Un profesor susține că Stonehenge a fost un calculator antic

In August 1966, an American astronomy professor proposed that Neolithic circular megalithic monuments were built to predict solar eclipses. Gerald Hawkins suggested in his book "Stonehenge Deciphered" that Stonehenge functioned as a prehistoric calculator for tracking the Moon's trajectory and predicting eclipses, which were significant cosmic events for ancient Britons. He demonstrated that the 56 holes in the largest circle of Stonehenge corresponded to a lunar cycle model, serving as a counting tool for eclipse predictions. Hawkins emphasized that Stonehenge was both an astronomical observatory and a temple, reflecting the importance of the Sun and Moon in ancient beliefs.
