Greetings Guys, You may care to view my book website info to expand your Stonehenge site data. It derives from my Monash University doctorate thesis,
I will gladly respond to any queries or comments.
Renowned record of ancient times STONEHENGE SACRED SYMBOLISM reveals a family of inscriptions, at Knowth the Irish monument built about 3500 BC, are the earliest comprehensive writing and arithmetic portrayals in human history. They describe the Heavens behaviour, Sun and Moon calendars, eight major festivals every year.
Stonehenge Sacred Symbolism reveals the Bible’s Old Testament tale of Sodom and Gomorrah’s disappearance actually occurred about 2250 BC. Scientific data explains why a world-wide catastrophic event saw Egypt, India, China, the Americas, Britain, Malta, Palestine, Jordan, Sumeria suffer starvation, cold and drought conditions. Empires collapsed and humanity reverted to a basic frugal life for centuries until the weather improved.
Stonehenge Sacred Symbolism tells how England’s ancient Stonehenge, Mount Pleasant, Woodhenge and Durrington Walls were all built for an exact purpose. Stonehenge’s eighty sandstone monoliths and eighty smaller bluestones tallied a Sun calendar of sixteen months a year, four weeks a month, five days a week, 365 days a year. It was also a Moon calendar of twelve months a year, six weeks of five days each month, a year of 354 days. Moon eclipse cycles were known. Names of the Coligny twelve Moon calendar months are translated from Celtic as Summer, Second, Third, Hoard, Ogre, Shelter, Winter, Budswell, Lambing, Spring, Between and Full Circle.
The sea-linked peoples of the north-west - Ireland, Britain and western Europe have much in common. Deities, legends and myths, Sun and Moon calendars, all are revealed in Stonehenge Sacred Symbolism.

The Monash University Research Review Editor says ‘‘Remnants of Briton and Irish Neolithic cultures have survived to the present day. Evidence of the extraordinary feats can be found in Stonehenge, as well as other great prehistoric monuments, according to the radical – perhaps definitive – explanation of their design and purpose put forward by a Monash researcher. He describes the likely role of the enigmatic Long Man of Wilmington giant figure carved into the Sussex hillside, is that of a surveyor. Far from being herdsmen and hunter gatherers, the inhabitants of Ireland and Britain performed prodigious feats of surveying, design and engineering.’’
‘‘The ancient Britons of 4500 years ago already understood the special properties of right-angled triangles, they also knew the relationship between a circle’s diameter and its circumference, pi = 22/7. The village of Avebury, almost due north of Stonehenge, actually lies in the centre of the largest stone circle in Britain. The book’s author suggests the great ring at Avebury may have been the spiritual capital of prehistoric Britain, and its design is the physical embodiment of the Norse creation myth (of mankind’s earth). Norse legends and an Icelandic saga of AD 930 describe a temple of similar design to the one at Avebury dedicated to the god Thor. Avebury’s Obelisk stone corresponds to Thor’s stone, on which the bones of sacrificial victims were broken before they were sent to heaven. Many other megalithic rings (of standing stones) in Britain and Europe feature the same circle and central pillar.’’ Graeme O’Neill, past Science Correspondent of ‘The Age’ newspaper published in Australia.
I have read your book with interest. It brought back memories of my earliest forays into this and similar topics in the 60s and 70s. Your scholarly work is, no doubt, a worthy contribution to the field and having been through the review process of university scholarship, is polished to publication standard. Manuscript assessor Mr John Wooller.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Nebra sky disc. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 11:01, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Greetings Doug Weller,
I knew I should not cite original research theses in a contribution, but the relative complexity of reading and understanding the Wikipedia rules is a bit tough for an 87 year old.
Part of the problem is what you may actually mean by a word is not quite what I mean by that word here in Melbourne Australia. Another major problem is my original research has uncovered stuff not known elsewhere, therefore there cannot be a reference from other sources. It is a revolving door. The archaeological establishment in the UK do not take kindly to being told stuff by a Colonial from the antipodes. They will not listen.
For instance, the design and construction of Stonehenge 2300 BC is a realtively sophisticated application and blend of the Fibonacci progressive arithmetic series. Every column and pillar if fully accounted for, none omitted, none left over. Better still, eight hundred years before, the original mathematical idea was a construct in Denmark, 3100 BC. That is the earliest in human history. My attached jpeg images explain. Observe the copyright dates.
A few months ago I realised the first writing in human history was the oak log carving "The Rhondda Calendar" dated 4270 BC, two millennia before the Egyptians. It is the Sun calendar that is the same at Stonehenge, Woodhenge, Mount Pleasant, the Sanctuary, Durrington Walls, in England third millennium BC. There is so much to tell it is too hard in a short email to offer anything more than teasers. Try Amazon Kindle Books, enter < Neil L. Thomas >> in the pane. Choose "Stonehenge Sacred Symbolism" and peruse the precis. I would suggest you download the book, 125,000 words and a hundred images, but that is up to you.
Neil.
- The timber you call a calendar is fascinating, thanks for bringing it to my attention.[1] More later. But in a nutshell, Wikipedia is not a venue for new ideas. That's just the way we work. Dougweller (talk) 10:03, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
