That sounds a little like destroying a Vietnamese village in order to save it. Or burying the Kennewick Man in order to preserve him. I wonder if Schliemann would have a problem with it. From my reading of Ilios, I think he would. With such thinking he may never have discovered the ruins of Troy. English Heritage believe that the only way to conserve the hill is to close it up. Miners now labour below ground to pack the chalk and seal it with a special paste. In a few days or weeks, the grail of thousands of years will be beyond reach and Silbury - the great tepee, the big tent, of our woad-striped forefathers - will be restored to enigmatic silence.
