Who built Stonehenge and why?

I have other questions that I will name all of them here about the wonders of the world...



1. In South Africa a tree called Jacaranda blooms mauve flowers... can I buy one in the states and will it grow in Dallas?



2. The Great Wall of China is one of the wonders of the world. It winds east to west for about 4,000 miles... How far is 4,000 in the states? From Alaska to Miami maybe?



3. What's so special about the Taj Mahal (one of the wonders of the world)?



4. What's the bridge called that takes you to downtown Sydney, Australia and overlooks The Sydney Opera House? And where can I find a gorgeous Australian man to marry?!?!?!



5. How big is one Canadian glacier?



6. These are just for fun, and I really don't need the answers, but if anyone knows feel free.... HAPPY HALLOWEENY!

Stonehenge was built in stages over several hundred years so no one person or group did it. According to a book published in about 1965 "Stonehenge Decoded" by Gerald S. Hawkins, early computer studies showed that the large stones were carefully sited to mark midsummer and midwinter sunrises and other alignments. These were accurate 3000 years ago but not now due to the "precession of the equinoxes". You can get copies and reviews off the site named for the big river in Brazil.



Jacarandas are grown throughout the area between Sydney and Rockhampton in Australia. When the flowers fall in early summer or late spring they don't smell too good. The blue jacaranda comes from Mexico and central America. They don't like frost so if you get frosts in Dallas you might have trouble.

Hope this help
Only answers for the ones that I know about.



Legend has it that Merlin built Stonehenge. To have done that AND still been around when Arthur is supposed to have existed historically means he would have lasted a good long while. Still, he was a powerful wizard, so anything is possible I guess.



1. Jacarandas prefer a warm coastal climate, and suffer under heavy frosts (and snowfall, I would assume). I don't know what climate you have in Dallas, but I would say that if you regularly get freezing conditions in winter a jacaranda won't grow there.



4. The bridge in Sydney is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Gorgeous Australian men are best found in Australia. :-) If you go to Sydney at Mardi Gras time you will see lots of gorgeous Australian men, but they will be more interested in marrying other gorgeous Australian men.
