Construction period: Stonehenge was built in phases during the Late Neolithic, roughly completed between 4000 BC and 2000 BC. There are two main types of stones: larger sarsen sandstone and smaller bluestones. How these multi-ton megaliths were transported here thousands of years ago remains a mystery. 2. Purpose mystery: The purpose of Stonehenge remains one of archaeology’s great puzzles. Mainstream theories suggest it served multiple functions rather than a single one—evolving from an early burial site into a complex place aligned with celestial events for calendar calculations, and a venue for large ceremonies and rituals.
