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.

Around 4,000 BC the nomadic and warlike Kurgan people invaded central Europe over a period of several centuries. Perhaps the people displaced moved to England, where they either brought new innovations, or warfare and unrest. After this period of Kurgan invasion, there was almost a thousand years until another Kurgan incursion around 3,000 BC. So if there was no longer a bunch of new people coming in after 3700, then they might have stopped building these centers/fortifications?.
