The second of Professor Aubrey Manning's excellent series of eight investigations into mysteries of the British landscape in on BBC2 at 7.30 on Thursday 2nd October.
This time, he will be looking at the Uffington White Horse, the Cerne Abbas Giant and the Long Man of Wilmington. Uffington will be dated confidently to the Bronze Age, but what of the other two? Is Cerne Abbas a piece of 18th century pornography?

Re: Landscape Mysteries - Britains Ancient Omphalos by Anonymous on Sunday, 24 September 2006
If you are a serious investigator you should give some consideration to the work of John Michell, especially his consideration for the Isle of Man being the Omphalos of Britain.
In his book titled "At The Centre of the World" he considers Ellan Vannin as the likely centre of Ancient Britain, In the esoteric foundation plan, he refers to Plato on the requirements for the landscape setting that befits the State Citadel, and I have for some considerable time been uncovering the mysteries of the Stone of Sacred Kingship here on Mannin's Isle.
Perhaps you might consider making a programme on it at a later date.
