A prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, consisting of massive standing stones arranged in circles; one of the world's most famous archaeological mysteries.
From Old English 'stan' (stone) and 'hencge' (hinge or gallows-like structure). The monument dates to around 2500 BCE, and its true purpose remains debated by scholars.
Stonehenge is so ancient that even the Romans who invaded Britain 2,000 years after it was built didn't know who built it—it's a 5,000-year-old monument to something we still can't fully understand.
