How Much Is Stonehenge Worth?

It's not for sale but if it were, England's famous Stonehenge is estimated to cost any potential buyer around £51 million. That number comes from a survey by property website FindaProperty.com that took a survey of 500 estate agents. They evaluated other properties including 10 Downing Street ( £5.2 million) and Windsor Castle (£390.9 million). The Telegraph quotes Nigel Lewis, a property analyst at FindaProperty.com who said that based on these valuations the government and Crown probably own enough land and property to pay down the national debt pretty significantly. The Independent challenges the math a little on Stonehenge questioning whether or not a greater sum could be raised by selling each of the Neolithic monument's megaliths separately to interested collectors. Happily this monument is protected and will remain intact and unsold for generations to come.

This has to be the stupidest question I have ever seen, posed to garner attention by the asker. Nothing like Stonehenge or anything similar must ever be sold, lest we never find out our REAL distant past.
