Narratives in Cultural Sites When you see culturally important buildings, monuments, and artifacts, have you ever wondered what stories they contain, how long they’ve existed, and why they were created? Many have their own cultural narratives. Those stories help to preserve cultural tradition and pass on cultural values from one generation to another, thus keeping cultures alive. Now let’s look at two mysterious sites in England and Egypt and find out what cultural narratives they contain. How Did They Move the Huge Stones of Stonehenge ? Stonehenge is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most recognizable landmarks in England, drawing visitors from all around the world. A prehistoric monument built on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, it is considered by many British people to be an icon of their culture. The stones are so massive that it’s hard to figure out how anyone could move them. Several old folktales try to explain this problem, the oldest of which is Geoffrey of Monmouth’s “History of the Kings of Britain” written in 1136.
