Hey Pete
yes I saw
an article about the absolute disasterous work on Stonehenge in the 1900's

Now I read and saw pictures of the stones reset and set in concrete but this doesn't look like CONCRETE
this looks like METAL looks like Iron deposits on it
I just don't know many concrete slabs which hold up for 50 years so well in snow rain and sleet
It really makes you wonder what they found in all those excavations and the publish works are a travesty
For decades the official Stonehenge guidebooks have been full of fascinating facts and figures and theories surrounding the world's greatest prehistoric monument. What the glossy brochures do not mention, however, is the systematic rebuilding of the 4,000 year old stone circle throughout the 20th Century.
This is one of the dark secrets of history archaeologists don't talk about: The day they had the builders in at Stonehenge to recreate the most famous ancient monument in Britain as they thought it ought to look.
The news is sensational,' said Mr Edwards, a decorate student at the University of the West of England. 'Once I realised how much work had been carried out, I was amazed to discover that practically no-one outside of the henge know of its reconstruction in the last 100 years. I have always thought that if people are bothering to make a trip to Stonehenge, from home or abroad, then the least they should expect is a true story.'
