Aye, it is interesting, and re brains being wired differently, responding to differnet things, I think theres every chance thats true!
Why are we even interested in this subject anyway, for example?
I do ask myself that from time to time. Its like I 'recognised' something, when I first encountered ancient sites. I'm extremely drawn to the subject, but, really, why?!
I can atrribute it to all sorts of things, but I don't think that question can be fully answered, if you know what I mean.
I put it down to childhood entertainment ;)
I think in the 80s when I was growing up, children's TV and literature was positively saturated with references to our historic and mythic landscape.I reckon that was a big factor that influenced my interest in such things.
You may well be on to something there, but without wishing to get all mystic meg, I feel its already 'inside' in some way, and the literature/TV etc simply unlocks it, or helps you to recognise it in yourself.
Quite possible. I've never understood people who can look at Avebury with disinterest, and say "but I don't get it... it's just a bunch of stones?".
It was an even lesser bunch before Keiller turned up, what would they have said then?!
