The ancients planned it so that the approach across the plain to the monument revealed it slowly as an awesome distant presence.

Sunset/moonset at Stonehenge, July 8, 2004: via @ST0NEHENGE at the Once And Former Bird pkace. (Photographer: Nick Bull)
In the time that I’ve been around the Stonehenge scene Nick Bull of Stonehenge Dronescapes has become the premier photographer of the place in its many moods and lights and weathers. Time and again he takes amazing portraits. He must know all the perfect places in the landscape to shoot it from at different times of year and in different light.
When I started out it was Pete Glastonbury who did this both here and at Avebury, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow but alas his health failed to the point where he could no longer go. He often reposts Nick Bull’s photos. I think no one gets what Bull is doing more than he does.
(Pete’s photography was a huge inspiration as the geopsych blog grew, not only for how he would go out in every time of day and year and in every weather but for his sheer love of the places he photographed and of the land itself. He graciously met with me when I finally got to go over and walked with me around the places he loves so well.)

Can you tell us your favourite fact about Stonehenge, please?
Thanks for your question. I answered this one before. It has to do with the outer lintel circle. You can see it at this link: https://www.tumblr.com/ohnonotstonehenge/736805182928830464/whats-your-favourite-fact-about-stonehenge
It may be the lintel circle that got it the name Stonehenge as in stone-hang because the circle around the top was so round and so even that it kind of looked like the upright sarsens were hanging from it. But that's just one theory.
The tl;dr on that ridiculously long post from yesterday is that I oppose the building of the Stonehenge tunnel for more than one reason.
Are there any concerns that the construction of the tunnel might damage unfound archeological material in the area that's dug up, or is it unlikely that there is any?
Yes, that is something of a concern. There almost certainly is quite a bit of archaeological material there. The archaeologists who are in favour of the tunnel say it will all be dug up and documented by the recue archaeology people who go in ahead of construction. But as I implied in the much too long post, things happen in these circumstances that can interfere with it being done properly. Deadlines have to be met. Areas can be sampled rather than fully excavated and things could be missed and then buried forever. Important finds can even halt construction so in some cases there's a bias toward not documenting them. That sort of thing. That said, the archaeological teams that do the digging before the construction will in this case be top notch and loss of archaeological material may be less of a concern than you would think. It certainly isn't my main argument against the tunnel.

talk about the road!! it’s a safe space. we just like hearing your thoughts / wisdom.
Oh boy! This will be long. Buckle in, or skip this. That's okay too.
For those who may not know, @sccccccram is referring to controversial plans for a tunnel through the Stonehenge landscape. To be clear the tunnel will not damage Stonehenge or affect the land immediately around it where tourists usually visit. The argument for the tunnel or one of them at least is that the busy road that goes by the site and is visible from the monument would be diverted to the tunnel and would no longer be visible to visitors (eventually, that is, once the construction is finished and the enormous scar heals). Maybe the real reasons some people want the tunnel are that:
1. travelers on the now crowded road that at times barely crawls past Stonehenge would theoretically get where they're going faster once the tunnel is in. And of course some of those people are wealthy donors to the Tory Party who have second (or third or fourth) homes in Cornwall.
and 2. huge amounts of money will be made by the companies that build the tunnel and anyone they're pleased with, like politicians who helped make it happen. In the interest of full disclosure some archaeologists are in favour of the tunnel too. (Including people I respect like Mike Pitts, former editor of British Archaeology Magazine and author of some books on Stonehenge, and Tess Machling, a brilliant thinker and archaeologist, I especially recommend her work on gold torcs!) It isn't clear why in many cases. Some are just tired of people treating Stonehenge as more special than other sites. Some just don't seem to like it that people other than themselves like pagans, partiers, and megalith lovers feel they have an interest in what archaeologists see as a site that is their domain. Some are disdainful about people who call Stonehenge sacred, for example. Other archaeologists and historians, though, oppose the tunnel. Prominent Stonehenge archaeologist and author Michael Parker Pearson is one of them, as is historian and author Tom Holland. A major reason for this is that huge areas of the Stonehenge World Heritage site will be bulldozed and destroyed if it is built. Rescue archaeology would of course be done but that is never ideal and it does sometimes happen that in the interest of speed and economy archaeologists may come under pressure to hurry things along. And no one knows what else may be in the land now. But of course archaeology isn't the only consideration. Other people all over the world love, revere, identify with, and care for Stonehenge. It shows up in many movies, television shows, songs, and stories, and as replicas in theme parks, mini golf corses, planetariums, cemeteries, gardens, and other kinds of sites around the world because it has so much meaning for so many people. Some people see it as a sacred place—the whole World Heritage Site, which includes many burial mounds of different types, an ancient avenue, and a cursus which is a huge earthwork of unknown significance. It is a landscape of prehistory and wonder. Those people genuinely feel that the digging of a tunnel through the chalk that underlies that landscape would be a desecration, even a rape of that sacred landscape. Others, more like myself, may not have a faith that holds the site sacred but we have a more poetic outlook. Walking on that landscape as it is now, even with the A303 full of cars cutting through it, is still dreamy in a way. The land underfoot was certainly important to the ancient people who built and altered Stonehenge and hauled all those heavy stones there. During the digging and building of the tunnel there will be noise, there will be lights, it will be an industrial atmosphere. Certainly tourists who visit the Stonehenge landscape during that will have a disappointing experience. And afterward, what then? The tunnel advocates like to say it will be better once soil is placed on top of the enormous concrete bunker that will be the tunnel. It will be more peaceful they say. But we will always know the tunnel is there, won't we? We won't be walking over the peaceful chalk landscape the ancients revered. We'll be walking over what is basically an industrial site with cars and trucks running beneath our feet. That's a huge qualitative difference to the experience oof anyone who likes to walk and imagine the past. And that's not even mentioning the entrances and exits of the tunnel. It's hard to believe they won't affect things, sounds-wise and lights-wise.
(Tumblr won’t let me post more text but I’m not finished)
Once the tunnel is in, the damage will be done. Yes, as the saying goes, while it's going in it will mean wonderful value for shareholders, but afterwards the land will be damaged forever out of a wrong-minded reverence for the internal combustion engine. There's even a question in porous chalk land of how it will affect nearby springs over time but that's another discussion.
ONESCO, designator of World Heritage Sites, says it will remove the Stonehenge landscape's designation if the tunnel is built even though Stonehenge's absolutely unique form and engineering and its fame throughout the world make it an extremely important site. That should tell you something.
I think, and you wanted to know what I think, didn't you? I think that if the tunnel is built most of the world will see it as just another sign of the long and painful downfall of the once great nation that is the United Kingdom.
I have seen the deep joy and reverence that people have for Stonehenge, seen the pictures and videos of the solstice celebrations and have been present at an equinox celebration. I know people who identify with it closely. If the government ignores all that and considers only science and money in its decision, it is another statement that it cares nothing for the soul of its people. You may keep a rich ruling class that way but you don't get a happy creative people who love their country with all their heart. You don't get a great nation.
So I'm against the tunnel but I won't be surprised if it goes forward. What we need is some of those "fairies" like they have in Iceland to put a stop to it once and for all. And that's my opinion since you asked for it. Good luck!
