Was this from a hundred years ago while we still had snow? As to why? Joke’s on us. Druids are laughing their butts off.
To prank future generations?
LOL. That’s exactly what I was thinking.
That’s easy. It was built so bored people could have something to talk about in 2021 . . .
Pilgrimage ‘walk’.
Stonehenge was built so that Britons could navigate to Australia and brew the best beer in the world.
It was built because some people had a whole lot of time on their hands, and they wanted to play dominoes with the gods.
count votes?
p
Early Burning Man celebrations.
Stonehenge. Where the demons dwell. Where the banshees live and they do live well.
Nobody knows who they were or what they were doing.

Was it an attempt to create something that kinda sorta rhymes with ‘orange’?
The real reason is they had no TV or Internet to occupy their time. They needed something to do in their 14 extra hours of spare time each day.
Because they could.
Genesis 6:6
Many believe the giants of old built many structures.
The giant skulls used to be on display at the Smithsonian and you were able to read articles until mid to late 1950’s in the NY Times and WaPo, then the darwinist decided enough.
The first, if you build it, they will come.
An excellent and honest answer! I am always amused when self-proclaimed Druids claim Stonehenge (3,000 BC) when it predates the "Beaker People" (2,500 BC) as evidenced by recent DNA testing of contemporary Neolithic burials. As such, they pre-date the Indo-Europeans (1,500 BC) who were the probable Celts & Druidic religion.
Current DNA research makes it likely that there was a non-violent 90% population replacement of the original likely Stonehenge builders around 500 years after the main construction there. Waiting on other groups to make their claims since "if no one knows", anyone can claim, right?
That is best and most honest answer there is about why Stonehenge was built - we really do not know.
All else is speculation and worse it is speculation into which very modern views of many things are inserted into the minds of those who built it.
There are NO ancient “writings” connected to or with Stonehenge that were left by it’s builders. All that ANY archeologist can do is speculate.
