Stonehenge was Designed as Solar Calendar, Archaeologist Says archaeology science
argues that the numerology of Stonehenge’s sarsen elements materializes a perpetual calendar based on a tropical solar year of 365.25 days.The ensemble of sarsen structures at Stonehenge is unique in north-western Europe.
Later, they advanced its interpretation as a ‘Neolithic computer,’ aligned to eight extreme positions of the Sun and the Moon, for the purposes of time-reckoning and predicting eclipses. “Now, discoveries brought the issue into sharper focus and indicate the site was a calendar based on a tropical solar year of 365.25 days.”
He identified a solar calendar in their layout, suggesting they served as a physical representation of the year that helped the ancient inhabitants of Wiltshire keep track of the days, weeks, and months.“Each of the 30 stones in the sarsen circle represents a day within a month, itself divided into three weeks each of 10 days. Distinctive stones in the circle mark the start of each week.”
