Subtitle: English monuments, including Maiden Castle and Windmill Hill, found to have been built, used and abandoned in single lifetime What?!? These were ritually constructed over generations? Yeah right. And next you're going to tell me that societies collapse because of invasion, instead of overspecialization.

3700 BC? Before the flood?

When people go to great lengths to build defensive works of this magnitude, it must of been something that really scared them greatly.

Google satellite view of Maiden Castle (pan and zoom in the map). The east and west entrances through the ramparts and ditches can be seen towards either side of the image roughly where the modern paths are, while zooming in one level will reveal the square structure of the later Romano-Celtic Temple towards the east.

3700 BC: Maybe those rendered homeless with the destruction of Atlantis started a housing boom on the mainland.

The scariest thing around is other peoples. Unless it was the dinosaurs.

Thanks Fred Nerks. Looks like the double-posting thing is a software problem here, and not just me -- or, we're going through a snoopy proxy server. Thanks all!
