My problem is this: the only remarkable thing about Stonehenge is that its really old. Some people made it a billion years ago with primitive tools and it stood up all by itself for a long time. Then it started falling down. Oh well shit happens.
So they restore it? Multiple times? They "fix" it and pour fucking concrete on it? How is that still Stonehenge? How is that still impressive? Any idiot today could make a Stonehenge with some rocks and a backhoe.
What we see today is not Stonehenge. It's a fucking McDonald's. Face the facts. It isn't real.

If the Egyptian government got some plaster and remade the Sphinx's nose, you'd be like "wow this is so awe inspiring and powerful. This is just like if it had been there for thousands of years."
hey look guys i built Stonehenge. it's literally the same thing.
You live in a simulated reality! Wake up, sheeple!

I see where you’re coming from and I kinda agree.

We drove 22 miles into the country around Farmington. There were meadows and apple orchards. White fences trailed through the rolling fields. Soon the sign started appearing. THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED BARN IN AMERICA. We counted five signs before we reached the site. There were 40 cars and a tour bus in the makeshift lot. We walked along a cowpath to the slightly elevated spot set aside for viewing and photographing. All the people had cameras; some had tripods, telephoto lenses, filter kits. A man in a booth sold postcards and slides -- pictures of the barn taken from the elevated spot. We stood near a grove of trees and watched the photographers. Murray maintained a prolonged silence, occasionally scrawling some notes in a little book.
"No one sees the barn," he said finally.
A long silence followed.
"Once you've seen the signs about the barn, it becomes impossible to see the barn."
He fell silent once more. People with cameras left the elevated site, replaced by others.
We're not here to capture an image, we're here to maintain one. Every photograph reinforces the aura. Can you feel it, Jack? An accumulation of nameless energies."
There was an extended silence. The man in the booth sold postcards and slides.
"Being here is a kind of spiritual surrender. We see only what the others see. The thousands who were here in the past, those who will come in the future. We've agreed to be part of a collective perception. It literally colors our vision. A religious experience in a way, like all tourism."
Another silence ensued.
"They are taking pictures of taking pictures," he said.

Today, at any random art museum or natural science museum there will be a man, we'll affectionately call him Burt, yelling at people around him that the restored paintings aren't real. That the dinosaurs are fake, and that shit, still to this day as it was in the olden times, happens.
