4 Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the
greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big
and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t . “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working--and great planners!”
