Stones fall down, stones get picked up...

I found this interesting: The Rebuilding of Stonehenge. I knew there's been restoration, but I didn't know it had been as extensive as this makes it seem. I suppose it's good for the tourist trade to make it seem as untouched and authentic as possible. On the other hand, I tend to take with a grain of salt any site called "ufos-aliens" and which seems to be about cosmic conspiracies. Not that I don't love X-Files as much as the next fan...
I also, of course, went for a look at Constable's picture.
It made me think of the things Zawi Hawas has done in Egypt. Of the things that need to be done to the Colosseum in Rome. Time takes it toll, of course - and sometimes archeologists move things around, like Schliemann at Troy.
