"The evidence suggests that hunter-gatherer societies in Scotland had both the need and sophistication to track time across the years, to correct for seasonal drift of the lunar year and that this occurred nearly 5,000 years before the first formal calendars known in the Near East.
"In doing so, this illustrates one important step towards the formal construction of time and therefore history itself."

How cool...this is just up the road from where I am. We have so many megaliths and stone circles here...maybe there is a connection.

So now you must acknowledge your responsibility to visit, record and report your findings. Right?
Peace

What a thing to say to someone on a Monday morning
But agreed... Cait, you have just become our official reporter in your area in order to obtain facts, photos and historical evidence, so you know what you are going to be doing for the next 200 weekends or so! (Or between moments trying to grab something to eat, smoke, drink, sleep, live etc etc etc...)
Kindest respects

Guys..guys... God almighty....I'm quite happy to investigate, but how much I will actually find out may be limited...I just started a business, am trying to find my mum another house as well as painting my own, and now I have archeologicals to do as well. Just as well I don't have kids!
Seriously though...I will see what I can dig up for you all....haha!

Ummm....love you...but...no!
Seriously though, I just occurred to me that this calendar thingy might be another end of all time scenario hatching. What if they interpret it and find we have three and a half weeks left, and the Aztecs were almost right? Hmmm? This digging up of calendars has got to stop. I'm going to sneak in and rebury it when they're not looking. Or maybe re-configure it. Or add stuff to it. Any suggestions?
Well.. it still gives you 3 and a half weeks to paint my hallway!]
Ohh gawwdddd, please don't mention the aztec calender and the end of time...you are going to trigger some loonies off! and how the buggery are you going to sneak in and bury that big massive thing? you would need at least 20 bulldozers!
Kindest respects
