Stonehenge
El famós monument megalític de Stonehenge, al sud d'Anglaterra.
Aquí està vist del sud-oest, en l'eix de simetria de les pedres. Es a dir que pel centre de la imatge és per on surt el sol el solstici d'estiu. Però en contra de molta teoria al respecte, ara sembla que no es tractava d'un observatori astronomic. De fet, gran part de les esglesies també estan aliniades amb la sortida de sol...

The most famous megalith in the world, Stonehenge.
Here you can see it from the southwest, in the axis of symmetry. That means that the sun rises in the center of the image, on the summer solstice. But, despite a lot of folklore about it, now it seems that this wasn't an astronomical observatory. A lot of medieval churches are also facing this axis and nobody claims that they were observatories.
