Less than two centuries later, we had our first cultural breakthrough - in Bibracte, we completed the construction of
Stonehenge! A tremendous accomplishment, it establishes us on the world stage as one of the great civilizations of the Ancient Age. With the completion of this epic project, our cultural borders will spread quicker than ever. Other nations will look upon our incredible culture and engineering abilities with wonder.
Construction of Stonehenge
Bibracte After Completion of Stonehenge, 2075 BCE
In the above picture of Bibracte, one can see our new monument peaking out from under the treetops on the south side of the city. To the north, one can see the quarry from which the stone originated, and the road on which it was brought to the city. Pulling the incredibly heavy blocks of stone on wooden rollers up and over that hill must have been a real chore. Also note the corn farm and the fishing boats in the near harbor. Our nation is developing nicely.
