Valiant Historic Events presents
Stonehenge, Then and Now
The Exhibit

"Stonehenge...Then and Now" involves one full sculpture of the ancient mystery in time-worn ruins as it is now, and a second sculpture as Stonehenge was in its heyday 4000 years ago, freshly cut, unweathered, and complete.
The carefully researched and accurate sculpture is available for exhibition in both public and private venues.  The display is an impressive 20 feet across, made up of a sizable scale model of each Stonehenge period.  We include a visual timeline, explaining the conception, building, and purpose of Stonehenge, so guests may understand what they're seeing.
Before Moses led the Hebrew from Egypt, and before the Pyramids were built, the ancient wonder of Stonehenge was raised on Salisbury Plain in England.  The accurately laid-out circular megalith is made up of over 70 enormous "sarsen" stones, 20 to 40 tons each, seabottom sandstone harder than granite, and more than 80 "bluestones" of spotted dolerite transported from Wales.  Its determined and ingenius prehistoric architects managed to raise, cut, skillfully shape, transport, and raise the outer ring and the inner trilithons so accurately that the ring's lintels stand 16 feet above the ground, level to within an inch even though set on uneven ground.
The Great Trilithon once stood over 24 feet above the ground, and seems to align with the winder solstice.  Other alignments suggest attention to the midsummer sunrise, and both sun and mood activity at other times of the year.
This elegant megalithic triumph has stood, from its earliest se, for over 4000 years.  In the condition we recognize it was in continual use for over 1500 years, longer than any single manmade temple or device in history.  Many stones are no fallen or lying underground.  Many others are missing.  How were such enormous monoliths moved to Salisbury Plain, and how were they taken away?
Some clues:  none of this was done by Saxons, Danes, Celts, Romans, Druids, Merlin, or aliens.  Then who?  How?  And most delectible of all--why?

"Stonehenge...Then and Now" can be set up, indoors or outdoors (under a tent).  Locations such as lobbies, receptions, events, weddings, parties, or special presentations.  We do all the transporting, set-up, and strike.  All you need to provide is floor-space.
The exhibit can be enhanced by special recorded music, live pipers, Celtic backdrops, banquet table centerpieces, and even a small gift shop.  The sculptor, a noted author and historian, is available for brief entertaining seminars called "Tour of Stonehenge", discussing the sheer human skill and intellect that gave us this grand monument during a time when there neither written words nor sophisticated stone masonry tools were available.
There is an exhibition fee, which varies depending upon the duration of the exhibit.  "Stonehenge...Then and Now" is available on a long term basis, with certain maintenance and security stipulations.

Be the first to offer this remarkable exhibit to your guests, friends, and customers.  But warn them--
Leave your millennium at the door!
