Geee Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Washington Times: STONEHENGE, England (AP) — It has been standing for thousands of years, so Britain’s ancient Stonehenge monument was due a makeover. New visitor facilities and landscaping are designed to “restore the dignity” of the mysterious stone circle, and transform the way more than 1 million visitors a year see it. The 27 million pound ($44 million) renovation which was previewed Tuesday includes a new building 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the stones where visitors can watch an exhibition about Neolithic life. They can then walk to Stonehenge down an ancient processional walkway, or take a shuttle bus. The new facilities open to the public Wednesday. In June, a section of busy highway that has run for decades beside the stones, 80 miles (130 kilometers) southwest of London, will be closed for good.

Valin Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You volunteering?? No..but there are a number of people I could recommend. What gets me is these neo-pagans who worship there always assume the old religions were oh so peaceful and tolerant of others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
