An aerial view of a 5,000-year-old stone cairn and other structures in southern Alberta that a maverick Edmonton scientist believes are the central features of an ancient sun temple and calendar that accurately marks the solstices and the equinoxes.
Ping, aye.
See what was done before the couch potato!
Seems I’ve seen that sort of configuration before... but where? Hmmmmm......
Dear, come take a look....
Oh yeah! Now I’ve got it.
Yeh, but back then "genius" was a bow and arrow instead of a hand thrown, or stabbing, spear.
Did mankind know about seasons, phases of the moon, etc?
Sure they did, it was all around them. They marked the spring summer, fall, and winter equinoxes. It is pretty much a given that when the sun stops drifting in one direction and starts going in reverse that someone is going to notice.
Eventually someone will make the discovery that so many days after one of these events the plants start budding and growing, or so many days after another of these events it gets colder.
That's not genius, that's attention to detail.
stones marking the time, particularly the time for planting are apparently very common. No genius, just someone who figured out that it would be easier to find out beforehand when the next planting season begun.
I thought Dr. Gordon Freeman was an astrophysicist... HL Rules!
Man’s been smart since God made him.
Ok well lately we’ve gone ‘round the bend and elected Obama.
I hate to say it, but I am not overly impressed.
