We must protect Stonehenge from the Eurocrats. Knowing them they'd want to put the stones in a straight line with even metric spacing or something *tuts*

Ooof, as if Scottish independence would be one bit less complicated than the Brexit chaos we have right now. But would definitely be interesting to know what would happen

Do people in Europe realize that most of the ancient structures around them have been rebuilt? Due to bombings, Dissolution, revolts, raiding, decay. What you are seeing is not really real. About as real as any fake castle in Disney world. I have this thing for true extant structures from the ancient world, and sadly there aren't many. 

what is your point really? that the roman colosseum and the pallatine hill, the acropolis in athens, the ruins of pompeii, delphi, etc have been rebuilt? you surely mean excavated and preserved. the ruins are real, but if you believe someone made those ruins out of plaster to make them look like 2000+ year old ruins you are quite mistaken.

or if you believe that ancient cities should still stand intact after 2000+ years of every human and natural force imaginable, you're quite delusional.

I don't have have a point. Im just upset about it. You mention a few structures, but they are the exception. I like ruins. Im sad it's been ruined. At least it's real. But I come across more structures that have been reconstructed in the 19th century than anything, and a pang of disappoint comes over me. I wish more than anything I could time travel. The point I guess is the folly of man. We never appreciate we are living in history.  But something like Aula Palatina in Trier, That is a wonderful thing. Brugge, a wonderful thing. 

are you on acid?

Brexit needs more psychedelic-infused irreversible neural damage

Time to crack open some Kevin Ayers

I don’t get the confusion. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t marf saying that many historic monuments have been reconstructed and aren’t necessarily faithful to the originals? This is definitely the case with Stonehenge. Are you lot being obtuse or what?

I'm not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand tho...

fucking immigrants coming over here, refurbishing our stonehenge

bloody bastards

my Ma said it could look better with some fitted curtains, but possibly an Irish itinerant plot hawking for shoddy, half-finished work it seems

Wasnt it those russian tourists coming for ancient architecture before they decided to poison some former soviets? Perhaps they blamed them for ruining those ancient relics. I think i'm onto to something. My tinfoil cap says so, anyways.

Mainstream media for the win!!!

Much victory for the gullible

MP's are off for approx 3&half months between now & Samhain, ideal for sledges who couldn't conjure a consensus even by channeling the deceased spirit of Paul Daniels

as if setting dates around equinox & the heebie jeebies wasn't Icke-ian political witch-craft enough
