I'm not so sure , there is little else similar to be expert about . I thought the crit by Alun was better than the origianl and there have been other suggestions equally as weak .The German archaeo establishment seem a bit too ready to offer astro ideas with little evidence .It's not quite the same here , we are much warier possibly because we went too far in the 70's , they have still to learn that lesson .
