The year is 3100 BC and James was digging gigantic holes that would be around 33 meters in diameter (“Allman 36”). He dug these holes on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, southern England. James and the other workers tried to make a living digging these huge holes day after day. James and the other workers dug these holes to later build the mysterious Stonehenge. These blocks of stone weighed up to 50 tonnes and digging the holes required many hours of work (“About”). It was also very hard work and required a lot of dedication if they wanted to build Stonehenge perfectly. For James, he only worked on the excavations for 35 years. The digging only took a few thousand years, but in total it took more than 30 million man hours to complete Stonehenge (“About”). It took many more people than James to complete Stonehenge. Stonehenge was built in three phases (“About”). These three construction phases were the most important stages in the construction of Stonehenge. Once all three steps are completed, there should be a magnificent Stonehenge. This remarkable monument would later be visited and visited by millions of people from all over the world. The year is 3000 BC. and the first phase has begun. Even though a few hundred years ago people were beginning the first phase, they did not complete it. The first phase mainly consisted of digging the holes to put the pillars in place during the second and third phases of Stonehenge. The reason the first phase wasn't completed a few hundred years ago was because many people didn't know what they were doing. People also didn't know what would happen if they made a mistake. So here we are in 3000 BC. and the first phase has...... middle of paper ...... able to predict eclipses ("Stonehenge"). They would also not be able to predict the configuration of the stars, the movements of the moon and the sun (“Stonehenge”). The final stage lasted about 500 years. Stonehenge was a remarkable monument that has been a centerpiece for thousands of workers and generations. When Stonehenge was completed, the man in charge was Richard. Richard said: “This magnificent monument will be seen by people all over the world and will be one of the greatest creations human beings have ever created. » Richard also said: “Future generations should take great care of this remarkable creation. » It was in 1922 that the British government began restoring Stonehenge (“Hamlin”). This restoration would benefit Stonehenge as most of the rocks were eroding. The eroded, cracked and damaged rocks were then transported (“Hamlin”).
