Modern Stone Circle in Alabama. The idea for Bamahenge came from George Barber, an Alabama billionaire. Barber had some dinosaurs made by Mark Cline on one of his properties, and while Mark was repairing hurricane damage to the creatures in 2006, Barber "took me aside," Mark recalled, "and whispered in my ear, 'Stonehenge'."

"No Druid has ever worked this fast on a 'henge," said Mark, who erected the entire monument - after siting it to be in line with the June 21 solstice - in only four days. Mark saved time by designing only four "block" shapes, which could then be flipped over and turned around to make each look different. He completed it just in time for the winter solstice, 2012.

How Stonehenge Replicas Became The World’s First Meme by Andy B on Wednesday, 21 February 2018
(User Info | Send a Message)
Nancy Wisser is interviewed for this article about replicas of Stonehenge in Good Magazine. Article by by Jed Oelbaum

Rise Of The Clonehenge

Clonehenges come in many forms. They are popular attractions like Foamhenge or Carhenge, as well as war memorials like Maryhill Stonehenge, which is solemnly perched above a breathtaking stretch of the Columbia River in Washington state. There are Stonehenge-shaped astronomical observatories at universities, personal Stonehenge passion projects in backyards, and Stonehenges for reflective meditation in gardens and cemeteries.

It’s hard to tell exactly how many henges are out there in total, but a rough worldwide estimate is about 90 big, permanent henges; many more mid-size Stonehenges; and thousands of temporary mini-henges, goofy “food henges,” and Stonehenge dioramas.

This spate of Stonehenges can’t just be explained away as the work of history buffs with too much time on their hands — each is also a monument to its builder’s personal obsessions and a hard-to-describe compulsion to recreate one of the world’s most mysterious sites. Nancy Wisser, who has cataloged the ever-expanding world of megalithic knockoffs for a decade on her blog Clonehenge, calls the circle of stones a “self-replicating image” and “the world’s first meme,” pointing to centuries of copies.

“I joke that Stonehenge somehow reproduces itself through the human mind,” she says, laughing. “People see it or they see pictures of it. They don’t even have to even go there, really. And then they think, ‘I want to build a Stonehenge.’”
