This print captures the enigmatic Silbury Hill in Wiltshire, England. Taken from the west, it showcases the grandeur of this prehistoric artificial chalk mound that has puzzled archaeologists for centuries. Constructed during the Bronze Age between 2600 and 2000 BC, its purpose remains shrouded in mystery. Silbury Hill is an integral part of a complex of Neolithic monuments surrounding Avebury, making it a significant archaeological site. Standing proudly against the backdrop of the English countryside, this man-made marvel stands as a testament to ancient engineering prowess. The photographer behind this remarkable image is CM Dixon, whose artistic eye beautifully portrays both the scale and intricacy of Silbury Hill. The monochrome tones add depth to every detail, emphasizing its imposing presence on the landscape. As we gaze upon this photograph print today in the 20th century, we are reminded of our connection to those who lived thousands of years ago.
