The Great Wall The Pyramids in Egypt Stonehenge What do you know about the places? Which one would you like to visit? Why? Stonehenge is a circle of large standing stones located near Salisbury(索尔兹伯里--津巴布韦首都),in Wiltshire(威尔特郡), England. People began building the site about 3100 BC and the construction continued in stages until about 1500BC. It is not clear who built Stonehenge. There are many legends and myths about Stonehenge. It was once believed that Stonehenge was built by the Druids (ancient priest), but the druids were active at a time when the stones had already been in place for 2,000 years. Some believe that the site was used by early astronomers and others suggest that the site was used as a burial ground for important people.Because of the size of the stones, the complexity of their arrangement and the efforts that must have gone in to its construction, it is reasonable to assume that the site was built to serve some significant purpose. 【自然概况】 长城是中国也是世界上修建时间最长、工程量最大的一项古代防御工程。自公元前 七八世纪开始，延续不断修筑了2000多年，分布于中国北部和中部
