STONEHENGE
Posted by rainy at 6:53 pm in educational

        Stonehenge is a book that was written for children by Matt Doeden.  It has many fascinating pictures and lots of facts about the mysterious monument in England.   The monument is composed completely of extremely large stones.  No one knows for sure exactly how these stones were placed one on top of the other due to their large size.

         The book is a fun look at Stonehenge; but, it doesn’t answer the obvious questions like who built it for sure; or how was it built.  Nor does the book answer with any kind of final word on what Stonehenge was built for…what purpose did it serve. 

         Still, the book is an enjoyable look at a historic place that many of us never will have the opportunity to see in person. 

           The publisher is Capstone Press.  The book was copywrited in 2007 and you can visit the publisher at :  www.capstonepress.com.

    Hey Rainy,

    I came across your post and think I may be able to add a bit about Stone Henge. My name is Yvette and I work with the Smithsonian Channel whose partnering with the BBC and helping with their online coverage of the first dig in 50 years at Stone Henge.

    We have a landing page here with daily video updates and discoveries and even more timely info: http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/show_stonehenge.do
    Also, the Executive Producer of the Channel, David Royle, is live blogging from Stonehenge with video feeds for the next few days. http://community.smithsonianchannelcommunity.com/droyle

    Maybe we’ll be able to unlock some of the mysteries. I hope you take a look and enjoy the new videos!
