Primera fotografía aérea de Stonehenge
In this extraordinary image, we behold Stonehenge as the heavens saw it for the first time—captured in 1906 from a military balloon by Lieutenant Philip Henry Sharpe of the Royal Engineers’ Balloon Section.
It marked a turning point in archaeological observation, unveiling the sacred geometry of the Neolithic monument in its full ceremonial context. Long before drones or satellites, it was gas and canvas that first offered mankind this elevated perspective on a mystery thousands of years old.
A triumph of early aerial photography—and a haunting glimpse of England’s prehistoric soul, seen from above.
