What a fascinating find, if only those old bones could speak eh?


This doesn't really surprise me as the Thames is truly our ancient and sacred waterway. One of it's many sources being by Silbury/Avebury. I live not too far from its official beginnings in Cricklade and have observed small local rivers that start as streams and feed into it. Last week I was in London and walked the length of the South Bank - what an amazing river. You cannot help but wonder how ancient peoples navigated such a massive tidal flow before there were bridges. Highly skilled sea faring people I'm sure.

I'm still trying to find the Museum of London, haven't been there yet and on that occasion last week was distracted by the Tate Modern.
