The Age of Stonehenge

"The Age of Stonehenge" by Edward Duke is a historical exploration of the enigmatic Stonehenge monument, questioning its age and origins based on archeological discoveries. Duke challenges existing theories that place Stonehenge's construction in the Roman era, arguing instead for a pre-Roman origin based on evidence from nearby burial sites that predate Roman influence. He questions alternative views from other historians, suggesting that the artifacts found at Stonehenge do not conclusively demonstrate a post-Roman construction. Duke proposes that Stonehenge was a temple used for sun worship by early Britons. The book also emphasizes the resources and dedication required, suggesting that Stonehenge was constructed for weighty religious purposes rather than just a monument.
