That seems much more likely to me based on what we know of the ancient world.
This theory of a "healing centre" strikes me as modern New Age nonsense.
In the days of the Trojan War (1200 B.C.?), Homer describes the burning of Patrocles' body on a giant funeral pyre that was a hundred feet each way.
He also describes the burning of Hector's body on a pyre so large that it contained "infinite quantities of wood" that took nine days to gather.

My thoughts exactly. But if it really was a place of cremation, shouldn't there be evidence of a funeral pyre somewhere abouts?
