These old, old things make me happy.

Slbury has a sense of being there forever..I'm sure in 5 000 years when we've all fucked off,it will still be there.

Plot twist....I remember the standing stones from my Neolithic Druid past life time. Guess what,....I'm back and reconnecting with them once again. So uplifting.

Love silbury hill,still today no one really knows it's purpose...a lot of guesswork

Great documentary, I know some of the people in it and have photographed this wonderful monument so many times.

Probably just an ancient tourist attraction, If you visited your admittance price was a bucket of dirt.

2007 was probably peak British society in our current ideology and methodology. We actually cared about our country, our identity, and our past. We’re definitely in societal change and decline from then on…

Did they ever dig down in the center of the hill? The first phase of the mound may have been built over a buried chief.

12:40 i find the implication that people who dont use deodorant stink scientifically and morally offensive; presumably these people washed, theres plenty of water nearby

The snake idea doesn’t sound so daft now that we know snake structures were all over the americas…

I suggest that the hill was built for the purpose of astronomical observation from the summit, esp. heliacal risings of stars to establish exact dates in the calender year. (Incidentaly much more accurately than in our recent millenia) The hill would have raised the observer nearer the level of surrounding hills to give a more meaningful horizon.

If I only had a time machine.

Many thanks to another brilliant presentation from Neil Oliver. I just wonder, after all the time spent in trying to find a burial chamber etc, if all the time, it was below the surface? All the tunnels seem to be at ground level. Looks like we'll never know. The people who built all these monuments must have been so ingenius.

nice to see my self again in the metalworking scenes

Fascinating

How fabulous to be able to watch this again!

Whan the heel was balt?

There's a nice video on KZread about a theory that this and other mounds on the Levels (Silbury and Glastonbury Tor are the best known but there's lots of small ones) are naturally occurring mounds caused by upwelling Springs, from a time when the whole area was wetlands.

What is a santuary ?

There was a woman that appeared on film to witness that her father remembered seeing a stone on top and the hill forming a pinacle. This "stone"had lines engraved, and was named an oggm stone. it is now in one of these strange untouchables bed spaces? Like the Spielberg film'raiders of the lost ark'. Shame on them you destroyed the lives of the creatures you came to fill with lies. And never lifted a thing to earn the respect of those that cared for them. You should shudder and originate. Stuart

The host?

What is a clawe ??

The temple looks like a senate-center for counsels.

Avebury is step next. What did they found? Lots talking about what not founded.

Do school kids in your vountry get bade grades for pronouncing vowels correctly ???

The hill? Rhiannon’s inauguration-marriage to the local high prince.

there is an interesting video called something like 'paul and sonyas terrifying experience at silbury' ('simeon hein' channel)

Looks like it had some structure on top, because it's flat on top, unless that was a modern engineering work. There's also a road going up, and unless it's modern, was a way to get up, perhaps to the structure. What gives credence to this theory are the 50 or so sets of human bones found in the long barrow suggests to me a chieftain's family buried there over many generations. Perhaps Silbury Hill was the descendant's hill fort. Of course, it's all speculation.

God bless Neil Oliver. He was leaking non-ball back in the day before we knew. Much respect. 40:15 (approx.) The firmament. I'd like to buy you a beer or whisky, which ever your tipple. Thank you

He's a Tory who now works for a company funded by Dubai oil investors wanting to sell their only export. Put simply, he would sell his granny for a fiver.
