Episode notes
Megalithic Yard Reveals Advanced Knowledge
- Alexander Thom discovered a precise unit of measurement, the megalithic yard, at ancient sites across Europe.
- This unit linked these constructions to advanced geometry and astronomy, challenging conventional views of Neolithic knowledge.
Ancient Sites as Astronomical Machines
- Megalithic structures functioned as sophisticated astronomical instruments and calendars.
- They tracked solstices, lunar cycles, and eclipses with remarkable accuracy over generations.
Megalithic Yard and Earth's Circumference
- The megalithic yard aligns with a theoretical 366-degree circle system to precisely measure Earth's circumference.
- This suggests Neolithic people understood planetary dimensions long before modern science.
