I answered that hours ago: "I don't know".

http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=68276&message=867906

I'm not trying to provide the answers, because I don't have them. That's not avoiding the question, it's saying I don't know the answer.

I'm just pointing out that there are other, simpler explanations, which no-one seems prepared to consider as a possibility at all. Everyone (well, not everyone, just a few people) seems fixated with the idea that it must have been rebuilt as otherwise it's not 'correct'.

I don't think I have anything else to contribute to this thread. It's all purely speculative and only one alternative is being allowed.

You did i can see it now, i'd asked it that many times i lost track of that one, hey maybe a farmer wrecked it at the beginning of heavy farming machinery and put it back up the best he could before people realized.

I don't think that's the case mate, it's just there's another theory being offered and i for one find it very interesting and worthy of discussion. I haven't read the book as i've said so i can't pin my flag to the mast on the whole thing but what i have seen i don't think should be dismissed offhand, if we all immediately label it as silly because it at first appears quite radical we may well miss something important.
