Thank you, yes my children and I had a lovely time. I will always be of the opinion that a time capsule belongs in Silbury Hill. Who are we to say that the artifacts we are finding/have found were not purposely left by our Neolithic ancestors as their own time capsule. At the time Silbury was built "time capsules" as we know them weren't readily available. The Pyramids in Egypt contained items to be found by future generations; items now treasured and if they were to "shore up" the pyramids would anyone object to more treasures being left? We tend to think we "know"what our ancestors wanted/beieved. Who are we to be so arrogant? As i said perhaps Silbury was meant to contain treasures to be found in the future; so who are any of us to say a time capsule is wrong?
