Oxford to Stonehenge

Almost 3 week school holidays, but we haven't got any vocations since my youngest son had been ill for nearly 2 weeks. But now he almost 90% recovered after was given antibiotics by the doctor at Marston Medical Center. Kesian dia, makan pun tak selera hanya sikit-sikit aje. But now telatah nakal menjelma kembali, come on Danish.....

Perjalanan pada 3 Jan 2011 sempena cuti sekolah lagi, kami ambil peluang dalam planning yang singkat untuk menjelajah dalam winter. So dipendekkan cerita kami plan ke Stonehenge->Bournemouth->Southampton->Portsmouth. Banyak tempat ni, nak pergi sekali harung....

Stonehenge ni just 1.30 minit from Oxford melalui countryside, cantekk beb....

History dia boleh dikatakan begini:-

"Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) west of Amesbury and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. It is at the centre of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.^[1]

Archaeologists had believed that the iconic stone monument was erected around 2500 BC, as described in the chronology below. One recent theory however, has suggested that the first stones were not erected until 2400-2200 BC,^[2] whilst another suggests that bluestones may have been erected at the site as early as 3000 BC (see phase 1 below). The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge monument"

Sejenak...Aku terfikir, orang dulu ni besar-besar mana, or mereka mempunyai teknologi jentera seperti kita. Namun tamadun itu pupus di makan peredaran zaman dan masa. Dunia ini telah lama menampung kehidupan yang pelbagai rupa dan fa'el. Semoga kita mengambil iktibar dari sejarah....patutla MalaysiaKu mewajibkan matapelajaran sejarah dalam SPM.
