Stonehenge is still a mystery...
Q: How was it built
？
Q: Was it difficult to build Stonehenge
I think it was not difficult.
The aliens were smart and they might fly the UFO to carry the huge stones.
/...
I think that Stonehenge might be built by the
aliens. And it was built about 5000 years ago,
It was used for communicating with the other planets. When you stay in the middle, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body, so you can be very powerful. And it was very easy for them to build it. They might fly the UFO to carry the huge stones. But when they finished it, they found humans were so smart that they had to leave.
All in all, I believe that Stonehenge is not only a wonderful place to visit, but also full of the greatest mysteries.

The Great Wall
We can see walls everywhere in the world, but the Great Wall of China is the biggest of all. It runs from the east to the west in North China. The Chinese call it “ the Ten-thousand-li Great Wall.” It is in fact more than 6,000 kilometers long.
The Great Wall is wide enough for ten men to walk side by side. Horses can also run along it, too. The Great Wall is made of stones and bricks. There are huge stones on each side and on the highest part. But now some parts of it are worn out.
The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. There are tall watch-towers along the Great Wall. Once upon a time, the soldiers kept watching the enemies in the watch-towers day and night. They made fire on the towers to tell each other when the enemies came.
Today we don’t use the Great Wall to keep away the enemies any more. The Great Wall has become a place of interest. Not only Chinese people but also people from all over the world come to visit it. It is a Chinese saying, “A man who has never been to the Great Wall is not a real man.”
