Photoessay #2780 - Those British megaliths

'

I'm guessing that every archaeology student learns about these Neolithic British monuments right off.  Stonehenge and all that.  But they are all news to me.  I know, I know, don't take a 400 level university course in a discipline you know nothing about.  I'm also guessing that if you were an English archaeology student, you would, for sure, know about them.  My professor is out of Oxford, not sure where before that; he has a slight European accent.  I think they are very important in archaeology.

The British Neolithic Monuments

I've never heard of them, but I'm learning about them, so fascinating.  I have to give a presentation in two weeks on Movement and it's relationship to Landscape Archaeology.  I'm just now catching on as to what Landscape Archaeology refers to.  But I've done a ton of reading.  Most all dense difficult articles.  The professor has put them all up on the Canvas website, you download them.  Even printing on both sides of the paper, I've completely run out of room in my binder where I was saving them.  And I'm looking down at another 180 pages this week.

But I'm starting to get my movement presentation in focus, I think it will be all right.  If I work constantly on this for two or three more weeks.

The pictures are from a large monument complex..Avebury.  Pronounced 'avery'.  When the professor talked about it, it kept bringing up the fantasy world from the Magician King books.  I looked it up and he called it Fillory.  But it rolls off the tongue the same way.

The photographer for the second picture says the picture is available for use if I include the copyright mark and link

All this is new to me.  But isn't that the idea?
