you should have given me a call when you were here! I was out looking at it from the nearest view points.
Silbaby is in a very hidden position and only really best seen from EKLB or WKLB.
As to its shape well we have to clear the rubbish off first to see how many sides it has.
The Egyptian connection is a bit too whacky and new age for me to run with.
Me thinks we had better get back to the Silbury problem as the demo is almost upon us.

"Me thinks we had better get back to the Silbury problem as the demo is almost upon us."

True. And although these speculations about similarities with other mounds are interesting, I don't think we should let them divert from the reality that Silbury is a totally unique superstar in terms of sheer size and construction, or from the fact that it's without predecessors, parallels or successors!

But then, I'm a bit biassed!
