London, England -- (SBWire) -- 09/06/2011 --Stonehenge does not fail to cause much debate. Take a Stonehenge coach tour from London and be enthralled by this ever enchanting landmark. Even step inside the stone circle itself, for an experience that will stay entrenched in your mind for years afterwards.

The fascination Stonehenge continues to exert is amply evidenced by the fact that excavations at the site take place to this day. Despite the sheer extent and diverse range of theories about Stonehenge, despite the number of times new information about the landmark is hailed as a breakthrough, we appear no nearer to, in actual fact, deciphering the major mysteries that lie behind the numinous monument. We possibly never will; this could be why it still enchants so many.

How did our forefathers transport the immense stones over such a distance and then, making use of only the most simple tools, build the grandiose structure of Stonehenge? Its construction is cloaked in obscurity and ambiguity.

There is also much surmise as to what Stonehenge was particularly constructed for. Some claim Stonehenge was a monument used in pagan rites, notably as a site of human sacrifice; others believe it was something far more inoffensive to the modern sensibility, such as an astronomical clock. One of the most bizarre early theories about Stonehenge was Geoffrey of Monmouth’s.

In the twelfth century, Geoffrey of Monmouth included a story in his work Historia Regum Britanniae that ascribed the creation of Stonehenge to none other than Merlin.

Geoffrey of Monmouth then made the possibly even more strange affirmation that the rocks of Stonehenge were healing rocks, called the Giant's Dance. He said that giants carried these rocks from Africa to Ireland for healing purposes.
