'Sat-nav' 5,000 BC
Sep 15, 2009, 22:34
I feel sure this has been discussed before however following article
appeared in todays SUN newspaper.

"Stone Age man used a crude version of sat nav to point the way to their
settlements a historian claimed yesterday.
More than 1,500 stone circle hilltop sites in England and Wales formed part
of a giant network.
A series of triangles - some 100 miles long - pointed to the next settlement in the grid. British expert Tom Brooks said our ancestors in 5000 BC had 'a complex understanding of geometry '.

I'm not personally sure I agree with this particular viewpoint however it
could be possible in some cases and wondered what peoples thoughts were ?
