Stonehenge is being used to generate income ... and judging by the number of visitors on a daily basis that must be a very substantial amount.
All hands to the pumps when it comes to SH...the perfect cash cow. While other just as important sites to other people in other parts of the country are left to return to nature due to 'lack of funding', money is churned back into it to fund even more projects to keep the dream alive. Anything within 5 miles of the feckin place is drawn in and becomes yet another 'little piece of our understanding' of why it is where it is right down to the ancients dining out on frogs legs. It's all utter bolux.The really sad part is that if every single one of those other totally ignored and forgotten about sites was within that 5 mile radius, archaeologists would be crawling all over them like ants with no lack of funding whatsoever!
