So you add this up. Avon River runs through twenty-odd communities north and south of Amesbury. The folks around Amesbury have a herd of Auroch cows....a predominantly pre-historic breed, which is a pretty LARGE cow. All in existence at 8,820 BC (ten thousand years ago). It’s the dawn of a radical breed of man....who doesn’t wander around much and has taken to a stable life, real comforts, and trading (the first signs of capitalism).
The guys in Amesbury realize they’ve got the beef, and the trade...so build onto the commercial side. You throw up some stones, talk of moon cycles and mystic powers, and you got yourself a five-star draw. Folks come from days and weeks away....to see the whole thing, and munch down on some pretty good Auroch beef....grilled to perfection. Toss in some ale, and locally distilled whiskey, and it’s a man’s tourism dream.
So your saying it might be better to call it, the first ‘Euro Disney’?
Does it strike you as odd that the level of astronomical knowledge, social organization and sophistication of ceremony was already in place at what is supposed to be the inception of civilization?
Throw in the mystical medical tourism industry aspect and you really have a home run destination.
