Reasons for Lawn Mowing and Silbury Hill, Purpose and Process.

Frosty Morn

There's a man-made chalk and Clay hill near Stonehenge in the south of Britannia. It's called Silbury Hill. The calculations from those who have thought about it suggests that to haul and then deposit the 330,000 cubic yards of clay and chalk the hill was made of would have taken 500 men 18 million man-hours, or 15 years.

Why?

First: the Folklore of Silbury Hill engages a story of the Devil being outwitted by he Powerful Priests of Avebury (the Stonehenge Neighborhood), a drama that's been reinterpreted by the more recent christian folk as Palm Sunday, is less interesting than a contemplation of the social structures of over four thousand years ago that wanted and enabled Silbury Hill to happen. It wasn't a hill-fort, not military, it was more likely the product of a central theocratic pork eating authority. 

Second: Silbury Hill appears to have been constructed between 2400 BC and 2300 BC. No true plan of what it  might have been has emerged. But with us people we are as much engage in a glorious purpose and process as we are in the mundanities of why and how. The Why of Silbury Hill may have been lost in the Process of Silbury Hill, the statement of building her was enough.
