I attended a few “pagan Druid” circles in Venice Beach. They are seriously no more impressive than your average Star Wars convention or Renaissance Fair.
I visited Stonehenge back in 2006. It was one of the stops we made while on a 3-week bus tour of the British Isles. My first impression was that it was much smaller than I had expected. We also had to stay behind the rope line and follow the paved walk that went around it. Didn’t notice any hippies while there. I think they only show up in droves during the Solstice celebrations.
The last time I had the opportunity to go, the area was blocked from tourists due to hoof & mouth ( or foot in mouth, I dunno) disease. I haven’t had a chance to go back since. As someone else said...I want to see these places before they are destroyed.
I hope you get to go back, and soon. I’m glad I went when I did, and while I had the money to do it. I got to see a lot during my two trips to England, but there’s plenty more I’d love to see. However, lack of funds, and physical ailments will keep me from ever traveling overseas again.
Don’t forget the standing stones of Callanish (located on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland)!

Durrington Walls Dragon's Teeth Wednesday, 10 September 2014
Among the surprises yielded by the research are traces of up to 60 huge stones or pillars which formed part of the 1.5km-wide "super henge" previously identified at nearby Durrington Walls.
His conclusions are his own. The image is just to show what has been known to be there for some time.
I wish I could trace my history back that far. Only can get as far as the Civil War.
My grandfather has been to Stonehenge. He was always fascinated by it. Was from Scotland. The one thing I remember him saying about it is that it is very windy there. I guess if you do go keep that small fact in mind.

If you take the creationist view (which is mine), then there was no millions of years ago
If you take the evolutionary view, then modern days humans evolved about 200,000 years ago -- not millions
even if you mean to say that thousands of years ago -- and before the ice (the latest glacial period was from 110,000 to 15,000 years ago), that's not possible -- if there was an advanced civilisation, then we would have found more artifacts and more evidence of minerals being dug up -- but we don't.
“civilisation remnants under the oceans in Japan, the Caribbean”? What are you talking about?
I see what you did there.
I visited Stonehenge about 10 years ago.
Not a single dirty hippie to be found. Lots of nice, polite English ... a few tourists from the continent (I heard a family speaking German) ... and at least one "Yank".
Also jets landing at Boscombe Down.
Probably talking about Yonaguni, off the coast of Japan and Bimini, maybe. Many people just view these sites as natural geological formations, not man-made.
:-)
The only time I came near it was driving along after midnight on that A303 in the late 60’s going to Cornwall.
No fences back then and it could be easily seen from the road.
It was way to creepy to stop and go for a visit...:^)
