Stonehenge? Why was it built or designed?

Question

I don't seem to find any information that makes sense and explains why...

Answer 1

The writeup by Webster 1913 "An assemblage of upright stones with others placed horizontally on their tops, on Salisbury Plain, England, -- generally supposed to be the remains of an ancient Druidical temple."

However, In his book, The Druids: Celtic Priests of Nature, author Jean Markale writes, "...But the problem lies in the fact that Stonehenge isn't Celtic. It was constructed in the Megalithic era, around 2000 B.C., and then reworked twice - on separate occasions - during the Bronze Age. It often appears in Celtic tradition, however, if only through the legend that presents this monument as the magic work of Merlin, or in the Arthurian tales that place Arthur's last battle in this immediate vacinity. This incontestably raises the question of Celts and therefore the druids, incorporating into their culture a tradition that preceded their arrival. Moreover, the solar cult's period of triumph must be sought not within the Celtic Iron Age, but within the Nordic Bronze Age."(page 49)

Markale's main arguments are that Stonehenge was constructed long before the formation of the Celtic society in which the druids resided; and furthermore, that the structure was obviously used for solar worship, which peaked in the Nordic Bronze Age.

Jean Markale was unable to credit an individual group of people with the construction of Stonehenge, which further adds to its mystique.

Answer 2

the stones are made of the same material that was used to make axes back in the day, trade of this rare stone would have made the people of the area very wealthy and they subsequent traders, the stones may have been hauled all the way down to where they are as a symbol of wealth, as most of the humans back then would have lived down in the south of england where it was a bit warmer.

i dont believe it was a calender, they didnt need to know the exact date, all they needed to know is when to plant their crops and harvest them, thow it wouldnt have stopped them making something that would look cool on a special day, i.e when the sun was at its highest.

dowsers say the powerful stones amplify an already present energy field, which some people say creats a funnnel or energy outof the middle, crossing of multible ley lines

they could have been the frame of a bigger construction?

we just dont know for sure, but we can keep guessing
