Ahh... is it six, I don’t know.

The similarity is interesting though isn’t it. We’ve discussed this before on TMA and, if a point is worth making it’d be the one that says, “Just because we’re talking about a period some 4,000 years ago doesn’t mean that the people of these islands were ‘howling barbarians’ and didn't go anywhere because we know that they did.” Well, we know that there was travel at that period by both individuals and ‘clans’ so the likelihood of one of them seeing either Djoser or Silbury (and telling that tale to their mates) is far from being beyond the realms of possibility. As I’ve said before, Alfred the Great went to Rome twice at least in his lifetime (presumably by boat and on horseback) when quite a few of us haven’t even been there once yet. That should tell us something.

Out of circulation for a while – play nicely :-)
