Most of the one million visitors who visit Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain every year believe they are looking at untouched 4,000-year-old remains. But virtually every stone was re-erected, straightened or embedded in concrete between 1901 and 1964, says a British doctoral student.
These photos may be good evidence of realignment and alteration since the big sarsen falls in the eighteenth century.
Hmm, I seem to remember when I last visited Stonehenge that they said right up front that the stones had been screwed with in the early 20th century. Maybe not, I could have seen that elsewhere. It's been probably 20 years since I've been there.
What a difference between the set of photos! The dignified, prim, well-dressed families in the early days, and the more recent photos they showed at the bottom of the piece.
