Apparently, Texas isn't satisfied with just one of anything. Just recently, Texas Twisted reported on the existence of two distinct Alamo recreations, both about 2 hours from the original. And now, it looks like the Lone Star State will have two Stonehenges, as well.

This time, thankfully, they've decided to spread them out a little.

On Thursday, the University of Texas System Board of Regents approved plans for a replica of England's famous monument, to be built in Odessa. Surveyors were expected to begin laying out a site for construction the very next day. It will most likely stand near the art building at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin.

The new Stonehenge joins Al Shepperd and Doug Hill's Stonehenge II, with which Texas Twisted fans are readily familiar. Stonehenge II — or S2 as we'll call it for that Hollywood appeal — sits quietly in Hunt, 300 miles away.

Though both are modeled after the same structure, they will have significant differences. While S2 is made of wire mesh and plaster, UTPB's recreation will be assembled from giant limestone slabs. And where S2 is only 60% as wide as the original, UTPB's version will be the full diameter.

Due to limitations in the size of the slabs being donated for the project, however, S2 will still trump the university's Stonehenge in height, 90% to 70%.

Additionally, the new Stonehenge will be built astronomically correct, aligned in equivalence to the original, which served as a calendar. Educators see benefits for students of math, science, history and architecture, as well as art and culture.

The structure, which has yet to be given a catchy name, is expected to be complete in about 6 weeks.
