Oh no no no. When I suggested this exact same idea here a couple years ago, I got jumped all over for being insensitive to the great spiritual significance of the place, or some such.

But Stonehenge II has to be many things, really. Replicas of the henge in all four phases, or however many there are now supposed to be. Demonstrations of stone liftings. Re-enactors living in Neolithic huts, cooking the Neolithic diet, knapping flints, sewing, coiling pots, all that stuff. And then the same for the very early Bronze Age. The Archer walking around with his braids in gold clasps. Farm plots, hoeing with deer antlers.

It would be totally cool and educational, in a way the current experience is definitely not. It would also, you're right, keep most people from ever getting to SH I!
