	Summer Solstice at Stonehenge Video
		Historians used to say that the Druids couldn’t have built Stonehenge and all the other stone circles in Britain, because the Druids were the priests of the Celts, and the Celts only arrived in Britain in 500 BCE.

		If stone circles were no longer built in Britain after 1400 BCE and the Celts did not arrive until 500 BCE, the Druids could apparently not have been contemporary with megalithic monuments.
