write 3 interesting things you learned from this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6awRsjrVN4w&feature=youtu.be

example :

1. One interesting thing I learned from this video is that there are not just big stones for the Stonehenge, but also little stones and they are just as important, known as the “Blue Stones.” These stones were transported from Whales.

2. The original purpose for the Stonehenge was to act like a cremation center where bones and human material were buried within the circle. Today, these bones and parts are being dug up today to analyze them and figure out how those people used to live what they did. I would have never guessed that this location would have been used as a cremation site.

3. One final takeaway from this interesting video was how the people who built the Stonehenge felt about it. It was not just a burial ground, but was also predicted to be related to the Summer and Winter Solstices as some sort of astrological instrument. Whoever these builders were, they were very smart and precise with what they were doing because of how accurate their measurements were.
