@hanszauner.ecoevo.social.ap.brid.gy"When #Ylvis put out this song, it was the exact year when our modern civilization peaked and all we can do now is look back."
(a random comment on Youtube. I tend to agree though 😅 ).
@frannabel2010.bsky.social#OTD in 1915 #stonehenge was sold at auction to Cecil Chubb, as a present for his wife. 2 years earlier, John J.Astor negotiated with owner, E. Antrobus to buy it with the intention of presenting it to the #BritishMuseum through C.Hercules Read. Chubb ended up presenting it to the nation. #archives
@dizgraceland.bsky.socialOn this day in 1915, Cecil Chubb bought Stonehenge for £6,600 and eventually donated it to the British nation. #Stonehenge
Even Cecil didn't know what Stonehenge was built for. #DizgracelandDizigns #NetArt #GraphicTees

Finally made it to #Stonehenge so I can cross it off my bucket list. The light was less than optimal and this is an iPhone picture, so I’ll wait to see how the ones from the “real” camera work out.
