Revenge of Stonehenge – Kansas
Who knows why or how our minds wander. Sometimes it just makes connections that make you chuckle. This post relates one such experience that occurred during a road trip.
You never know what wonders you will find as you travel. Driving through northeast Wichita on my way to points north, I noticed an amazing structure… “Look! Stonehenge – Kansas.”
Kansas Stonehenge vs. England Stonehenge
Surely not. We know that Stonehenge is in England. But take a look at this photo, and tell me it is NOT Stonehenge!

Kansas Stonehenge and Pyramid
As if Stonehenge were not enough, a pyramid! In this photo, you can see the Pyramid as well. If you can’t spot it, check out the next photo, with markup.

Now here’s the REAL Stonehenge (Photo courtesy of a Tumbleweed friend who took this photo in England, and prefers to remain nameless).

The similarities are remarkable! In a side-by-side comparison, Three Tumbleweeds unanimously agreed, the ten hour flight across the pond may not be necessary, when a home grown Stonehenge is right here in the Southern Plains.
Here’s a closeup of the Real Stonehenge so you can decide for yourself.

Parting Thoughts
The Kansas Stonehenge made for some lively conversation and amusement. We think it’s pretty cool, which just goes to show you can find something interesting to see almost anywhere you go. A national landmark, coming soon… you heard it here first.
Check out the featured image at the top of this post. It’s “Cardiff Stonehenge,” another Stonehenge trying to pretend it’s a tad more ancient than it is.
