Help save an important part of our past!!!

I just received this urgent message from Steve McNallen:

Thornborough is a 5,500 year-old ceremonial causeway and monument complex in England. It remained intact until after World War Two, when quarrying in the area expanded. News reaching the AFA indicates that a decision affecting the future of Thornborough will be made on or about February 3rd! This is only a few days away, so we will have to move quickly!

Tarmac, the company quarrying in the area, has applied to the NorthYorkshire County Council for expanded operations in ways that will threaten the integrity of the site and damage an irreplaceable center of Britain's prehistoric heritage. The proposed new quarry will destroy the only known Neolithic settlement linked with the Thornborough Henges. This is a mighty complex of three 240m earthcircles and many other monuments that cover more than 2 sq. miles.

This is potentially the largest religious site ever built in Britain.

The three henges are laid out like Orion's Belt and BBC TV Time Flyers filmed it, presenter and leading archaeologist Dr Mark Horton said they were the largest earth moving exercise in pre-history and that this was the worlds earliest known monument aligned to the stars.

Details on the site and its defense can be found at http://www.TimeWatch.org.

Due to the little time we have to respond, letters mailed from the US and Canada are not likely to arrive in time to do any good. We urge you to fax the North Yorkshire County Council at:

Be polite but passionate!
