NascoBLOG 13
c) William James Veall
Hello and Welcome to NascoBlog13, March 2014.
We left NascoBlog12 last January in the middle of the discussion "Just how old is the 'Geometriglyph'? We had arrived at a date between 1100 BC and 800 BC but then some comparative research showed a strange anomaly; alignment of a Geometrigyph template over the ground plan of the famous Stonehenge Monument, in the UK, threw up some quite remarkable coincidences.
When the Summer Solstice Sunrise azimuthal, i.e the alignment running due N.E from the Geometriglyph's centre point - was superimposed over the same on a ground plan of the Stonehenge Monument, one could not help but notice a number of intriguing coincidences which you can see deliniated on Illustration 1 and Table 1, above.
Notice how the N - S meridian of the Geometriglyph (Stations 66 - 33) conjoins exactly Station Stone 94 to the opposite Station Stone 92; the alignment also being a diagonal of the Stonehenge Station Stone Rectangle. Respective N/S meridians were approxiamately 13.5º apart.
This is how I discovered that the Geometriglyph cannily mirrors the 'Station Stone Rectangle' where the solsticial sun and maximum moon extremes align at an (almost) exact right angle - the only place in the world where such a unique phenomenum occurs. How on earth did the Old World architects of the Geometriglyph calculate this event occurs only at the exact latitude and longtitude of a place on the map that we in the modern world call 'Stonehenge'. Why was this remote spot, so far away in the New World, special to an ancient civilisation?
It is important to understand that the Station Stones Rectangle will only perform within one half of a degree north or south of the latitude of Stonehenge. Any place else in the World the rectangle becomes a parallelogram; this is what makes its unique placement so mysteriously intriguing. One can readily accept an astronomical reason, but what was the real purpose behind this 'on the spot' meeting of the sun and moon?
Above, I have printed out for you a copy of Illustration 1: Stonehenge overlaid with the basic Geometriglyph's elements which you can see coincide almost exactly to leave one in no doubt that the two are one and the same. To make life easy, I have added Table 1 of the essential coincidentals.
Here I must emphasise that I am not saying that Egyptians, Phoenicians or even the ancient Greeks actually 'constructed' this stone henge. To the best of my knowledge there is nothing in the archaeological record that supports a massive 'Old World' led enterprise. What I am setting out to prove is a form of metrology based upon pure geometrics and a universal unit of measurement, spread on an international scale from at least 4000 BC and it was this (stone circle) design facility that was subsequently 'imported' into an Early Neolithic - Bronze Age, Britain. More about this in NascoBlog14.
Let us pause for a moment to complete answering the topic question - the age of the Geometrigylph? Its almost unquestionable relationships with Megalithic structures down through the Ages from the time of the Pyramids of ancient Egypt (even the slope length of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the radius of the Geometriglyph are inter-related) to Stonehenge (2800 BC), suggests a life span circa 4000 BC unto, perhaps, the final elaboration of the Nasca/Palpa Geoglyphs which had almost certainly drawn to a close by AD 690 due to extensive desertification ("Portraits of the Gods" Nascodex Publications 2010). A time scale stretching back some 5000 years.
Interactive question: Now here is your interactive question: Bearing in mind the date of Stonehenge Phase1 (circa 2800 BC) and the arrival of 'overseas' Traders for gold and tin to south west Britain; Do you think this had any influence on the choice of location for the Stonehenge Monument. If so, what?
Next month's NascoBlog14 will examine more relationships between the Geometriglyph, Stonehenge and other major stone circles of the UK in an attempt to answer the question," So, just who did build Stonehenge"?
Till we meet again, All Best Wishes and I look forward to some interesting answers to the interactive question.
