It strikes me that the vast majority visiting ancient monuments don't know how to connect to the past, (myself included). As there is no record of the right way to honour the stones, maybe we should invent one.

Couldn't agree more. Personally, I tend to fall back on a sense of wonder and the profound sense of continuity and connection with the past. I can understand why people are inspired to mystify such sites and imbue them with spiritual significance, but I'm too much of a sceptic to wander off down that road.
