The Mysteries of Stonehenge: Salisbury, Wiltshire, England

Updated: Aug 23, 2024

Genesis 6:4

(English Standard Version)

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Many theories have been proposed regarding the history of Stonehenge. This blog explores a few interpretations but focuses on the Nephilim theory, based on Genesis 6:4 in the Bible, which states that giants once lived on the earth during prehistoric times. I hope you enjoy this interpretation. Please leave your thoughts in the comments box below and watch the eleven-minute vlog for travel tips and a Nephilim interpretation of the history of Stonehenge.

Brief History of Stonehenge

Archeologists purport that people have lived on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire County, England, where the ancient monument of Stonehenge is located, since 7200 B.C. Archeologists have also found that this site was built in 5 stages, beginning in 3000 B. C. and ending around 1500 B.C.[1] The stones on Salisbury Plain were brought to this location by a civilization called the Beaker People.[2] This is a funny name, but these people were named the Beaker people due to the significant number of beautifully designed clay beakers that archeologists found when excavating their burial sites near Salisbury Plain. Some of these burial sites date back to 2400 B. C. Archeologists have also determined that there were three cultures of people responsible for the construction of Stonehenge; the earliest setters came to Salisbury Plain around 3000 B. C. and are called the Windmill Hill people, accountable for creating the circular structure on which the stones from Wales eventually were placed.[3] Archeologists speculate that one thousand years later, in 2000 B. C., the second group of settlers, the Beaker people, carried or pulled the magnificent sarsen and bluestones 240 kilometers, or 150 miles, from the Preseli Hills of Wales to Salisbury Plain, possibly using wooden rolling logs and boats wherein the stones were carried across bodies of water.[4] The third group of settlers, the Wessex people, arrived around 1500 B.C., and archeologists suspect that it was during this era that the final additions to the stone construction and design were completed.[5] Although it is difficult to determine the exact use of these stones, some sources indicate that they were used as burial sites and, most likely, as a solar calendar.[6] Similar structures in France from the Late Stone Age and Copper Age were used as houses.[7] Since 1986, the mysteries of Stonehenge have intrigued the minds of at least 1 million tourists per year, tourists just like me, who have traveled from the ends of the earth to pay homage to this UNESCO World Heritage and English Heritage Site.
