Reply to comment by MerelyMortalModeling in The 'Stonehenge calendar' shown to be a modern construct by osaba_mozkorra

I mean the only thing you can do is study the structure itself. They already understand that it's not a precise machine, but enough study had been done to say there was some less precise monitoring of the sun and moon.

I just don't understand how you make the jump from oh hey they had somewhat of an idea to they had everything figured out.

Did I?

To answer that, no, I didn't. But after seeing this, i did a 5-second google survey and found articles stating this study " debunked" and "proved." The article linked here uses the word "shown," and you have to get 4 paragraphs in before words like "proposed" get used.

So while i didn't make that jump other people did

And to be clear, I dont support the author they are going after in any way. The notion that northwest europeans in Britian communicated enough with Eastern Mediterranean cultures (Egyptians) to obtain, understand, and utilize their calendar system in 2500 bce is sort of silly.

I wasn't saying you specifically. I'm saying the people who believe in advance ancient megalithic lost civilizations.
