Plymouth rock has never been moved. How could you even move such a rock? Only the ancient Egyptians could manage it.

and even then only with the help of aliens
Because there's no way brown people could ever build megastructures
Sorry for the ancient meme but
Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that. You can't explain why the tide goes in.
Did they drop it and glue it or why does it have that fracture line?
Yes. They tried to move it in 1774 and broke it. Also the meme is total bullshit, it's been moved a lot.
In 1774, the rock broke in half during an attempt to haul it to Town Square in Plymouth. One portion remained in Town Square and was moved to Pilgrim Hall Museum in 1834. It was rejoined with the other portion of the rock, which was still at its original site on the shore of Plymouth Harbor, in 1880. The date 1620 was inscribed at that time. The rock is now ensconced beneath a granite canopy. However, Plymouth Rock has been moved multiple times since 1620
I'm like 99% sure that it isn't actually even the real Plymouth rock and that some dumbass in 1880 was like "yep this broken rock right here?? Plymouth rock" and decided to chisel 1620 into it.
how do I know this? gut feeling of an american and the fact that all of our national history is basically apocryphal, something something spongebob
I still say that Plymouth rock has a stealable size and I bet at least one native tribe can afford the necessary truck
Is the rock in jail???
When I was a kid, those bars used to be spaced further apart, and a regularly-sized kid could walk between them and chip a piece off.
Also, Plymouth has almost exclusively sandy beaches. There would be absolutely no reason to land on a fucking rock.
