Ford Timelord – 111 Lithographic Prints by Flinton Chalk and The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures.

14 January 2021Mark

TC Lethbridge’s claims regarding the existence of Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill in Cambridgeshire caused significant controversy within the archaeological community, with most archaeologists believing that Lethbridge had erroneously misidentified a natural feature.

After more than 8 years of discussions and a true odyssey to track down…
