20. The geometry of Holme II proved impossible to resolve without the aid of the megalithic inch.  Furthermore, without the "inch," Holme II was impossible to build. 

We also find that the timber posts respected the Stone Age 10-degree rule.  I show those that aim at the cardinal points.

Geometry is based, as is so often the case, on a pair of near-Pythagorean triangles.

21.  This Stonehenge model shows what the monument was meant to look like when and if it was ever finished. However, Stonehenge proved too complex to complete, with twin axes only 18 megalithic inches apart and stones already assembled getting in the way of those awaiting assembly. 

22.   The Society of Antiquaries of London produced this plan of the sarsen and bluestone building to show the result of restoring Stone 56 to the vertical in 1901. This was at a time when the society believed that Stonehenge had a single axis that passed centrally through the gap of the Great Trilithon. We show the primary axis in dotted red.

 
The diagram appears to be a piecemeal version of Flinders Petrie's 1880 plan, and we have superimposed his plan in red to highlight the differences. 

 
Petrie believed that Stone 10 was correctly placed, which led him to develop a figure for the internal diameter of the sarsen circle of 35.75 megalithic yards. However, we now realise that Stone 10 is misplaced and that Stone 11 is the more accurate. Thirty-six megalithic yards is the currently recognised figure for Stonehenge's inside diameter.

 
Other points of interest are...

Stone 27 was leaning in towards the middle of the circle in 1901. Petrie's version correctly stands on the 36 MY circle.

Stone 22 fell onto Trilithon Stone 58 sometime between Petrie's survey and 1901.

 
The 110-foot scale is accurate, but the north arrow is three degrees out. 

23.  John Wood's 1740 survey of Stonehenge is placed on top of a 1964 aerial photograph.

Professor John North stated that the 56 Aubrey holes were placed on a 104-megalithic-yard-diameter circle. Hawkins claimed it was 105.  So, who is right?

Only 32 of the Aubrey holes have been excavated; the remaining 24 were found by thumping the ground with a mallet and listening for the hollow sound excavated soil makes.

Furthermore, to my knowledge, accurate cartesian coordinates of the 32 excavated Aubrey holes have never been made.  And those measurements would not be passed on to independent researchers anyway!

However, a vertical photograph of Stonehenge was taken from 1000 feet up in 1963, which shows the painted-white concrete caps that cover the holes.  Hawkins presents these photos in both of his books.  Presumably, that is how he arrived at 105 for the circle's diameter.  Otherwise, scales were not necessary or given.

The architect John Wood produced the most accurate survey of the stone building, which included the Heel Stone and the two remaining Station Stones, 1 and 3. 

I have superimposed Wood's survey on top of the 1963 aerial photograph to scale it.  According to Wood, the distance from Cypher A - (a small yellow circle) to Cypher R (another yellow circle) is 78.62 MY. (Cypher: Old English)

Interestingly, we can now see that the Slaughter Stone has been moved slightly inward since 1740, when John surveyed it.

More importantly, if not oval, Hawkins was right to claim the Aubrey Circle to measure 105 megalithic yards. 

I show some 50-degree lines that the Aubrey holes describe. There would be many more if all 56 positions were known. The position of the posts that mark the Cardinals would be known, too!

Did the station stones define the position of Stonehenge's primary or secondary axis?

It seems more than likely that the four stations were placed on the corners of a rectangle measuring 96 by 40 megalithic yards to give a pair of back-to-back triangles having hypotenuses of 104 MY. 

This rectangle's centre point seems to concur with the sarsen circle's centre and the primary axis.

24. The Stonehenge Avenue.

This avenue connects the river Avon to Stonehenge.  It starts, not ends, from the West Amesbury henge and, by its geometry, carried a wish that Stonehenge would grow into something much bigger. 

It starts at twenty degrees and becomes twice-sized at 40 when it approaches Stonehenge.

Also, the radius of the massive bend starts at 375 Megalithic Yards and grows to 750 before continuing to Stonehenge.  Both arcs are straight lifts from Avebury's geometry.

What was the good of the Stonehenge Riverside Project?

The West Amesbury Henge was partially investigated in 2008 when nine of a possible 24 post holes forming a circle were excavated. The circular form of these nine holes is similar to Woodhenge and Stonehenge's Aubrey Holes and is difficult to ignore. They must have held timber posts, not bluestones.  

The remaining 15 post holes are closer to the river. Some are in it.   Wood survives well when kept wet. Therefore, the 15 unexcavated post positions are begging for further investigation.

Our latest acquisition.

We have successfully deciphered the geometry of Ring C, Site IV, found inside the henge in the middle of the enormous henge at Mount Pleasant in Dorset. Site IV provides compelling evidence that it adheres to the enigmatic megalithic inch, as do rings D and E. 

Following the arrangement of all five egg shapes at the heart of Site IV, the beaker people meticulously repositioned many posts. This resulted in the creation of several geometric shapes reminiscent of Stonehenge's artefacts of gold, as seen in the section on Stonehenge gold. This also explains the apparent misplacement of numerous posts.

25. The surveyor, John Wood Senior, famous for having designed the Crescent and Circus in the City of Bath, was the first to properly survey Stonehenge in 1740.  

A CAD version (Computer Aided Design) of Wood’s survey, plotted in Megalithic Yards at the rate of 0.83 meters, is shown above. 

John Wood Senior used Stonehenge to train his apprentice son, John Wood Junior, in surveying. 

Requiring over 800 measurements, Wood’s 1740 survey has never been bettered.

Wood's survey is especially important for being produced before the collapse of Trilithon 4.

This plan was reviewed by somebody (Obviously one of the boys) who reviews books for a magazine about ghosts and has effectively shut my book "Stonehenge 1740 AD" down for working to six decimal places.  However, those figures were produced on a calculator, and reducing them to please the awkward while maintaining accuracy would require more trouble than it’s worth. 

Those who planned and designed Stonehenge had passed away long before its completion, and those charged with finishing it would come to learn the impossibility of the task. The more stones they put up, the more those stones impeded the placement of others.  

Only a modern crane, able to insert stones vertically and in the right place, would be capable of building Stonehenge.  Also, the stone building would have to be completed before its geometry, scribed in chalk subsoil, was washed away.  Stonehenge was just too technical to complete.  

Also, the hypothesis required a henge to be built alongside the river Avon at the start of Stonehenge Avenue (some wrongly say end).  Archaeologists found this henge in 2008/9 and named it 'The West Amesbury Henge.'  

Timber posts stood in the West Amesbury henge's circular holes, not stones.  This simple fact contradicts archaeological claims that Stonehenge is situated in an area reserved for the dead!

Stonehenge and its 1,000 associated stone circles were follies built in search of something never to be found.  Designed, dismantled, and rebuilt many times over, Stonehenge was a product of procrastination by people who could not make up their minds. They were, after all, attempting the impossible.

So, why did they want to make the moon pregnant?

Early farmers in Britain wanted a second sun to warm them in wintertime and produce crops year-round.  Built to collect, reflect and amplify sunlight, as does a modern-day LASER, Stonehenge was to be that baby sun.

The Nebra sky disc is an oval or egg based on two circles of 14 and 13 megalithic inch diameters with centres spaced 1.5 megalithic inches apart. A pair of blend radii of nine megalithic inches cast from Pythagorean triangles completes the egg profile.

Here, we see another example of the megalithic yard being divided into eighty parts.

This artefact was buried inside a causewayed enclosure near Nebra in Germany around 1700 BC. However, the tin used in its manufacture and some of its gold came from Cornwall in England.

We do not need to be told why a Bronze Age person, or persons, should want to place the sun and moon inside an egg! 

This is my rendition of an artefact of gold held in the Dorset Museum.

Like the Nebra Sky Disc, this artefact represents the cosmos for bringing the Sun, the Moon, and the stars together in one place.

Professionals who have studied the Nebra sky disc say its circle of gold could represent the Sun or a full moon. Why not an orange or a tomato? The same investigators have suggested that the crescent could be a crescent Moon or Sun undergoing an eclipse. Such contradictions get us nowhere. The circle represents the sun. The crescent represents the Moon.

We also suspect that the people who built the Nebra sky disc also manufactured the "Dorset sky plate" seen above before returning to Germany.

Eight hundred years before the Nebra sky disc was buried by its owners, a beaker person was buried with beaker pottery beneath Durrington Walls' western bank, only two miles from Stonehenge. Two radiocarbon dates taken from the ashes of a fire proved this person's burial occurred in 2650 BC. This proves that beaker folk were the great geometers who designed the sarsen building of Stonehenge.

This abstract was first published in the book “Stonehenge Secrets” when few understood the thinking behind it. It’s a picture that conveys Neolithic people's thoughts when they built stone circles, drew hieroglyphs on stone, produced expressive artefacts of gold and made chalk phalli.

The image shows a moon-egg being fertilised by the Sun. It would have been more expressive if the fertilising agent had been sunlight, but sunlight proved impossible to draw.
