There's rather a lot going on with these places we don't understand


You can say that again; but it seems to me that constructing Stonehenge, so close to Avebury, was a statement of some sort; what that statement might have been is a whole new can of worms.* Was Stonehenge built by a breakaway fraction of 'religious' leaders formerly at Avebury? Was Stonehenge built by a 'new' religious order from the west - this kind of thing has happened before at other places around the world (you might even say it's still happening today :-)

*And don't mention the 'd' word - you know what happens if you do...

Insecta repented (Crawling Vermin)*

Worms
gnaw things

The Earth-worm
the Earth;

The Caterpillar
the Plant;

The Grasshopper
the Fruits;

The Mite
the Corn;

Now what, I wonder, should we call those crawling muddy little vermin that insidiously gnaw away at the sensible contributions of others ;-)

*Orbis Pictus by John Amos Comenius. 1659.
