Stonehenge took approximately 1500 years to complete using stones weighing as much as 50 tons. An estimated 800-1000 men transferred (dragged) the stones from Marlborough Downs, 20 miles north. Speculation and theory for it's creation include that it might have been used as a temple, an observatory or a tomb.
Foamhenge is a full-scale replica of the mystical Stonehenge of England. Foamhenge was created in six weeks by five Mexicans and one crazy white guy/artist using beaded Styrofoam blocks weighing as much as 420 pounds. The blocks were delivered by tractor trailer in four trips from Winchester, VA 100 miles to the north. It's purpose is to educate and entertain.
