Silbury Hill

Save Silbury!

Hi Four Winds
Yes, shameful thing to admit, especially after so many postings on TMA.

And yes again, seeing the stones up close has indeed changed my ideas, I am now more than ever convinced of the futility of any method of stone moving that does not involve the use of levers.

Why-o-why do the archeos continue to tell the public, and more importantly children that such stones must have been dragged about, when they must know in their hearts such feats are impossible. Why can't they admit that they just don't know, and leave it at that!!!

Standing by the stone that shields the entrance to the West Kennet long barrow, legs still aching from the climb up the hill, only a fool would believe that the stone had been dragged there.

All the best Gordon
