Stonehenge, England

Stonehenge - The greatest mystery of the prehistoric worldIt is believe to have been erected around 2500 to 3000 BC and is also a burial ground.
Stonehenge evolved in several construction phases spanning at least 1500 years and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Stonehenge was produced by a culture with no written language, and many aspects of Stonehenge remain subject to debate. This multiplicity of theories, some of them very colorful, is often called the "mystery of Stonehenge." There is also little or no known construction techniques used by the builders.
The Heel Stone- is also called the Friar's Heel or Sunday Stone. A folktale says that the devil bought the stones from a woman in Ireland. A Friar argued with him and the Devil threw this stone at him and struck him in the heel. Others say that the stone just heels or leans.
I got this picture offline but it is really beautiful
