A Stone-Age Upgrade
-
This is pretty cool. The image above shows an upgrade of Stonehenge. 🙂
Actually it's Stonehenge Aotearoa, an observatory in New Zealand that was inspired by the original in England and used to help teach about ancient astronomy, navigation, etc. It's an upgrade in that it's supposed to show how the original might have actually looked and worked in ancient times. And it will be patched and maintained, something that's minimally done to the original to preserve it's integrity. You can see the original below.
Having grown up in the age of calculators, computers, and various other devices used to decipher the world around me and calculate various things such as time, position, etc., I'm always stunned by the engineering and mathematical feats of our ancestors. I've been to the original Stonehenge and I couldn't imagine being intelligent to devise any sort of calculation from it.

Do a search for Coral Castle in Florida. The information is amazing and apparently the site is more so. Haven't been yet but hope to soon.

Haha, that reminds me of some Hägar the horrible comic where they stand in front of Stonehenge and someone says: "Should have been a shopping mall, but it never got finished."

From the title of the topic, I thought you were going to be talking about trying to revive a 4.x db up to 2000...

The upgraded stonehenge looks like it was made by machines, not by people. I find it rather dead and cold.

Give it a few thousand years. That'll take off the rough edges
