Sinopse

Stonehenge and Other British Stone Monuments Astronomically Considered is a book written by Norman Lockyer that examines the astronomical significance of various stone monuments in Britain, including Stonehenge. Lockyer, a noted astronomer and archaeologist, presents a detailed analysis of the alignment of these ancient structures with celestial bodies and argues that they were used as astronomical observatories by the people who built them. The book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to support Lockyer?s theories, as well as detailed descriptions of the various stone monuments and their historical context. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of astronomy, archaeology, and history, and sheds light on the remarkable achievements of ancient peoples in understanding the movements of the stars and planets.1909.
