He said there are about two dozen alignments that he has documented
in the tower. He began publicizing this information in 1992.

Some of the explanations of the alignments get complex. For example,
from one location in the park, using a stepladder, you could look
through the top of one window and the bottom of another window and
see the full moon rising on the horizon during the Lunar Major on
June 11, 2006."

Someone I know found Pi, Phi and the circumference of the Earth
encoded in his bathroom. :-)


This is rediculous. What a load of bull.


Yes, but I like the idea of an alignment that you can only see by
climbing a stepladder. It shows the twisted sense of humour those Viking
builders had.

Alan, neither you nor Doug seem to be especially skilled in alignment nor
are you specialists in building patterns, neither in the past nor present.
Had you known more about this you wouldn't have joked about stepladder. The
tower seen today definitely lack at least one floor/roof construction a bit
above the valves. If you look closer at photos taken from within you could
see where that once was. You also could, had you been inside many of the
round churches of 11th-12th century also seen same type oc construction for
a more practical stair. So don't joke of thinks you aren't capable at all to
judge!
