Rich ,
The Morris list has always been useful as well as a source of humour .

Of Morris’s 104 listed theories he also included those that he believed impossible .
Nearly all of those that he favoured i.e. the ones he gave the biggest marks , e.g. Astronomy , Alignment markers , Metal prospection , Megalithic inch , Right Angle Triangles all get 8-10 out of 10 , I exclided .

“ The stone circle builders carved them “ (8), can’t disagree with that but not because of the reasons given , “since the unit of measurement used in carving a spiral is exactly one fortieth of the Megalithc Yard …..it is inescapable that the latter were also responsible for the cup and ring “ .

Mojo refound ?



Certainly has been useful. It's always useful to bring up whenever you're having a conversation with someone relatively new to the field. True enough about those discounted and the subjectiveness attached to them.

Yep, the mojo started creeping back last year. Not quite as it once was, but slowly getting there.



Glad to hear you are back on the slippery slope .
