I think that just because some archaeologist says it might have been spiritual doesn't give it legitimacy. Many people have thought this in the past and been rounded on by various people in many places. Or may be it tells us that archaeologists might be a bit slower than others. I can't say. But we must be cautious in accepting something because one group says it is correct. The spirituality of the people who built these monuments is, after all, unknown. Speculative remarks such as that should at least be admitted as such.
