It's funny isn't it, since the Avebury Pigpen theory was launched (on this very organ) the archaeologists have talked of little else but pigs. I guess they don't like to admit they get a lot of their best ideas from reading TMA but they obviously do. Look how "Silbury Time Capsule - good" turned into "Silbury Time Capsule - not good" But where's the acknowledgement, eh?
Aye, porkie pens were being discussed here some three and a half years ago. Just goes to show that TMA is streets ahead of the 'establishment' - not only in originality of thought but also in artistic output, the discovery of new sites, not to mention keeping an eye on those institutions and individuals who, through sheer ignorance or self-aggrandisement, think up or support daft ideas like a time capsule in Silbury ;-)As for porkie pens in pre-history - you just about summed it up in your limerick :-)
All things porcine
Said the megarak, “I think I’ve worked out
What A’bry was really about;
All things porcine
Inspired the design
‘Twas built as a pigpen no doubt.”
