I don't know why people have such a hard time with this.

Stonehenge is a large astronomical clock used by the ancients to track the movement of the planets the sun the stars etc.

The outer ring is/was 360 degree marking points by using a sort of ancient sextant they would line up the stars and the device and mark which stone it lined up to. Then they would call out the position to the "map maker" who had a star map layed out on the "alter".

This way they could chart the seasons, the relative position of planets etc. All of which was used in the "dark sciences" and added to the mystic of the magic makers of the time.


They could also forecast the changing of time so that farmers would plant during the right time and have a more productfull crop etc. Remember we are talking really ancient times here, desktop calendars just were not around so the progress of time was really basic... oh its cold I must call this winter... oh its hot I must call this summer.... I wonder when summer will end... and a few weeks go by and it starts to get cold again.... ahhh winter must be approaching

They had to refer to a very select group of "wizards" for guidance as to when it when begin getting hot or cold etc. This way Kings could properly determin when was the right time to wage war if they took into account how long the operation should take.

These "wizards" then would be paid a fee for the "telling of time" and farmers relied on the "wizards" to instruct them when to plant when to harvest.

All the while the "wizards" knew that this "seasonal" changes would happen at specific times of the year based on the star map and progression of the sun on the dial. After so many years of recording daily progression a pattern appeared and the "wizards" formulated an annuim progression and then could simply look at the tables that were recorded to accurately predict the next phase of the seasons.

When I was a teenager, my family went on holiday near Salisbury, and we visited Stonehenge. The photos really don't do it justice, and I've been fascinated by it ever since. I've often wondered what it looked like when it was new, whether or not the stones we see now were even visible, or were they the stone bones of a grander wooden building.

Then, more recently, I learnt of Die Glocke (German for The Bell), which is another story that sparks the imagination, of time travelling Nazis. The only remaining evidence of it is a concrete henge, a rig that housed the Bell, and there is speculation that the henge somehow gathered or contained energy, possibly from ley lines, and powered the Bell in it's transit through time.

It made me wonder, could that have been the original purpose of Stonehenge. I accept the possibility that life exists elsewhere in the universe, civilisations that were old before we were young. I believe that there could be civilisations out there who have passed the point where they view the universe as "out there", in the same way that many people today view themselves as citizens of the world instead of one particular country.

I believe it's possible that many of these ancient sites, like the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, could be actually quite ordinary, functional pieces of equipment, installed by one of these civilisations on arrival on a new world, to generate and manipulate power.

Archaeologists are very quick to label things as temples or tombs. I daresay in 1000 years that archaeologists of that time could decide that Wembley stadium was a temple (although, they may not be too far off the mark with that one). Just because we in our ignorance label something as a temple has no bearing on what the building was actually used for.

One of the finer phrases I've seen on this forum; yes time travelling Nazis!
