Book excerpt: Silbury Hill is an enigma. For centuries people have wondered why such a hill in the bottom of a water logged hollow was built. In spite of many investigations, the largest man-made hill in Europe remained a mystery. The author has tried to redress the imbalance by researching the climate and the landscape, and natural environment of the Neolithic people some 4500 years ago. The results of his study are rather surprising. It was a change of climate after the last ice age, and the dire effects of same on the pre-historic settlements in the Avebury area, which had dictated the building of Silbury Hill. Had there been no climate change, Silbury Hill would not have been built.
