hundreds of years. That Stonehenge is half ratio to the Pyramid
can be seen if one draws a triangle on the ground with
one side across the diameter of the middle, and the other
two sides meeting at the Heel Stone. The total is exactly
half the size of the Pyramid as viewed from the side. The
Pyramid is 756 feet along its base. Stonehenge is 378 feet
in diameter.
Stonehenge was used to predict eclipses of the Sun
and Moon, the Moon’s declination cycle, as well as the
Sun’s, and the measurement of solstices and celestial phenomena
such as lunar eclipses. It was as if the people of
that reghion were obsessed with lunar declination and the
times the moon crossed the ecliptic.
In 1964, Gerald Hawkins, Professor of Astronomy at
Boston University subjected the Stonehenge site to numerous
tests. He concluded that the Stonehenge architecture
acts as sort of a neolithic computer, used to predict
eclipses of the Sun and Moon. Stonehenge astronomers
were also counting off eclipse “seasons” which recur about
every six months. The site’s axis points roughly in the direction
of the sunrise at the summer solstice.
It is the opinion of this author that stone circles were
nothing less than weather calculators and giant teaching
tools, not only to depict climatic changes but also to instruct
about transoceanic navigation. For instance, the base
length of the Pyramid was 1/110,000th the cirumference
of the earth in miles. Stonehenge would have been on the
navigation seminar list. We have to conclude that the seas
were being traversed much earlier than we presently give
credit to. In his book “Ancient Maps of the Sea Kings”
