I think my TomTom maps ARE 5,000 years old.

Nothing new in this....ley lines have been mentioned for many years. They were in use thousands of years ago and will still be reliable in the future

Nope - I think they were smelling haggis from different camps.

People have been very smart for a very long time. Treating our progenitors as anything less is simply wrong IMO.

The way to verify if this was a system or not should be relatively easy. If the purpose of ‘A’ and ‘B’ is navigation, then check out the path between ‘A’ and ‘B’. If you consider the immense labor involved in building such points, then either there was a great deal of traffic, or the points had a significance other than navigation.

I suspect there was another reason, because ordinary road markers are a much easier way of doing this, and were pretty common in the ancient world.

That reminds me of a fibonacci spiral.

The implication is that the huge Stone Age “monuments” were built for navigational purposes so early Englishmen could find their way about the countryside.

If there was enough foot and horse traffic to warrant the immense effort needed to build all those Stone Age “monuments” wouldn’t the traffic have beaten down a path through the woods that the canny English could follow without building a ‘monument’???

I mean, come on, follow the yellow mud road, guys and ye’ll get to Scotland afore me.
