Around the world
Stonehenge is an ancient circle of stones in the south of England. It is about 5,000 years old. It was probably a place to bury dead people or a place to study the stars and the sky at night.
There are dozens of stones , and they are different in height. The stones came from about 200 kilometres away. Some of the stones are missing, but it is still one of the most wonderful sights of the world. It is a wonder also because of this question: How did ancient people move these huge stones from so far without machines to help them No one knows the answer.
Stonehenge
巨石阵
英格兰东南部的历史名城索兹伯里附近,有一个小村庄名叫阿姆斯伯里,村西的原野上有一座阅尽沧桑、雄视千古的石柱群,这就是著名的古迹Stonehenge。这是一座由许多根石柱围成的史前建筑。这些石柱排成圆形,最高的石柱高达10米,它们的平均重量达26吨,这么重的家伙竟有不少是横架在两根竖直的石柱上的!Stonehenge这个名字的前一半Stone意为“石头”,后一半在现代英语词典中已查不到了,据考证它来自古代英语,意思是“高高悬挂着”。想来它在古代有一个形象的名字“高悬在天上的石头”。
巨石阵又称索尔兹伯里石环、环状列石、太阳神庙、史前石桌、斯通亨治石栏等名,是欧洲著名的史前时代文化神庙遗址,约建于公元前4,000-2,000年,属新石器时代末期至青铜时代。
这个巨大的石建筑群位于一个空旷的原野上,占地大约11公顷,主要是由许多整块的蓝砂岩组成,每块约重50吨。巨石阵不仅在建筑学史上具有的重要地位,在天文学上也同样有着重大的意义:它的主轴线、通往石柱的古道和夏至日早晨初升的太阳,在同一条线上;另外,其中还有两块石头的连线指向冬至日落的方向。因此,人们猜测,这很可能是远古人类为观测天象而建造的,可以算是天文台最早的雏形了。
