Lol. Your stalling.

Raising the stones won't protect them and you know it



I know it wont, though i'm of the view they wouldn't need protecting.

Let's say a buried piece of sarsen would last 10 million years, though it'd never be seen, a re-erected piece lasts 9 million years and is enjoyed by a countless number of people, is that a good trade off ? imo yes.


One of the 'factual' reasons for raising the stones at Avebury was that it would help protect the stones both from what, weathering? and theft

This I believe is factual 'bull shite'



Well i guess i should let others answer that as they aren't my reasons for wanting re-erection.


The one and only reason for raising the stones should be to put them back in the setting where they once stood and as intended by our Neolithic ancestors. Avebury is not Avebury as intended without them! Simples!
