I think I can explain the initial preference for the Welsh bluestones over local sarsen sandstone, prior to lintels, apart from them being smaller.
Really, the details of Genesis' career arc feel like small potatoes within the realm of the song's grandeur, as would any other such literal explanation. This incident made archaeologists aware that other techniques, such as non-invasive survey, limited excavation and seismic survey were required if they intended to keep the monument standing whilst trying to learn more about it.I’m working on a similar narrative for Stonehenge/Durrington Walls and hundreds of barrows with the cross-piece lintels arriving finally as a superior bird perch. Silbury Hill stands 130 feet (40 meters) tall, covering an area of more than five acres. Today, Silbury Hill is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site known as ‘Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites’.According to one interpretation, each of the phases was followed quickly by the next, and that the whole structure could have been completed in a century, perhaps towards the end of the 25th century BC, or around the middle of the 24th century BC.I put up a post yesterday on my own Neolithic site, recently re-activated after a longish break, hardening up on a theory some 4 years in the making, one that offers an explanation for the close proximity of Avebury, Silbury Hill and the Long Barrow at West Kennet.Yes, it can make somewhat grisly reading, but the alternative options were difficult too (thin soil on chalk bedrock making grave-digging difficult, especially with pre-Bronze age antler picks, and shortage of firewood for cremation via funeral pyres).The Silbury Hill was not planned and built in one go, but was expanded over several generations. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exists countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained.He was prevented from doing so, however, by priests at Avebury, and dropped it in Silbury instead, thus forming the earthen mound. Unravelling the evolution of Europe’s largest prehistoric mound When a tunnel into Silbury Hill was opened for the first time in almost 40 years to allow emergency conservation work, a team of English Heritage archaeologists seized the opportunity to enter the mound. At least three separate tunnels have been dug into the center of the mound over the last three and a half centuries.
