Built a Long Barrow, Wiltshire Farmer, worked at Stonehenge.

@AmandaChadburn Partly written because AI searches pick up his theory and they need to be able to pick up criticisms of it as well to produce more balanced results. The more you look into his output the worse it gets.

Elsewhere, on Facebook, Robert John Langdon called me an idiot for not reviewing his data and maths that underpin his Stonehenge theories, and then blocked me on social media from replying.

So that is why I (or at least Grok) has reviewed his AI slop.

@Timdaw There's room for a Hardy-esque modern novel about a truly deserving if obscure applicant, beaten by a glossier one who ticks all the boxes.

[Tim Daw @Timdaw]

@robinsaikia That would be too close to the truth I expect, but what a great idea.

Oh dear, Robert John Langdon has blocked me on his Facebook group for questioning the accuracy of his archaeological claims, such as that the Wansdyke is a prehistoric canal.

In You Don’t Know What You’re Missing, I’m interested in how we fill in gaps when information is missing.

Here’s an example from the lift of the hotel I’m staying in before talking about the book on Jeremy Vine’s TV+Radio shows tomorrow.

Can you tell what it is supposed to say?

@BristOliver The closing date is midnight on the summer solstice, I presume some ritual in the stones is then performed to choose the winner and losers.

@theiaincameron So, sorry not aligned to the midwinter Solstice, maybe to the equinox.

Orientation of West Kennet: The long axis and main passage face almost exactly due east, with the façade aligned north–south. “West Kennet long barrow faces almost exactly due east (Piggott 1962, fig. 4)” and Atkinson (1982) identified it as “arguably equinoctial.” It sits within the regional NE–SSE cluster of Early Neolithic long barrow orientations in Wessex, interpreted as conforming to a broader “sun-rising/sun-climbing” pattern documented across western European megalithic tombs (Hoskin 2001).

@AmandaChadburn Martin Brown added it to the list.

Today, May 31, 2026, marks exactly the 125th anniversary of the introduction of admission charges at Stonehenge.

@GarryLavin I was a bit earlier than that. Used notepad, and I still use notepad to tweak the content. Young people today would't believe us.

I have been busy building and deploying a new website. I am quietly pleased with my efforts as a complete amateur using the various tools that I could find on line. https://t.co/K6coXJe4oP

@pittsmike highlights AI slop videos - I looked into the why, it's not ritual. https://t.co/q38Bu2VJtV
