Summer solstice….
Even though it was constructed in prehistoric times, roughly 4-5,000 years ago, Stonehenge (above) in England measures and marks, among other things, the setting sun on the Summer solstice each year (and the rising sun on the opposite Winter solstice).
The Summer solstice – popularly known as the “longest day of the year” – comes on June 20/21 (depending on your location on Earth).
Even in those ancient times, measurement of the position of the Earth relative to Sun….and its attendant effect on the seasons….was of vital importance. It meant survival….or starvation and freezing.
Although not as dramatic now in the 21st century, at least we can mark it as the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere.
Summer….and all its attendant primal, emotional, physical and psychic effects on human beings (not to mention critical effects on every other living thing on Earth).
And, so it begins….Summer….and lasts for the next 91 days….until Autumn arrives, with its own set of rules for us living things.

This report began as a simple re-examination of the design features of Stonehenge beginning seriously in 2002. It is a book of questions and perhaps, the reader will eventually decide, a few answers. The author wondered whether any relationships existed between Stonehenge features and whether such relationships could help confirm or reject the many claims of links to astronomical phenomena, namely the cycles and movements of the Moon, Earth and Sun.
Either we have coincidences of ‘astronomical’ or indeed ‘monumental’ improbability linking monument features to the geometries of regular polygons and Pythagorean triangles , the Golden Section, phi and numerous lunar/solar/terran parameters and cycles, or something is very wrong with our assumptions about the knowledge and sophistication of the megalith builders.
