"All archaeology in the construction zones would be destroyed and the A303 would become the largest ever human intervention in an area fashioned and revered by over a hundred generations of our ancestors."
Almost all areas in Britain have been fashioned, to some extent or other, by over a hundred generations.
Other than to a minority of people in recent generations, the 'reverence' angle is not known to be true: Starting about four centuries back, wealthy people took an interest in this particular monument's purpose. This past-time became very popular.
No significant discoveries have been made about this 'start-up' monument's purpose and many professional archaeologists have gone into print declaring that no discovery of this type is likely. So the claim that there is anything left worth protecting appears to be dismissed by the experts.
There may be a few problems with the key selling points of this petition.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
