STONEHENGE

Stonehenge is definitely one of England's greatest icons.
Its original purpose is still somewhat unclear, but some have speculated that it was a temple made for worship of ancient earth deities.
It has also been called an astronomical observatory for marking significant events on the ancient prehistoric calendar.
Others claim that it was a sacred site created by Merlin and King Arthur for the burial of high-ranking citizens from societies of long ago.
No matter what the claim has been for Stonehenge's original purpose,
the truth is that it has inspired countless generations of people to strive to learn and figure out the history of our past.
Stonehenge is somewhat a "gateway to the realms" providing insights into humanities past and showing that maybe we were not as "technically challenged" as some would like us to believe.
The earliest portion of Stonehenge dates to approximately 2950-2900 BC.
The dates for each "period" can be fixed to about a 100 years or so with radiocarbon dating,
but as to the exact building sequence within each period archaeologist cannot be certain.

THE JERSEY DEVIL

The celebrated sports-mascot is a part of actual, North American mythology passed down from the American Indians. Alternately, the Jersey Devil is said to be the undying, demonic offspring of a cursed woman by the name of Mrs. Leeds. Either way, sightings of the fearsome, New Jersey resident go back hundreds of years, though descriptions of the beast vary wildly from that of a dragon, to a winged stag to a bigfoot-like creature. By some reports it is known to prey on livestock, terrorize naughty children, and pepper snowy rooftops with it's hoof-prints.
