granite clad circular columns running down both sides of the nave and an interior that also ate sound. I was surprised as I had read all the hoopla of Stonehenge's final solution as an acoustical miracle, built to amplify and energize sound so that it could be used as a giant amplifier, to enhance the sounds of drums and speed the participants of Neolithic ceremonies into an altered state of being. I conducted several impromptu experiments with the aid of my wife, who grumbled about the need to get back on the road so we could get to our motel and have a cold beer after a long day of exhausting tourism. I asked her to stand at the center of the replica, approximately as shown on the plan above while I moved around the interior, clapping and whistling as shrilly as possible. She heard my noises throughout but said her impression was that these loud and obnoxious sounds (Fortunately, the other visitors had left by this time) were not enhanced in any significant way no matter where I stood. I also tried whispering though she did not hear any of my whispers no matter where I stood. All these are merely observations with no science behind them, but they lead me to the inevitable conclusion that there might not be much science behind the acoustical Stonehenge model as an explanation of why the monument was built. I can't see the thousands of man hours of labor involved in moving,
