Stonehenge Builders

Stonehenge builders were prehistoric communities who lived in Britain during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age. They constructed Stonehenge in several phases between about 3000 and 1600 BC, using simple tools made of stone, wood, and bone. The builders transported massive stones over long distances, including bluestones from Wales, demonstrating remarkable organisation, cooperation, and engineering skill. Archaeological evidence suggests these people were farmers with complex social structures and strong spiritual beliefs. Stonehenge builders likely worked together seasonally, guided by ritual knowledge and astronomical observation. Their achievement reflects not only physical labour, but shared belief, planning, and a deep connection to landscape, ancestors, and the cycles of the sun and seasons.
