More recently two major new theories have been proposed. Some scientists

have suggested that Stonehenge was a place of healing – the primeval equivalent of Lourdes.

Слайд 8The Heel Stone
"Heel Stone," "Friar’s Heel" or "Sun-Stone“
The Heel Stone lies

just outside the main entrance to
the henge. It is a rough stone, 16 feet (4.9 m)
aboveground, leaning inwards towards the stone
circle. It has been known by many names in the past,
including "Friar's Heel" and "Sun-stone".
Today it is uniformly referred to as the Heel Stone or
Heelstone. When one stands within Stonehenge,
facing north-east through the entrance towards the
heel stone, one sees the sun rise above the stone at
summer solstice.
