There are many things over the world still a mystery. One of these "The Secret of Stonehenge" which is located in London for more than 4000 years ago. Until now, the scientists try to find out how builds it and why. They predict it is built by the same people who built Durrington Walls (a structure which is located about two miles northeast of Stonehenge and similar to it but larger and wooden). There are two strong theories about Stonehenge. First, it a place of the dead according to Mike Parker an archeologist. His theory bases on Malagasy culture. Malagasy people who built Durrington Walls. In their culture wood referred to life and stone referred to dead. The second theory says the Stonehenge is a place for health and healing. Because the archeologist found in Wales, about 250 miles west Stonehenge, a region of Wales are the Preseli Mountains. The mountain's water is predicted that is cure illness. With these studies and theories the Stonehenge still is mystery.
I like puzzle, and I look forward to find the answer. I feel excited when I read story "The Secret of Stonehenge." I hope to visit this place. In my opinion this a huge building was built for something else maybe connect with religion.
From this passage I learned more details about Stonehenge. Also, I learned some vocabulary, such as cite, grave, colleagues, pottery, and trace.

Hi Baqer
ReplyDeletei loved your summary
some times the scientists spend more time and money about things not very important.
I would like to visit Stonehenge, too. It's very mysterious. I don't know if we'll ever know why it was built, which, as Seemaa pointed out, is what makes it so appealing. But I think all of the theories are interesting and possible.
