FAKEHENGE : Did you know Stonehenge Is A Fake

1. 
   Stonehenge, located in Wiltshire, England, is one of those unusual places on Earth that has always been shrouded in mystery. There are a lot of theories about its objectives, its real shape, the real date of building and so many other related questions.
   The following photos were posted on a Russian website, showing “how the famous Stonehenge was constructed.” The Russian writer had supposedly detailed information indicating that the British government/military built Stonehenge.
   The first photo below is believed to have been taken during an excavation, which occurred back in 1919 and 1920 by William Hawley. Additional restoration and excavation was headed by Sir Frank Baines.

   These pics are going around. Can someone explain why this stone looks fake? there's a few pics of the prez walking by this stone and it doesnt look natural? It looks like a layer of plaster. There's also this whole notion the the stonehenge was built in the 50s and there's some pretty compelling photographs. I'd like your opinions please, thank you. Max

   Stonehenge was restored between 1920 and the 1950s. Several of the stones were previously laying down. Some were restored to upright, and some were reinforced with concrete.
   
   
   Here's a stylized look at what it looked like in the 1700s:

   Compare that with the modern Stonehenge (Using Google Earth to match the viewpoint, so the shapes of the stones are not perfect)
   
   
   This pre-restoration photo shows that particular rock before the concrete was added to stabilize it. This is from around 1877
   
   
   
   
   

   

   Concrete was added in 1959:And you can see why:
