Talking of American magnates, did you know that William Randolph Hearst shipped out a goodly part of Bradenstoke Abbey, Lyneham, Wilts, stones to build Hearst Castle...he lost interest and all those stones are still in their boxes apparently.

Well, that's a thread diversion.

The pillaging of other cultures antiquities is hardly an American invention, by the way. I've been to the British Royal Museum.

Can't argue with that, good thing that prehistoric stones are to heavy to export....

Did look at the video on the castle and the 'new source of energy' electro magnetic, which he might have moved the blocks of coral with - not sure its the answer to future energy shortage though..
