Re: Silbury Hill, the truth
Nov 11, 2007, 13:57
Yes, and on the other perhaps some perspective is needed - how fallen down can the hill get ? It's been there for four and a half thousand years and whatever damage to it there's been is in the past. It's a massive pile of chalk - how, exactly, is it going to collapse ? Into a pancake shape? What peeves me greatly is that there are other 'sacred hills' in the country - perhaps larger, perhaps smaller - some enhanced natural features and some entirely artificial - that don't even 'get a look in'. Forum members here might as well pretend they don't exist, yet produce billows of hot air at the idea that Silbury Hill might settle by a couple of centimetres. Obsession is a creative trait but it is essential to keep some sense of reality.
