If you want to see REAL TOSH, may I recommend the film 10,000BC ... watched it Sunday on Channel 5. I always thought the pyramids were approximately 4,500 yrs old (similar to Silbury) but low and behold, there they were being built ... by slaves.
Having an attack of doubt now ... How old are the pyramids?
This website seems to think 5,000yrs (though someone suggested 10,000BC)

In the BBC4 programme Silbury: The Heart of the Hill, they said that Silbury was contemporary with the building of the Great Pyramid which is something I have always understood. Of course there are many earlier ones.
That's my understanding with Djoser's less than a couple of hundred years earlier .
