The Archer was dubbed the King of Stonehenge because it is thought he had
a major role in creating the monument. Read more on BBC`s website:

Stonehenge.
According to the organisation English Heritage`s website, is the great and
ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is one of the wonders of the world. Here it`s
possible to see the substantial remnants of the last in a sequence of such
monuments erected between circa 3000BC and 1600BC. Each monument was a circular
structure, aligned with the rising of the sun at the midsummer solstice. See www.english-heritage.org.uk.
The latest bones discovered are some 4,500 years old - the same age as the
Archer. The big question is wether these bodies have something to do with the
construction of the monument. Perhaps the Stonehenge stone circle is older than
people have believed?

Additional information
As known from carbon dating, the construction
of the stone circle started for over 5,000 years ago, but no one knows the
who, how or why of its origin. Just go there and see it for yourself. Experience
the supernatural enigma as it is today. Just let your imaginations float away
and dream about what happen at that time. Who built Stonehenge? Was it the
Phoenicians? The Romans? The Druids? Also some people believe it was built by
Externals.
And how did they get those massive stones all the way from southern Wales to
the Salisbury Plain? And for what purpose? Was it a solar timepiece? An
observatory? A temple? King Arthur's grave?
The area around Stonhenge is
wide, and perhaps by seeing it from the whole picture, it will be a better way
to solve the mystery.
Stonehenge is located 2 miles west of
Amesbury in Wiltshire; 90 miles from London. It`s possible to take a bus to the
place.
