Stonehenge is Britain's national temple. Attracting almost one million visitors a year, the monument has become the country's most visited tourist attraction, now a World Heritage site. Yet despite his popularity, this prehistoric monument remains shrouded in mystery and still provokes many questions and both laymen and specialist alike - who built it, when, and for what purposes? Why were all those huge stones moved such unfeasibly long distances and then placed so precisely? These questions remained largely unanswered until fairly recently, and this book charts the emergence of Stonehenge into the collective modern psyche, from naïve medieval speculations through modern scientific methodology and New Age revelations. --- excerpt from book's Introduction
