A very good intellectual exercise. Many may disagree for various reasons - political, ideological, etc., Though the time calculations is beyond my comprehension mention of many things here are certainly eye openers.
I am in England and here the Govt. as well as the people take pride in their History. They want to project and preserve their past even though it may be quite insignificant. Stonehenge is a nearby place. I visited it and found that it is just positioning of gigantic stones by prehistoric men. It is a great tourist attraction here. It even competed for the Modern 7 wonders of the world status.
I am thinking we have so many pre historic and historic sites which is being desecrated and destroyed not by foreigners but by our own people and Govt.
After coming here I have discovered many Indians have started learning Indian Classical Dances and Sangeethams from Srilankans. Because I am told this is a compulsory subject in schools for these Lankans. Can you think of making this compulsory in Indian Schools?
True the end has come as Swami Vivekanada said as we are disowning our past.

Hey Unni you have shown your intellectual level by writing about StoneHenge, fortunately you had been there, but unfortunately you failed to understand and learn about them. Try to figure out How they are positioned with respect to celestial bodies and seasons. The size is not enough, but what makes them riddle, is there position.

You are showing your intellectual superiority indeed by not knowing the difference between there and their. That may be so but why belittle Unni if he is expressing his opinion?????? BTW it is not 'there' position but 'their' position.
