Who has visited Stonehenge?

There seem to be a lot of people on this site that are close to it.

What did you think?

I'd say whoever went to the time and trouble to move those stones like that must have been really, really, really, REALLY, drunk.

I've visited it several times.
It is quite impressive.

Unfortunately you can't get up close to it anymore.

The pyramids are more impressing though a bit disappointing.

Knossos, Athens, Ephesus are far more interesting.

I visited Stonehenge a couple of years back.
Looks a bit clinical these days.
The grass is mowed and manicured and inconsistent with the true history of the site.

I almost wish I had brought a 6 iron and a bucket of balls.

Imagine the time it took to move those huge rocks miles through woods and difficult terrain...

How do you think the site should be preserved?

Do you think it should be reconstructed?
There was quite a debate some years ago.

Disappointed!

I imagined.
Then thought maybe they brought them by sea?

I learned that they moved the rocks by placing logs under and roll them across he terrain.

Yes, I think that's what they said. Imagine the time it took, and so heavy - how did they manage to lift, place and replace the logs...?
