No shortage of Stonehenge replicas



The website clonehenge.com lists 96 large, permanent replicas of Stonehenge around the world, including five in Washington State in the United States.

The owners of Esperance Stonehenge describe their creation as the only astronomically aligned, full-scale, "exact" replica of a pristine Stonehenge in natural stone granite.

Construction of the replica took about 10 months.

According to the charity English Heritage, construction of the original Stonehenge in the United Kingdom is believed to have begun more than 5,000 years ago.

The Wiltshire monument has been a World Heritage Site since 1986 and archaeologists still debate theories surrounding its use and meaning.

Today, nearly one million people visit Stonehenge every year.
