Millennium Stonehenge: Found in the Norman Dynasty, what is the architectural situation?

As China people, we are all proud of China's 5,000-year history of civilization, and the Great Wall of Wan Li has become the best work witnessed by the Millennium. In distant England, there is also a building thousands of years ago, that is Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain.

Stonehenge consists of dozens of huge stone pillars, surrounded by circular ditches and mounds with a diameter of about 90 meters, and there are 56 circular pits next to it on the inside; What makes people feel shocked is that these huge stones, which are as high as five or six meters and weigh twenty or thirty tons, and huge stones straddle two upright stone pillars.

Who built these huge building blocks? Do they have anything to do with the British now? The author recently read Stonehenge by Francis Poole, one of the outstanding British archaeologists, and found some answers in this regard.

According to British records, Stonehenge was discovered by accident when a priest was out in 1 130. At this time, Britain was ruled by Norman King Henry I, and China was in the period of Emperor Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Stonehenge obviously appeared before 1 130. After all, such a big project can never be accomplished overnight. Then let's look at the history of Britain.

The Norman Dynasty was founded by William, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Normandy in France. He defeated Harold Gwensen, the last monarch of Wessex in Anglo-Saxon period, in 1066. Illegitimate William, also known as William Ⅰ the Conqueror, is now a member of the British royal family and has a little blood relationship with William I.

Before the Norman dynasty, it was the kingdom of Wessex in Anglo-Saxon period, and the Danish invasion many times also affected Harold Gwensen's national subjugation.

Further on, the kingdom of Wessex and Danes were ruled by Germanic tribes, such as the Anglo-Saxons living near the mouth of the Elbe River in Germany and southern Denmark, and the Jutes from the lower reaches of the Rhine River. They were at war at first, and then they established seven countries. The British think they are descended from the Anglo-Saxons, and this is the root.

However, before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, Britain was controlled by the Romans. In 43 AD, the Roman emperor Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus conquered Britain and ruled for more than 300 years. In other words, the Anglo-Saxons were not the earliest aborigines in Britain.

Before the Roman army invaded, Britain was occupied by Celts who originally lived in western Europe. Celts immigrated to Britain after about 700 BC and occupied a dominant position, but obviously, they have long been marginalized.

Before the Celts, there were other nationalities in Britain, that is, Iberians, who came from the European continent around 13 BC, but they also had no news.

Before the Iberians, who else was in Britain? There may be older aborigines in Britain, but now there is definitely nothing.

So, Normans, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Jutes, Romans, Celts, Iberians and so on. Who built Stonehenge? The answer given by Francis Phulel is, neither!

Because according to archaeological research, Stonehenge began to be built around 2500 BC, when the earliest Iberians were still in Europe and did not come to Britain; Then there is only one truth, and the builder is the original aborigines in Britain.

However, these indigenous people who have not left any records are obviously much more advanced than animals. Stonehenge was built for religious sacrifices and other reasons. Francis Phulel believes that from about 2400 BC, these indigenous people first planted trees on the land of Stonehenge as a guide to their daily lives, and then began to plant stone pillars to worship their dead ancestors and gods. This is actually a journey from birth to death; But so much truth depends on the discovery of archaeologists!

Stonehenge did not become what it is today overnight. Later, during the 600 years from about 2 100 BC to 1500 BC, the indigenous people constantly adjusted Stonehenge and finally formed the present Stonehenge.

About 1500 BC, Stonehenge was completely completed, but it was still about 200 years before the arrival of the earliest European immigrants, the Iberians. Where on earth have these aborigines gone and who are they? I'm afraid there will be more research.

There are more than ten precious full-color illustrations in the book Stonehenge, such as the aerial photos of Stonehenge and casas's tomb, which show the paintings of the early medieval construction process. There are several full-color maps in the appendix, which greatly facilitates readers to understand the positional relationship among many relics, making this book not only worth reading, but also of good collection value.
