| >that Christians are the only people that meet and marry no I'm not saying that but that there is No evidence that it ever happened inside Avebury.< In your earlier post you say that >...by (my) assuming marriages and meetings took place inside Avebury you are placing Xtian ideologies on a pre Xtian culture.< I really do not know what Christianity has to do with this discussion and I am not 'assuming' anything - I am simply advancing the hypothesis that Avebury was probably use for all sorts of functions including meetings and marriages and I am still waiting for you to provide evidence to the contrary. >Just because there is an avenue of stones doesn't Mean that people Processed down it.< The Avebury Avenue has not been mentioned in any of my posts - as far as I am concerned such an avenue is as enigmatic as a cursus. >Merrymaking leaves a lot of mess and this hasn't been found inside Avebury.< That is an assumption. Avebury has not been thoroughly excavated and there is no reason to believe that merrymaking would leave a lot of mess. >The site has been metald etected to death and no significant hoards have ever turned up (reported or not).< Avebury is a Neolithic site, worked flints or stones would not register on a metal detector. >I know a pagan in Avebury who tells the tourists that on Mayday the ancients used to gather the women at the Cove and the men at the Obelix.< I do not know what this has to do with my original hypothesis that Avebury was more than just a place of pilgrimage - perhaps you would care to elaborate.
