Others (referring to the language of the ancient Celts), translate the name of this place as "dancing stones". The date of the beginning of construction is about 3100 BC. The purpose of the construction of Stonehenge was unknown for a very long time. In the XVIII century, there was an assumption about an ancient observatory, which forced researchers to associate Stonehenge with druids. The "cult" and "astronomical" variants were also joined by a connection with alien beings.

stages: in 1599, at the expense of the troupe of actors Lord Chamberlain's Men, to which William Shakespeare also belonged, the first building of the Globe Theater was built, which was destroyed by fire in 1613. A year later, the theater building was restored, and lasted until 1642.

And finally, in 1997, the modern building of the Globe Theater was opened, recreated according to the descriptions and parts of the foundation found during archaeological excavations. The Globe Theater was very popular due in large part to the fact that all the plays of Shakespeare and other outstanding playwrights of that era were staged on its stage. In 1613, during the premiere of Shakespeare's Henry VIII, a fire broke out in the theater: a stage cannon accidentally set fire to the thatched roof over the stage, and the theater burned to the ground. The tragic end of the first "Globe" marked the change of literary and theatrical eras: around the same time Shakespeare stopped writing plays, said goodbye to the world of theater and left for Stratford.
