Demonstration of the Long Megalithic Sightlines

My brother has just published another article on www.astro-archaeology.org which develops considerable evidence of very long sightlines to Sun and Moon on the horizon formed by Ireland seen from southern Wales. The focus for this system is a small dolmen called Llech y Drybedd (pron. Dribeth) shown left. 

This investigation indicates that the monument and its environs were used to very accurately establish astronomical sightlines so as to have developed the very advanced knowledge (contested) that are found in artifacts of the ancient knowledge such as the lunation triangle, aspects of Stonehenge, exact metrological portrayal of astronomical periods within the dimensions of monuments and so forth.

This work is important because it appears that the effectiveness of numerical artifacts will not be accepted by many until the means by which exact time periods were established by monumental complexes are shown. It appears that, far from the possible religious or ritual significance, these megalithic complexes were instruments for establishing exact astronomical knowledge.

New Stonehenge Landscape Triangle

My brother, Robin Heath, has just published a new discovery of his concerning Stonehenge. Formerly Robin found the significance of the Station Stone rectangle as showing the solar year in lunar month encoded within an intermediate hypotenuse of the 12:13:5 triangle. This triangle was then found by him, times 2500 in size, to form a right angle at Lundy Island, Stonehenge at the apex, and Prescelli source of the bluestones at the end of the 13 side. This intermediate hypotenuse was on Calvey Island. The base line was directly east west.

Because Robin's "bluestone triangle was scaled to the station stone rectangle then the metrology was related, again, to astronomical megalithic yards. Now the new triangle is the earlier "Pythagorean" triangle of 3:4:5, the first such triangle in lowest numbers. Its hypotenuse points towards the vastly significant megalithic complex of Anglesey Island in northern Wales and is defined by a site directly north of Stonehenge, Arbor Low, on the latitude of Anglesey. The metrology is closely connected, thus making the two triangles and these sites a coherent manifestation of linkage within the megalithic sites of southern Britain.

This important extension of relationship can be read at a new site designed to accept material that does not fit with the conventional view of such things and yet is founded on hard evidence, i.e. numbers and observations.

Sidereal Lawn Clock based on Stonehenge (pdf)

Around 1995 I built a replica of the 56 Aubrey Holes that surround Stonehenge within its outer ditch. Their function remained a total mystery until Fred Hoyle, the great astro-physicist, was asked to review the monument. He realised that the holes could function as a Sun Moon simulator that, once running, could also predict the solar and lunar eclipse phenomena that occur when the Moon's nodes coincide with the position of sun and moon.

My brother had improved Hoyle's rules for how the simulator should run and it seemed fascinating to have such a clear symbol of the sky working on the Earth. The version to the right uses stones set into the lawn but originally plastic plumbing pipes were driven into the ground and markers for sun, moon and nodes were inserted (see picture at end).

The whole idea became an article that could even accompany some parts to reproduce the clock. I have made an image pdf of this article here (1.5Mb). The markers were a bit intrusive to the working of the garden whilst the stones form a natural feature. The earth that was in the centre has been replaced with a weeping birch.

To lay out a regular 56 element circle is difficult because dividing a circle by seven is very difficult. I got around the problem through a gimmick, seven knots in slightly elastic rope but in a following post I will describe a recent solution to the problem using sacred geometry of post and rope alone.

Below is the view of the markers operating out of holes in the lawn. yellow is the sun, blue the moon, one node pole is used (since the other node is always opposite) and stones are used as outliers, white quartz to the south for no particular reason.
