A serious discussion on Stonehenge: Stonehenge has been the monument of national importance as it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. But the management of this famous site brings it as a concern for the people of the nation. To make people aware of it, few of the organizations came up with a good idea. They provided the students with an informative file of Google Earth that helps them to look at the Ordinance Survey map extract, pictures etc. These files will make the students aware about the management problems being faced in order to preserve the Stonehenge and make a decision that is it a wonder or a national disgrace? Actually it is a monument of worldwide importance. The erection of the stones of the Stonehenge began some 3000 years before and it was completed after some 1000 years. It does give evidence of the human activities dating back to 8000 years.

Hope that all the problems related to the Stonehenge are resolved with the help of the Google Earth.
