Mysteries of Stonehenge

CLICK HERE to visit National Geographic Magazine's recent exploration of Stonehenge and it's purpose or significance. Consider the knowledge claims made in this feature about what Stonehenge is/was and compare them against the various claims that have been made in the past (e.g. religious shrine, giant clock, monument built by aliens, etc.). What do you think you know about Stonehenge? How does that compare to the knowledge claims discussed in the National Geographic feature? It might be interesting, from a TOK perspective, to take their 10 question "Stonehenge Quiz" before reading the article. (CLICK HERE for the quiz.)
