Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This riveting documentary from the filmmakers at NOVA seeks to uncover the mysterious origins of the massive stone structure in Salisbury Plain, England known as Stonehenge. Dating back 5000 years to the late stone age, the purposes of the structure and the way it was constructed have spurred continual debate, but in the program, scientists and archaeologists pose theories about how and why it came to be. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi
