Evergreen Dazed"Ok, is the leeway due to different monuments with same orientation but looking towards different horizon heights, but the same number of days counting? [/quot wrote:


Accepting that counting was the method , that could explain close similarities and variation due to different horizon . It would work , but it would result in much tighter groupings of orientations ,and I'm not convinced that is what punters would do .

Yes, so if I understand, group As (geographical group?) monuments would, depending on horizon height be broadly similar orientations.

Whereas Bs would be slightly different but both sets would be similar. [/quot wrote:


No , B's could be similarish but also dramatically different .
e.g. all of the 84 dolmens in Provence all face between 206-286 whereas 90 miles away , all of the 137 recorded dolmens in Aveyron have none facing that quarter with the majority facing 76-135 degrees .
A slightly different case due to the temporal and architectural differences is Court Tombs and Wedge tombs where the majority of former face 16-125 and the latter have none facing that quarter but face 226-28

So those monuments cannot be based on counting because there is no particular indicator, yes? No 'm

Yes , there is no banana .
