The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.
Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.
Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.
Paint and ‘being outside’ are two very different things.
You slow or something?
Are you? Something just left outside for a long ass time will take more damage than even a spray of lead paint can do. And this is just corn starch, not even paint.

So the archeologists are worried but not you, since you, being the goddamn genius you are, are sure it’s all fine.
I don’t even know why I start these arguments with the all-knowing wizards on Lemmy.
How about check the source of the quotes: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw44mdee0zzo
The reporter first on the scene was concerned. The archaeologist was worried about the lichen growing on the stones, not the stones.
Just stop, for once in your life, admit that you don’t know what you’re talking about, just this instance.
The quote is not in the link you provided. Where did you get that quote?
Yes, it is, I just double-checked
Full context:
That doesn’t say they think there is damage, just that they haven’t been able to assess it yet.
So? I never said it’s permanently damaged (sure fucking hope not) I said the archeologists where worried it had been.
Nothing there indicates that the archeologists are actually worried, just that they haven’t assessed it yet.
He says that the paintings are sensitive to damage, it’s in the quote, now stop wasting my time.
