I dunno i said, But it's as good a theory as i've ever heard, Kinda heart warming too, If a little "soppy". :)
It certainly brought people together for a cause HSD that's for sure! Interesting that you should mention the WKLB which was built over a 1000 years prior to Silbury Hill. As the long barrow was 'closing down' so the building of SH began, or possibly as one belief ran out of steam another commenced as this was a pivotal point in time. The hill rose up to level the height of the WKLB and lodged between the two was the River Kennet and the Swallowhead Springs. Coincidence?
