That's the thing people note destruction on here and/or report it to archaeologist's but nothing hardly ever happens...


I’ll tell you something, for those that have crawled inside Silbury or clambered up it -

Out flew the web and floated wide-
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried The Lady [from the top ;-)]...


And the curse? Silbury from the top is a dreary disappointment (ask anyone who’s done it).

So, to those who would climb the monument – don’t. It’s a beautiful mysterious wonder from countless different angles and in countless different lights – explore those, not the conquering mind-set of the mountaineer.

Like Fuji, Sagarmatha and Uluru, Silbury’s sacredness sits upon it from a distance. To climb it is to rape both it, and yourself, of that mystery.

Don’t do it.
