Stonehenge Solved?"Handing us the 'Why' on a silver platter, Solving the Neolithic Universe is presented in an easily digestible form, with step-by-step explanations of every facet of the theme. Illustrated with hand-renderings, in addition to CGI, Mr Morris guides the reader to their own epiphany in an extraordinarily cohesive explanation for the ultimate Purpose of this enigmatic wonder." ND Wiseman, Author, Cape Cod, USA''Overall I found this publication highly readable, being both informative and slightly controversial.''''The one thing that makes this book a winner is the fact that it's central theory is not a house of cards.'' ''Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in Stonehenge.''Simon Charlesworth, Reviewer for The Megalithic Portal. DescriptionCurrent opinion of Neolithic times imposes medieval roles on men and women: Women as chattels, men as warriors and monuments as places of worship and human sacrifice.But what if a patriarchal society did not exist before history was recorded? What if the knowledge of the time before was destroyed and it is us who are just beginning to recover what they had?This fully illustrated e-book, by a Fellow of two engineering institutions, puts forward a detailed and fully developed alternative interpretation for Stonehenge based on recent research into renewable energy: It shows how its plan layout is the same as an idealized geocentric (fixed world) description of the Universe; its inner stone monument is shown to be capable of creating a spectacular visual description of a the sun's movement around a fixed world.Part 2 shows examples of where that early knowledge of the Universe could have been obtained. It also shows that, in all the locations needed, the monuments of that period appear to fit that which would be required. Part 3 is about how the monuments would be perceived: It shows how mythological and Arthurian references all appear to fit this explanation of Stonehenge and other monuments. This offers an alternative explanation for the Grail and the Four Treasures of.the Tuatha Dé Danann.Part 4 looks at the most recent evidence published in 2012.Part 5 summarizes the possibilities with references in part 6.… (more)

Very interesting, and very plausible. I would love to read a critique of this theory from a Stonehenge scholar. ( )
