I always say if I could go back in time to anywhere I always say to see the dinosaurs. Though I would like to see them building the pyramids and also to see them building Stonehenge.
At least these guys only broke Balsawood Henge… maybe because they couldn’t afford to visit the real thing.
My friend in England tells me that at the real Stonehenge, you can no longer touch the actual stones except at authorised Summer or Winter solstice gatherings…
and it costs about £20 to buy the necessary timed entry pass.
But before that, tourists were breaking and defacing the monument.
The fee helps pay for upkeep and discourages random visitation and vandalism.
On Rapa Nui (Easter Island), pretty much in the middle of nowhere, over a thousand miles from anywhere else inhabited, and expensive to reach, you would think things would be safe, in spite of tourism.
But sadly, a few days ago, a truck driven by a Chilean local managed to crash into one of the famous, and religiously significant, ancient stone heads…
most of which have buried torsos…. and smash it irreparably.
There is a fee for visiting those, too…. but apparently public roads run too close to some of them.
