehenge is found. However, till then, the huge stones stand quietly shrouding within its massive structure, answers the questions for which man has been trying hard to unearth for centuries.

Conclusion:

The reason I chose these 3 theories is because I thought they were out of the ordinary. I also think that they are believable. Some people may think I am crazy, but I am just in 7th grade, and I believe that there is a different life form some ware out in the universe that might have made Stonehenge and many other things that have happened over history.
