My creator is a mystery,
One that's set in stone.
My origins, my history,
Still totally unknown.

Tests of time I've had to face,
My strength and my endurance
Cause of weakness; it's your race,
But I'm free of all life currents.

Was I a calendar, a tomb, a shrine?
We've all wondered it before.
We don't know... but I'm a wonder!
I can tell you that for sure.

What am I?

Stonehenge.

The first verse describes the mystery that is Stonehenge. Although there are theories, we're still not absolutely positive who built it, how it was built, or why.

The second verse refers to the body of Stonehenge and the damage humans have caused. Each of the vertically-set stones weigh roughly over 5 tonnes, but tourists and passers-by have damaged and vandalized some smaller boulders also part of Stonehenge. There may also have been even more stones that were part of the broken circle that have now gone. Of course, rocks are lifeless, which explains the "life currents" mention.

The final verse explains some of the different theories developed for the purpose of Stonehenge. Some have said it was used to mark dates with the help of the sun's alignment, it may have been a burial ground, or even a temple of worship.

The capitalized words in the hint were used quite literally: Stonehenge is made of STONE, and it is one of the WONDERS of the world.

My history is long in telling,
Though my origins are unknown.
I watch the tender earth most carefully,
Clothed in discards long disowned.
I guard against the raucous poachers,
Praying for a gust of wind that will animate my lifeless form.
The autumn winds will signal the completion of my job.
Maybe if I had a brain I'd choose to move south for the winter.

When united they stand,
Perhaps I cause debt.
Give me a stone,
And I will be set.
I can be in your ears,
Or on threm as well.
You come to my call;
I'm the voice of a bell.
What am I?

You hear my sound; But that's not me
In fact, we look quite differently
I can have one; It always has two; I can have three
It can be anywhere, but I like sitting in a tree
It comes in many different forms
But I usually come in one
I have an assortment of colours
But eat me & I'm done
It can represent a bond
I can be used to jam
Can you figure out
What it is & what I am?
