Through all the buildings and formations we have touched upon this year, my favorite was Stonehenge. The allure of Stonehenge first came from the mythical construction, with no definite answer found to date. But after learning about it in class, and learning the usage of the space as a calendar, I was much more interested in Stonehenge than previous. From watching things on TV about it, I only ever knew it as this odd rock formation and historians battled over if aliens built it or not. But having the classroom experience and learning about it being used as a lunar calendar, gave Stonehenge an entirely new level to connect on. It's amazing to think that people hundreds and thousands of years ago can build such structures with such thought and precision.
