Re: The Secrets of Stonehenge ??

I only just saw this and I found MPP and Co.'s theory an imaginative and plausible one but the reverse logic of saying that because the Durrington settlement was only occupied for 35 years, Stonehenge was built in such that period seemed quite a leap.

And doesn't it undermine the notion that the relationship between the timber / / living / temporary circle of Woodhenge was a long used beginning of a ritual journey ending at stone / dead / eternal circle of Stonehenge if Durrington was only in use for such a short period? Or did I miss something?

If the theory is accurate, does it say something about the relationship of the timber circle of the Sanctuary and the stone circle of Avebury?
