Experts "solve" mystery of Stonehenge.

I find places like Stonehenge beyond fascinating.  I can just imagine the energy you feel when you're there, a place just charged by thousands of years of people passing through.  It makes me wonder, when did Stonehenge become a mystery?  How did its original purpose get lost?  On the small scale, who was the last person to "know" what Stonehenge was all about?  What was their life like, what did they eat every day, who did they love?  On the large scale, how does something that was obviously so important to a society become obsolete to the point that no one has any clue what it's for or why it exists?  I hope to make it there one day, it's in my top 5. 

Oh, to just lay a hand on those stones and think about how they were formed, where they originated, how they were chosen, molded, hauled into place, the thought of someone at a different moment in time with their hand in the same place as mine, it just gives me chills.  I seriously just want to go up and hug one of the pillars, close my eyes and see what happens.  Feel the energy of the place course through my body.  It's just one of those places that I feel connected to for some reason, even though I've never been there.

My parents visited it in March 2006, here's a picture of my mom there, sick with a major cold, if I remember correctly, but a total trooper, as always.
