EDITORS COMMENTS
In a major bid to shed new light on our remote ancestors, BBC2 is embarking on an ambitious three-year excavation project in and around Silbury Hill. This enormous artificial hill, located near Avebury, six miles west of Marlborough in Wilts, holds the key to unraveling ancient mysteries. The photo captures David Attenborough, renowned naturalist and controller of BBC-2, as he passionately explains the planned program at a press conference held at BBC Television Centre in White City London in September 1967. This image showcases the intersection of entertainment and education as Attenborough speaks about this groundbreaking initiative. With his wealth of knowledge and expertise, he captivates the audience with his enthusiasm for unearthing secrets from our distant past. Silbury Hill stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. Its origins have long puzzled archaeologists and historians alike. Now, thanks to BBC2's sponsorship and dedication to scientific exploration, we are poised to uncover unprecedented insights into our ancestral heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of the power of television as a medium for enlightenment. It serves not only as a source of entertainment but also as a platform for discovery that can bridge gaps between generations by connecting us with our shared history.
