however it's also a good illustration of how the evidence can be 'bent' to fit the theory. If you look at the illustration in Fergusson's book (p.215) the lines that join the cups into the shape just don't exist. In other words the picture has been doctored.


Not the for the first time .Another favourite is to omit stuff that doesn't fit in the theory , usually astro or calendrical e.g. drawings of kerb stone K15 from Knowth often has features missing .
