Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles (3 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. Stonehenge's ring of standing stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Walk in the footsteps of your Neolithic ancestors at Stonehenge – one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe. Explore the ancient landscape on foot and step inside the Neolithic Houses to discover the tools and objects of everyday Neolithic life. Visit the world-class exhibition and visitor centre with 250 ancient objects and come face to face with a 5,500 year-old man.
"Stonehenge could have been built to worship sound rather than light, a bizarre new theory claims.
" Music could have been an inspiration for the design of Stonehenge, according to an American researcher.
Theories about the purpose of Stonehenge range from a secular calendar to a place of spiritual worship. Now, an archaeologist suggests that the Stonehenge monument in southern England may have been an attempt to mimic a sound-based illusion.
In geometry, a torus (plural tori) is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle. If the axis of revolution does not touch the circle, the surface has a ring shape and is called a torus of revolution.
I think we have found another solid truth.

Historical accounts of Stonehenge have often portrayed the site as a male-dominated space, but a recent archeological study suggests that women may have played a larger role in life near the prehistoric landmark than previously thought. In an excavation of cremated remains, archeologists found many high-status women buried at Stonehenge — in fact, they unearthed more women buried at the landmark than men. The study is to be published in the March/April issue of British Archeology, and its findings have the journal proclaiming, “Stonehenge was not just a man thing.”
An enormous row of 90 megalithic stones has been found buried beneath the prehistoric super-henge of Durrington Walls earthworks, only one mile from the world-famous site of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The huge line of megalithic stones lies 3 feet underground and has just been discovered through the use of sophisticated radar equipment. The finding is believed to have been a huge ritual monument.
Carved Stone Balls are petrospheres, usually round and rarely oval. They have from 3 to 160 protruding knobs on the surface. Their size is fairly uniform at around 2.75 inches or 7 cm across, they date from the late Neolithic to possibly as late as the Iron Age and are mainly found in Scotland, but also elsewhere in Britain and Ireland. They range from having no ornamentation (apart from the knobs) to extensive and highly varied engraved patterns.[2] A wide range of theories have been produced to explain their use or significance, without any one gaining very wide acceptance.

So what is Stonehenge according to you?
I mean, you posted all these links and videos and all of them has a different theory.
No bad intentions, just looking for some clearness in the woods.
Back in 2007, a series of huge, mysterious geoglyphs were discovered in the grasslands, or steppes, of Kazakhstan. Formed by human-made mounds, divots, and trenches, the structures create giant images that can be seen from the sky, including shapes that look like crop circles, squares, and swastikas. Archaeologists estimate they were created around 8,000 years ago, but have no idea who built them, or why.

Stonehenge is more than just the one group of standing stones that you see.

There is also speculation that Stonehenge may have been covered by a roof at one point and was a huge covered hall.
It's becoming clearer that this was maybe a vast complex, maybe like the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney, and probably makes more sense to see it as part of a whole rather than an anomalous free standing structure.
If it was to represent a sacred torus, would we not see more tori engraved on stones across the country since it was a sacred item?
Woodhenge is a Neolithic Class II henge and timber circle monument located in the Stonehenge World Heritage Site in Wiltshire, England. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of Stonehenge in the parish of Durrington, just north of Amesbury.

This is all interesting stuff, but why is it a conspiracy?
There are just lots of theories. Some daft, some plausible and thoughtful.
It is a conspiracy? because we are not being told the truth about Stone Henge and all the other stone structures.

We NEVER get told the truth EVER!
So where are they now, there decedents? As no one is coming forward and admitting what these stone structures and other artefacts really are. There is a blatant cover up. A conspiracy to the truth.
Why?

It means that whoever built Stone Henge and other stone structures of a similar type. Where advanced. And thriving civilizations.
