The British Parliament referred to Stonehenge as a "disgrace" due to concerns over its preservation and the impact of tourism and commercialization on this ancient site. During debates, members expressed frustration over inadequate funding and protection measures, which threatened the integrity and historical significance of Stonehenge. The situation was seen as a failure to honor and safeguard a key cultural heritage landmark.
Both Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower are primarily considered architecture rather than sculpture. Architecture involves the design and construction of buildings or structures that serve a functional purpose, whereas sculpture is typically created as a standalone art form for aesthetic expression.
