I don't think anyone mentioned when it had to be done June as the discussion is centreing on whether it should be done or not. But it would be natural to hope that it would be done in our lifetimes wouldn't it?
Natural, yes, but since the future would do the job better, and retrieve more knowledge, and destroy less, if we're TRULY dedicated to the place we should maybe hold back? I'm not a saint, I'd love to see it as much as you but that thought would probably hold me back. It's why I said one stone, not all. A compromise between us and the future. Which is standard archaeological practice. You only dig up a bit and leave the rest for others.
Hold on a mo. They know where the buried stones are, they will find the stone holes no problem, what future knowledge is required to re-erect them and what will be destroyed?
