The Impact of Sacred Geometry on Ancient Cultures
Ancient megalithic structures, such as Stonehenge, are believed to embody sacred geometry linked to astrological observations. This geometry reflects a cosmological understanding that predated the generally accepted Neolithic period, suggesting deeper roots in Mesolithic practices. The argument posits that the construction of these structures required a dedicated workforce, which could have been organized matrilineally, enabling the creation of these sites without the necessity of settled agriculture. By analyzing sites like Shalta Hayak in Turkey, evidence points to a sophisticated astronomical worldview that reflects a structured approach to the cosmos long before recorded agriculture.
