Well what a waste of an hour and half i'll never get back.
They solved nothing and proved nothing.
I think MPP has invested that much time in his particular theory he's now looking for evidence that fits it rather than taking the evidence he finds and looking at the bigger picture with an open mind.
There's not a shred of evidence that Durrington and stonehenge were linked, that's just his opinion, me, i don't buy it for a second.
The only good that came out of this programme was finding the new feature at the end of the avenue.
I've nothing personal against MPP but i can't wait for the next generation of archaeologists to get their hands on the site, if they ever do that is now it's been "solved."


I only visited Stonehenge for the first time just a couple of months ago; it was Good Friday and there were hundreds of tourists there (myself included). Walked up to the Heel Stone and just stood for a bit, the other visitors all blurred into the background and I experienced this wonderful monument for a few minutes.

I'm no archaeologist and found the programme completely interesting although didn't like the 'neolithic acting' bit. The point made in the programme that the main feature in landscape was the river Avon struck a cord, as on my recent visit I also got to experience following the river for a bit via the road. It awakens the landscape in a way that looking at aerial photographs never could.
