WILTSHIRE (STONEHEDGE)
One of the most famous landmarks in the U.K., Stonehedge is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Archaeologists believe that it was constructed from 3000 B.C. to 2000 B.C., where it was originally a burial ground.
It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet high, 7 feet wide and weighing around 25 tons.
They are then topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones, making it one of the most baffling forms of human construction to date.
