No mention of the snails paced procession southwards at noon , maybe next week . Even when leaving aside the error in the western alignment and reasoning for the mid point procession ,what was scary is that nobody ,either prog production or worse any of the huge numbers involved seems to have picked up on the obvious circular reasoning in the explanation for the “intersection “ . The script : “When the position of the pits were computer modelled against movements of the sun “ (note , no mention of the site the movements were being modelled from .) “ Their true importance became clear , the calculation “(note there is no calculation merely a recording of the solstice rise and set from one point ) “showed that on midsummers day the eastern pits alignment with the sun set and western pits alignment with sun set “(note , the fact that it is unsighted from the monument and is not on the line of the alignment is less important in relation to the logical error , for the moment ) “ intersect” (note, the crux of the tautology , of course they would intersect there if that is where you are recording the phenomena from in the first instance ) at the location of where Stonehenge would be built some 400 years later .” A less important potential problem is the date of the pits ,they are undated , they could post date the construction of monument .


Presumably these latest revelations will be manna from heaven for EH and the Visitor Centre, but does anybody check out the alignment claims to see if they are correct, or just take it for granted that they know what they are talking about? Just asking.



Just take it for granted that they know what they are talking about .
Further the refutations have data whilst the claims only have graphics ,but it is not only the data it's the logic that is also flawed .


Shouldn't they be told then George?
