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)

Here you are June, the great Pyramid is broadly contemporary with the date of Silbury Hill. Silbury was started about 2,400BC and the G.Pyramid finished around 2,560BC, so yes, pretty much the same if they are now saying Silbury took 100 years to complete.
