2. Stonehenge – England

Stonehenge is a complex archaeological site in Wiltshire, England. It is located on Salisbury Plain and was constructed between 3100 and 2700 BC.

The Stonehenge monument was built by the pre-historic people of the Bronze Age, who erected a series of avenues and enclosures to store grain for winter. These monuments were used as astronomical observatories, to predict eclipses, and as places of religious significance. The site has been in use since prehistoric times, but it is thought that it was first used for astronomical purposes by the Neolithic people who settled in this area some 5,000 years ago.

Stonehenge has been the subject of many archaeological investigations over its history, with new finds being made at each excavation. Its most famous discovery is that made by Professor Howard Carter in 1911 when he found a set of three stone steps leading down into a chamber beneath the stone circles – he called this chamber “the tomb”.

The entrance to Machu Picchu is called Sacsayhuaman or ‘Sacred Valley’.

The temple is thought to have been destroyed by an earthquake in 431 BC, but it had already been rebuilt before this date. The current building dates from about 350 BC and was made by Phidias, the famous Athenian sculptor who designed some of the great works at Athens during its golden age in classical Greece.

The Colosseum is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It has been called “the most magnificent building ever constructed by man”. The building is massive, with three levels and an enormous diameter. The two outer tiers were made from concrete and sandstone blocks, while the inner level was made from bronze sheets. On top of these sheets were placed wooden beams to support them, which were covered with leather to protect them from the elements. The structure was supported by wooden columns that had been cut into pieces for easy transportation across Europe during Roman times.

The world is full of history and wonders. There are many places that we have never been to, but we can still see them in the movies or read about them in books. This is the reason why we should visit these places and experience them for ourselves.
