>As you guys say, it's certainly made some spectacular leaps without any evidence or any real evidence - this just being the latest. This and its habit of only telling 'half a story' both in terms of stuff like not mentioning earlier phases of Stonehenge, and in terms of not fully explaining some bits make it hugely frustrating.<
Well said Moth. Another slightly irritating statement he (Spivey) made was that the Amesbury Archer crossed the Channel in a dug-out canoe or coracle. My maritime knowledge is practically zero but I would have thought that someone as important and as gold-bedecked as our archer (even four and a half thousand years ago) would have had something slightly more impressive than a dug-out canoe!
