Here are three commentary/narration paragraphs to get you started with recording your own voiceover:
Stonehenge is an ancient monument located in Wiltshire, England. It is believed to date back to the Neolithic period of around 3000 BC, with the stones being set in place in the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period. The purpose of Stonehenge is still unknown, although it has been speculated that it could have been an ancient astronomical calendar or a temple to honour the dead.
The origins of the stones used to build Stonehenge are still largely a mystery. Some of the stones are believed to have come from the Preseli Hills in Welsh Wales, which are about 150 miles away from Stonehenge. It is thought that the stones were brought to the site using a type of sled and then erected in place using a combination of rope, levers and wooden frames.
Visitors to Stonehenge are able to explore the ancient monument and nearby visitor centre, which offers interactive displays and artefacts. There is also a cafe and gift shop at the site, as well as an audio tour which guides visitors through the history and mythology of Stonehenge. For those wanting to experience Stonehenge in a more unique way, there are also a number of special events and tours which take place throughout the year, such as sunrise and sunset tours and full moon ceremonies.
