Re: Ramps??
Sep 18, 2003, 10:16
I think that's very cogent. All we know is that the investigating archaeologist 100 years ago and the EH team more recently used the word ramp.

However, we can say or assume they were wrong but we don’t know for sure if they had any other evidence or what the establishment thinks about the issue.

Just one archaeologist saying we might be right would be a comfort. I’ve found one – the BBC’s archaeologist preferred the crib method but his view didn’t prevail, it seems. Just how careful the BBC were about being consistent with the evidence is debatable however, since in his radio programme he said the trilithons must have pre-dated the circle which is against the evidence, as you know. I think having their name and having archaeologists on board gave them a degree of freedom and authority to take a line that we lack unfortunately.

I suppose in the end this resolves into a matter of tactics and calculated risk so I’ll leave it for you to decide.
