Stonehenge is the most famous megalithic structure in the world. Instantly recognisable but infinitely mysterious, after 5000 years still nobody knows what it was or why it was created. Loved by 18th-century astronomers, Victorian romantics and 20th century druids alike, it’s become a cultural icon. Join one of Britain’s leading archaeologists and broadcasters Julian Richards, star of BBC2’s Meet the Ancestors and world expert on Stonehenge, as he explores our enduring fascination with the stones across the centuries and reveals the latest cutting-edge research on the question of exactly who built them and why.
