Stand on Salisbury Plain in southern England as the summer sun rises. An earthwork avenue leads toward a stone circle. Two upright stones hold a lintel above the ground. Beyond them, the Heel Stone marks the direction of the midsummer sunrise. In winter, the main axis points toward sunset. This is not a random pile of rocks. Stonehenge was designed around direction, built in stages and used over at least a thousand y
