Tricone RC Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingformung Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlisuite Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 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.

marf Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited April 12, 2019 by marf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drome Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
