It's unbelievable what people have achieved and built in the past (without any technology) - it's simply impressive and breathtaking

A television series that I wholeheartedly recommend introduces culture-loving viewers to remarkable testimonies to human activity from many countries around the world. What they all have in common is that they have been granted "World Heritage" status by UNESCO. One of the episodes documents the ancient and still mysterious stone circle of Stonehenge. The accompanying documentary states: "The Salisbury Plateau in southern England is a harsh and uninviting area, often subject to cold and biting winds. About 5,000 years ago, during the Neolithic period, people lived here, about whom we know very little. But what they and subsequent generations left behind is impressive beyond measure: the stone circles and burial mounds of the Megalithic culture."

Sarsen stones are blocks of sandstone found in large numbers in England, it is a contraction of Saracen stone, where “Saracenic” is equivalent to “pagan”. In this respect, sarsen means something like “heathen stone”, “stone of the heathen”. The most famous sarsen stones can be found here in Stonehenge.
