Who built Stonehenge???? When did those people first create a civilization?

About 3,000 BCE (5,000 years ago), when the 1st Egyptian Dynasty was in operation, the residents of the area surrounding Stonehenge, appeared to have built this structure as a ceremonial center for activities of this ancient civilization. (Posts which were pounded longways into what must have been soft earth, to create a base for the structure, have been carbon-dated to this time period)...

Neolithic farming and agricultural people; then later, bronze age chieftains.

The earliest monument, the henge, dates from about 3000 BC. Around a similar time other great monuments weere also being built in Southern England, especially Wiltshire--Avebury, and the Superhenges at Durrington and Marden.

these were a slender Mediterranean type people, probably dark haired, with long heads and high cheekbones. Originally the first farmers in Britain came mainly from along the Atlantic seaboard (France,Spain etc) from an ultimate home in the near east. by the time the monument building began they had interbred with the 'native' Hunter gatherer stock who were primarily descended from peoples in the Basque region,so the Stonehenge peoples would have descended from both of these clans.

Later in the bronze age there was some continental input, not huge invasions, but trickles of traders and settlers, mainly from Middle Europe--Germany/Switzerland and Holland are two known point of origin as pinpointed by isotope testing on skeletons.. These people brought new ideas--elaborate pots, the first metals and even gold. They were a taller people,heavier set with broad round heads. They were archers and buried their dead in single burial mounds rather than in the earlier communal tombs. They took over a lot of the earlier monuments and often modified them by adding or changing stone arrangements.

+ To the poster who mentioned the Picts. Dna tests in two Pictish areas of Scotland have shown they are not particularly different from other celtic' peoples dna-wise. One group has more of the T haplogroup, and the other more of J--both of these are primarily neolithic,though the sub-clade T2 may be much older;& their ultimate ancestry comes via Syria and Anatolia (which would have been some 3 0r 4 thousand years at least prior to their arrival in Britain.) the most common haplogroup in people from Pictland is H, as it is across the British Isles,and depending on the mutations, is an indication of being from the first settlers, who arrived from the Basque regions after the Ice Age. Some have suggested the picts spoke a mutated form of Basque.

Have alook at the two web sites below

the Pictish people who just arrived from North Africa,s Berbers, recent DNA pruve that and you can find it now anywhere. they are.
