I agree with you on the issue of putting down others theories to promote your own.. Totally unnecessary to my mind. I'm guessing that it's just to provoke debate but I really don't know..

Clearly a model can be extreme and correct, but I believe that Brian's theories are not 'fixed' to the fact that the Erratics were definitely dropped on Salisbury Plain. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that He believes they may have been some distance away.. (No, not Wales).

Personally I do like some of the things He bring to the debate..

The Stones coming from 15 or more Outcrops in West and South Wales and the fact that the stones are of various types..

Dolerite
Spotted dolerite
Volcanic Ash
Sandstone
Rhyolite

The 'Bluestones' are not all blue. Some are grey or brown or black.

Some are spotted, but clearly not all. Just the spotted ones.

Some are hard, but some are soft and friable.

The only link that I can see between the Stones is that they come from an area We now call wales.

The Bluestones and the Sarsens always get a mention but the Altar Stone is a Sandstone and not from Wales nor Wiltshire and I do believe other Stone/Stones has been found that also isn't from ether...

It's a puzzle
