What is virtually unique about Stonehenge is that - nobody knows why it was built, how or by whom?
Indeed - even the stone is not of local origin - and experts can only guess where it came from.
Or how it was transported and erected.

I've been in a lot of places - mainly Europe - but not nearly as many as JK and others.
Of them all, I thought New York, New York was the best by far. Fast moving, so much to see and great value - except accommodation which is expensive.
Major improvements in the past 20 years - and it's only about 11 miles x 3! You could almost walk around it!
Very safe - policemen on the pavement, horses and motorbikes everywhere. Well armed with tazers, guns and all types of gadgets.

For example - the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue - one of the largest museums on earth.
Almost one million visitors a month, with over 2 million exhibits. Including real pyramids transported from Egypt.
Every exhibit has a number - and, after keying in the number into the keypad of your hired electronic divice - you will be told what you're looking at.
Byzantine art, Chinese poems, Islamic art, Inca statues, Palestinian crockery, Egyptian mummies or a Spanish frigate.
Fascinating and, in itself, one of the wonders of the world....
