Some day some one is going to explain to me why aligning a
structure to an
easily observed direction is impressive. I mean there isn't much to look
at if
you are outside at night and it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to
identify
interesting events. Maybe not one person but the passed down trivia from
as many
generation back as humans or pre-humans became interested in events in
the night
sky. And the idea it was something reserved for shamans ... Anyone with
decent
eyesight could see the same thing.

Impressive is predicting eclipses and things that do not repeat
their cycle in
a single lifetime.

Take something more interesting from antiquity , like the entry of
light through a passageway on Dec 21st and a few days either side of
it -

http://www.iol.ie/~geniet/eng/newgrang.htm

Maybe people like you will wake up someday and realise that to create
the effect like that where the appearance of the Sun on the horizon at
the same time on Dec 21 st every year generates the light spectacle
in the inner chamber requires that you do not use a calendrical 1461
day calendrical cycle broken up into 3 years of 365 days and 1 year
of 366 days.

I will make it easy for you,our civilisation,at least in astronomical
matters,is so dumb and stupid that they could not build what those
people did over 5 200 years ago.Of course you have no dignity and have
no respect for the care which people like the Newgrange people and
many others from all over the world like them took in creating the
astronomical cyclical markers.

Could make an ultra accurate calendar. Don't want to. What we have is good
enough and changing it would be a bleep because many of our neighbors use
basically the same calendar and that is handy. Most people don't want it
changed anyway.

Thanks for bringing some sanity into this.


Nobody here has the neccessary intelligence to recognise that you
need the equable 24 hour day first before you can create the calendar
system which is based on a 1461 day cycle split into 3 years of 365
days and 1 year of 366 days.There are two seperate systems involved in
creating the 24 hour day and the calendar system,the wisdom of our
ancestors was designing a system which uses the daily cycle and
extending it to a calendrical system which corrects thing
astronomically every 4th year.

"Don't want to" is the response of a child that is too lazy or too
silly to venture into the sprawling creation of the clock/calendar
system that we use today.





I will tell you what is iompressive,how a civilisation cannot even get
the basic correlation between clocks in sync with axial rotation right

Don't want to besides atomic time is good enough for me. The heavens are a
little off.

Yep. Atomic time lets me catch my trains on time, that'll do me.

So much for archaeologists,the exquisite principle which keeps clocks
in sync with axial rotation at precisely 4 minutes for each degree of
rotation and you opt for an consensus driven alternative value that
emerged in the late 17th century -

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/JennyChen.shtml

This is no minor error made in an obscure region of human
endeavor,this is an error that is so enormous and obvious that to
manage to avoid it takes more effort that to acknowledge it.Men do not
do these things,sucessful people do not tolerate a serious error yet
this is what is happening.

The great care which our ancestors took in seperating the clock and
calendar systems by using different cycles is a incredible sight to
behold with familiarity,presently that ability to give our ancestors
the admiration they truly deserve is blocked by a ridiculous 17th
century 'proof for axial rotation' which led to the 23 hour 56 minute
04 second value.Considering that archaeologists are willing to ignore
the recent hiostory of the Longitude problem where accurate clocks
were built to keep in sync with axial rotation in 24 hours/360 degrees
none of your comments on ancient timekeeping systems will mean much.

Sanity !,I can tell you all about the insanity of the common place
mind who can write something like this -

'Period Of Rotation
"The actual value is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This is the
length of a "sidereal" day. It is the actual time it takes the Earth
to rotate 360 degrees. The term "sidereal" (pronounced sigh-dear'-
real) refers to the rotation of the Earth being measured relative to
the stars. There ARE 24 hours in a "solar day". This is the time it
takes from one noon (sun overhead) to the next noon. The difference in
the two "days" arises from the fact that during a day the Earth also
travels nearly a degree further on its yearly trek around the Sun. "
NASA

In comparison to the exquisite details of the two step process which
keeps clocks in sync with axial rotation ,the above explanation which
uses the 'distant stars' is so much destructive vandalism that only
diseased minds would go along with it.
