Britain has an intriguing history that goes back thousands of years. Unfortunately many people living in present time know nothing or very little about it.
Its all about the Kings and Queens, and about different people who helped shaped the current state of affairs in Great Britain.
Britain is not a single country but a union of 4 nations, which is why it is called Great, and of course it has ex-colonies and expatriates spread all over the globe making its present make-up a mixture of various communities from all across the world in the United Kingdom.
The first signs of mankind in the British Isles (Yes Britain is an island) appears to be around 4000 BC in the Stone Age.
No literature of course exists for this era, but many stone age artifacts have been found both on the tip of Cornwall in the South all the way to the north of Scotland and their main legacy is Stonehenge in Wiltshire in Southern England and this is truly one of the seven wonders of England without doubt.
The other location which always overlooked is Avebury. In Avebury you will not find any large structure, as in Stonehenge, but you will find the remnants of a temple or something that was built over 2000 years and the reasons are not yet known.
Later in history these type of stones were used for making houses and roads etc.
After the Stone Age came the Iron Age (1500 BC to 43 AD approx) and men started using iron tools and also became more aggressive, building metal weapons and then different groups and families needed protection from other groups and families.
