Magic Circels

MAGIČNI KRUGOVI

Osam milja sjeverno od Salsburga je veliki krug kamenja,koji se zove Stonhendž.Stonhendž je najstariji praistorijski spomenik u Britaniji.Niko ne zna zasto je sagradjen i zasto je koristio.Da li je to bilo drevno groblje?Ovdje je bilo mnogo grobova oko spomenika.Da li je to bio hram gdje su se drevni Britanci molili Suncu.Da li je to bilo mjesto gdje su vjestice i čarobnjaci prinosili ljudske zrtve Bogovima?Da li je to bila neka vrsta opservatorije,gdje su astronomi proucavali zvijezde i planete?
Mozda je sluzio kao sprava za astronomsko racunanje posto je spomenik okrenut prema jednoj tački na horizontu gdje sunce izlazi 24 Juna.Razvoj Stonhendža trajao je oko 4 vijeka.Dostigao je savrsenstvo oko 1500.U početku on se sastojao od kruga uspravnog kamenja koji je bio sastavljen neprekidnom linijom horizontalnog kamenja koje je lezalo preko.Ali mnogi od njih su oboreni.Jedno od zbunjujucih pitanja je zasto su se graditelji Stonhendžada donesu tesko kamenje sa udaljenih mijesta.Neko kamenje je donešeno sa mjesta 200 milja od Pembrokeshire,možda su ga pomijerali po zemlji na sankama ili su ga kotrljali.Drugi su doneseni iz obliznjeg Downs.Mi nikada necemo znati pravi odgovor.

Eight miles north of Salibury is a large circle of stones,which is called Stonehenge. Stonehenge
is the best known prehistoric monument in Britain.Nobody knowa why it was built
or what it was used for.
Was it an ancient cemeter?There are many graves around the monument.Was it a temple,where
the ancient Britons worshipped the Sun?Was is a place where witches and
magicians offered human sacrifices to gods?Was it a kind of observatory,where
astronomers studied the stars and the planets?Maybe it had served as
astronomical calculators since the monument faces the point on the horizon
where the sun rises on Midsummer’s Day.
The development of Stonehenge took about four centuries.The monument reached
perfection around 1500.It originally consisted of two circles of upright stones
joined by a continuous line of horizontal stones which lay on top of them.But
most of these have fallen down.One of the most puzzling questions is why Stonehenge
builders went to immense trouble of bringing the heavy stone from distant
places.Some stones were brought some 200 miles from Pembrokeshire,probably
being moved on land by sledges and roller over tree trunks.Others were brought
from nearby Downs.We will never know the real answer.
