Some archaeoastronomers are claiming that Stonehenge's alignment was based when the constellation Leo was ascendant. 14,000 years ago, which is of course utter nonsense. The first structure on the site was the surrounding earthwork constructed c 3000 BC. The radiocarbon dating for this phase is unambiguous and reliable. What is currently unclear is when the first stones were brought to site; some argue not long afterwards, others around 500 to 700 years later.

In answer to the question re the Coliseum, Stonehenge (i.e. the major stone monument) was already around 2,500 years old when the Coliseum was built. An author named Zechariah Sitchin may have a different answer to that. Archaeologists tend to ignore other factors other than what they have been trained to believed in. We have to consider the so-called mythologies of the ancients, their stories, w/c incidentally are very similar throughout the world irregardles of the oceanic and mountain barriers

How long has the Stonehenge been standing for?

The oldest parts of Stonehenge are probably the rocks which form the circle, or the air that surrounds it. The rocks would be millions of years old. The air would be even older, but since its composition changed over the lifetime of our planet, this date is less certain. The stone circle in its present form is thought to be approximately 5000 years old, although the site is said to have been used even earlier.
