Would appreciate some critical feedback


The reason you're not getting much is (for me) that a) I can't visualise it all (more maps, please) b) I can't grasp what the overall object of the exercise is (mission statement, please) and c) overcomplexity. On this last point, you might have to be infinitely complex (I am, you will have noted, currently re-building the entire world brick by brick over on the AEL site) but this means being infinitely simple when addressing simple minds.

The trouble is we all get carried away plotting stuff.

Borry old chap I've been watching an episode of 'Mulberry' and about three quarters of the way through this episode there's a bit where two of the characters meet at what looks suspiciously like an a artificial hill with the top blown off and toppled on its side. I believe geologists call them erratics. The ice carries large lumps of rock, in this case something that looks like a load of blocks stuck together, and drops them on the top of what appear to be artificial hills which for some reason were not eroded away.

I don't know where it was filmed. But perhaps it might be on one of your lines. I don't want to mention ancient catastrophes and all that. I'll see if I can find out where it was filmed.

Err, Mulberry?,didn't know you are into shopping channels.
Is it the Autumn Winter collection that blows your top off?

You missed out Springtime who is of course the mother of Mulberry as well as being the lovely Sylvia Syms of Ice Cold in Alex fame.

Which is why Mulberry hasn't really inherited all the wintery cold characteristics of his father Death.

I completely agree the lovely Sylvia Syms was lovely in Ice Cold in Alex. Very lovey.

And nice if she's Springtime.

But (and I know this sounds like Mick)
What is Mulberry and why can't I find it on normal TV channels?

Dear Confused of Wilts,

I must have missed that clip of the delightful Sylvia. No wilting here.

Mulberry was a minor classic axed by the beeb when they decided to go downmarket. It was never completed. That would have been not much of a problem with any other series but in this case the logic of the drama depended on the final episodes.

Ah well.

Here's a link to the series on youtube. You may have to hurry before someone removes them all. It may not be megalithic enough here and may attract the ire and wrath of the head druid.

The series can be followed by clicking on the right hand links giving the episodes in sequence.

By the way the herring recipe is a bit of a variation on a Shetland recipe. The real one is of course glassblowers herring from Sweden.

I was on a Norwegian ship once and they used to catch fish at sea and hang them up on the deck where they would dry and cure themselves. The sailors on watch used to slice chunks off and chew as and when needed.

The nymph Maia, suitably Springtime-like, was the mother of the messenger god Hermes. Mulberry will surely be given the benefit of the doubt under the guise of modern re-tellings of the Hermes myth or something.

All this Sylvia Sims soft porn is delightful, but dreadfully distracting.

Getting back to the OT, mapping.

Avebury, at the centre of TME, ticks the boxes for another special reason. Whereas Stonehenge is significant for solar reasons, Avebury is astronomically aligned. Avebury is also one of the ancient temples of the world positioned on exact longitudinal fractions.

Giza is 1/3rd (30 degrees) of the 90 degree quadrant (equator to pole)
Thebes is 2/7ths (25.7 deg)
Avebury is 4/7ths (51.42 deg) or 360/7

360/7 is 51.42857142857143

Put that in a geosite as the longitude and what do you get?

e.g.: http://www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com ... 38&zoom=16

That is a real gob-smacker. Usually with my feeble attempts at maps, alignments and meridians, places are fairly close, or quite close, or close enough. Avebury , however, is none of these. It is absolutely spot-on, to an astonishing degree of precision.

Are you sure such a 'gob-smacker' hasn't been spotted before? If not, congratulations. Now where?

What bearing (no pun intended) would the position of Avebury have vis-a-vis the 'Michael Line'?
