Having visited the "other" Blenheim Palace, home of the Dukes of Marlborough (Winston Churchill's family) in England, if this is one tenth as impressive, it should be an awesome discovery.

AWWWWKKKK! What a great find. What great things we should learn from it.
I can't even contemplate the loss of the library at Alexandria.
