Adding that quite all Christian churches were build over older ritual sites, like for Mexico cathedral. Brussels Ste Gudule, or many other churches, probably even the Mont St Michel.
Steve replies:
Coincidentally, it was in the lower, archeological section under the nave of St. Gudule, Brussels on the last Saturday of November 1999 that I first thought of the notion that recently led me to write, "What I find interesting though, is that at least the sites and the days remain special. Kind of makes you wonder if the specialness is there regardless of what 'cloak' presently dresses it."
Could it be that my thinking was somehow enhanced the night before while having dinner at the top of the Atomium? Could it be that the Atomium is the most oversized reenactment presently on this planet?

The Atomium reenacts the structure of a specific atom, I think iron.
[I should have erased the following:]
Isn't the fact that the Atomium was to be demolished soon after its construction an example of what is now the Atomium's virtual history?
Perhaps there is often too much emphasis on a (real) thing's virtual history than on its real history.
And isn't it ironic how dislike or mistrust of the virtual is often focused on the virtual's not being real (enough)?]
