at avebury at dawn A portsmouth pub landlord inspired me with the idea that overton and sanctury connected to avebury via the avenues which were fallopian tubes forming the shape of female sexual organs. im assuming that the main entrance for all stones into the henge was the eastern entrance of the henge which would have been the vagina. This idea came to the publican after looking at stukelys famous serpent, im convinced that stukelys concept was coloured by christian fear of the stones he may have been deliberately concealing the real symbolism of the complex. He was also issac newtons biographer and wore a big silly wig(i apologise if my half asleep musing has already been written about and extensively dismissed as rubbish by any other famous academic big-wigs.)

In case you're wondering why no-one's responded to this, it's because we've had many discussions on the board about such subjects.

An eminent archaeologist recently published scholarly articles about the design of stonehenge being based on female genitals see http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20030224/stonehenge.html

and frankly, speaking for myself here, what a pile of sheer nonsensical horse manure! The man's clearly inhabiting some freaky vaginal fantasyland. If he actually cared to make love to his wife, I'm sure he'd realise what bollocks he'd been talking.

So when you say....
"the idea that overton and sanctury connected to avebury via the avenues which were fallopian tubes forming the shape of female sexual organs. im assuming that the main entrance for all stones into the henge was the eastern entrance of the henge which would have been the vagina."

...I also blow a great big wet raspberry. I'm sure if I looked at a road atlas long enough, I would see patterns in the roads that reminded me of the human circulatory system- doesn't mean to say that it's deliberate.

No disrespect intended, Olly. I'm just a cynic.

but serpents aren't exactly what you'd choose to allay Christian fears.

Anyway, lay off him about not saving the stones. Considering the times, merely expressing regret was blue sky thinking.
