Another theory states that Stonehenge was started by one group of people and finished by several other groups over time. Some theorize that the Druids were not the original builders of Stonehenge but may have completed it, however, most figure they did not work alone. Over the last three hundred years Druids have come to worship at Stonehenge. The Druids consider Stonehenge their religious temple. From early digs at Stonehenge we know that Stonehenge was at least one time used for burial ceremonies because of the human remains that have been found at Stonehenge. .
Whoever built Stonehenge was an extremely advanced society, and some theorize that the construction of Stonehenge was either by design or complete fluke. When Stonehenge was built people had no way of telling the time. Perhaps the Druids wished to keep records of events. Some scientists believe that Stonehenge was used as some sort of sundial to tell the time or as a calendar to tell the date. Many say that because of Stonehenge's exact solar and lunar alignment, the most common theory is that it was built to predict eclipses for worshiping. Scientists came to this conclusion due to the way the sun hits the stones. When the sun rises it casts a shadow through an opening in the one side of Stonehenge, as the day passes and the shadow moves across the middle showing the time of day. At different times during the day the sun casts different shadows on the stone that lies in the center of Stonehenge, the altar stone. The uses for Stonehenge have always been a great mystery. No one knows for sure what Stonehenge uses were.
