What did you all think of Time Flyers. I though it was quite good, pity they didn't mention its plight regarding the quarrying. There could have been some good publicity there.

Yes - I thought it was most interesting and the real value is that most of us never get the chance to see things from the sky. I too was surprised that no mention was made of the threats and on going campaign. Also surprised at the comparison with Orion's belt. The three henges have the same plan then as the great pyramids of Giza - bit Hancockian isn't it? Perhaps that's why the connection wasn't made. Not sure why programmes like this get knocked by archaeo-snobs. We need public interest for public support and public funding.

About the Orion's belt thing. It wasn't a 3 star alignment really, as any 2 henges placed anywhere perfectly equate with the positions of any two stars with infinite accuracy, so the first two effectively come "for free" so we're only talking about the third one being significant.
Does anyone know how accurate it was? It looked pretty good, but if it was deliberate you've got to wonder how the heck they measured it ???
