UNESCO Are now causing problems with a tunnel underneath stone hedge. Locals are saying the traffic is unbearable and needs to be built, will be out of sight of the stone hendge but of course Unesco don't approve.

UNESCO want the ye olde A303 to still be there in full sight of the monument as that was how it was back when they built Stonehenge. :oops:

I thought of this the other day and it just shows that they need a reason to complain to boost the budget and number of people at the department, as really there should be work for about 4 people if everything wasn't an issue for them.

One hundred percent old miserable people. Same as old scousers moaning about the littlewoods building burning when it's been derelict and falling apart for 40 years. Or the futurist which had treees growing out of it in the city's centre being knocked down.

Thing is Stone Henge has been altered, I'm sure it looks different now then it did a 100 years ago.

It has too. I saw somewhere that back in the 1900s some group or other rearranged it, moved / repositioned / lifted / stood some stones back upright... to where they thought, they might've been.
there is an early photo out there.

"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.

This picture shows workers on the site in 1901 in a restoration which caused outrage at the time but which is rarely referred to in official guidebooks. For it means that Stonehenge, jewel in the crown of Britain's heritage industry, is not all it seems. Much of what the ancient site's millions of visitors see in fact dates back less than 50 years.

From 1901 to 1964, the majority of the stone circle was restored in a series of makeovers which have left it, in the words of one archaeologist, as 'a product of the 20th century heritage industry'. But the information is markedly absent from the guidebooks and info-phones used by tourists at the site. Coming in the wake of the news that the nearby Avebury stone circle was almost totally rebuilt in the 1920s, the revelation about Stonehenge has caused embarrassment among archaelogists. English Heritage, the guardian of the monument, is to rewrite the official guide, which dismisses the Henge's recent history in a few words. Dave Batchelor, English Heritage's senior archaeologist said he would personally rewrite the official guide. 'The detail was dropped in the Sixties', he admitted. 'But times have changed and we now believe this is an important piece of the Stonehenge story and must be told'

Interestingly enough the race who constructed and presumably worshipped at Stonehenge were supplanted by a new group of Stone Age people, from whom the overwhelming majority of British people are ultimately descended.
It therefore has little cultural significance to us and can be safely discarded as someone else’s eyesore,
