Stonehenge is one of the top most valuable UNESCO WH sites in the world. International organisations such as UNESCO itself and its advisory body ICOMOS have strongly advised against the current schemes. It would damage the site beyond repair. Many aspects of the site in its wider landscape are still unknown to us. Building a short tunnel would damage the landscape irrevocably. The A303 highway is now part of the landscape and should be kept as it is according to international heritage charters such as the ICOMOS Venice Charter. For the future of humanity and out of respect of what our ancestors offer us as a relic of their knowledge any damage to the site, and especially building a damaging tunnel, should be stopped.
