Re: The Stukeley Line

Sadly, rationality takes a back seat in issues such as this. It would be rational to reunite the right-end panel of the Anglo-Saxon Franks Casket (now in the Bargello Museum, Florence) with the rest of the Casket in the British Museum. Crazy isn’t it, and yet the world of antiquities is littered with such examples.

The difference here (at Avebury) is that the stones are not on foreign soil but, for the most part, are in or on the soil where they originally stood. Those who oppose their re-erection are actually doing so for very narrow-minded reasons - not for the greater good of the monument itself, its better understanding and appreciation on the world stage and, ultimately, its marker in history and its place in human endeavour.
