Woodhenge

38. Of all the monuments built during the time of Stonehenge, Woodhenge, which is less than two miles away, proves what Stonehenge was meant to be.

Maud Cunnington stripped Woodhenge bare in 1926, 27 and 28. She then placed concrete posts where timber posts, fashioned from whole tree trunks, once stood in Bronze Age times. Our picture shows the Jenks brothers surveying the concrete posts by GPS in 2008 to produce what we know to be a moon egg. We will also prove archaeological corruption.

Many people think that the Woodhenge plan made by Professor Alexander Thom is the authoritative version. However, we dismiss Thom's plan as fraudulent for producing it undersized and skewing it clockwise to give preference to the sun.

39. Not quite the furthest possible northern moonrise, as these four pictures taken on January 11, 2025, and stitched together photographically, depict a moonrise that began 41 degrees from the north. Thus, it is two degrees short of the maximum Major Standstill, but this is sufficient to demonstrate that Woodhenge points at the moon and not the sun.

The moonrise was due at 13.07 in the afternoon, but thanks to fog in the Midlands, it did not appear until 13.40, and even then, it was only just visible. These daytime images appear dark because contrasts were increased photographically to make each moon stand out.

40. The summer solstice photo that forms the base of the above image was taken in 2009.

If this photo had been taken 4.500 years ago, the sun would be as shown.

Woodhenge consists of six unique geometric eggs based on Pythagorean triangles. These eggs were carefully measured using the megalithic yard. These eggs are not simple circles, as Professor Mike Parker Pearson said on TV. Professor Pearson is trying to fill our heads with misinformation.

The four outer eggs aim at the Major Standstill of the moon with a 40-degree clockwise-from-the-north axis.

The inner eggs, E and F, aim 50 degrees clockwise from the north and are therefore aligned on the summer solstice to fertilise Woodhenge while gathering the spirit of the girl child with a cleft skull buried in the middle of the monument. This suggests that the girl was sacrificed.

So, Woodhenge is one key that unlocks the hypothesis of Stonehenge. Avebury's West Kennet Avenue is another. What do you think Stone Age folks hoped to achieve by burying a girl inside a moon egg and fertilising it with sunlight?

Meanwhile, the information board on the site continues to claim that Woodhenge points at the sun. This board, like the original, is corrupt. Shifting the Open University on this issue has proved to be impossible.

I couldn't help but notice, on my January 2025 visit, that Professor Thom's datum post, which he placed in the middle of Woodhenge for his personal use, had been removed. This will prevent others from surveying the site in the same way as Thom did. It will also prevent future researchers from proving that Stonehenge is rife with archaeological corruption.

41. The Beaker People constructed Woodhenge. (And the sarsen stone circle of Stonehenge.)

The first Woodhenge mandate was to produce six timber eggs based on Pythagorean, or near-Pythagorean, triangles.

The second mandate was to align the outer eggs on the northernmost rising moon. Woodhenge, like the real moon, was considered female by the Stonehengers.

The third mandate was to place a few extra posts describing a 50-degree from the north corridor through Woodhenge to gather up the spirit of a girl child for fertilising the egg or eggs with intense summer solstice sunlight.

The fourth mandate was for the fertilised egg to exit through the only causeway left through Woodhenge's ditch and bank. This exit is aimed more northerly than the eggs and at the "Dark Sky", which our natural moon never visits. Where else would you want to deposit an artificial moon?

The fifth mandate was to describe the profiles of its six eggs while also obeying the Stone Age 10-degree rule. Perceived errors in post-placements are, therefore, deliberate.

52. I kid you not! This information board, photographed in 2002, states that Woodhenge is aligned with the summer solstice. This board has been replaced by another, which, despite protestations, once again wrongly claims Woodhenge to be aligned on the summer solstice.

The board states...

"Woodhenge is so-called because it was originally a wooden structure of a type similar to Stonehenge. It was probably set up during the Bronze Age c. 2000 BC, for ceremonial use. The concrete posts mark the positions of the original timbers, evidence for which was obtained by excavation. The rings are oval with the long axis aligned on the mid-summer sunrise. A bank with a ditch on the inner side surrounded the monument, which was entered by a causeway on the north-east."

Thoughts on this info....

A. The causeway was more of an exit than an entrance.

B. "It (Woodhenge) was probably set up during the Bronze Age c. 2000 BC."

Archaeologists have long denied that the Beaker people had anything to do with Stonehenge, but they were present in 2000 BC. No wonder the board has been replaced!

Further info. When archaeologists excavated the top of Sidbury Hill, they found its crest paved with water-rolled stones, probably collected from the river Avon. Some believe the stones were placed there to turn the world upside down. Remember the inverted tree in the middle of Seahenge, Norfolk?

47. With Stonehenge's axis aimed 50 degrees clockwise from the north, we consider the Stone Age ten-degree rule proven. Here, we have turned the survey of Woodhenge precisely 40 degrees anticlockwise to help establish the axis of symmetry of its four outer eggs.

The four outer eggs are centred on the same 40-degree axis and datum. The axis of symmetry is shown in blue. The 50-degree solstice corridor is marked in red lines. Note how the child's grave sits on the solstice corridor and away from the axis of the outer eggs.

When this survey is restored to respect the north, these four egg-shaped rings will point to where the northernmost moon hides beneath the base of Sidbury Hill.

48. The Stone Age 10-degree rule as applied to Woodhenge. The image respects the North.

Hugo Jenks deserves credit for discovering that the posts of Ring C depict multiple 10-degree angles. Further consideration showed that Hugo's 10-degree alignments should pass through all six rings, as described above.

We now understand why many posts seem to be in the wrong place. They are offset from the geometry to adhere to the Stone Age 10-degree rule. This rule is followed by Stonehenge, Durrington's Northern Circle, Arminghall Henge, Scottish Callanish 1, and many others.

Woodhenge's solstice corridor is precisely 50 degrees clockwise from the north, similar to Stonehenge.

51. Inner rings E and F are here shown together.

Rings E and F look along the 50-degree solstice corridor one degree before the solstice. Note how the corridor, precisely 10 degrees from the axis of symmetry of the outer eggs, frames the child's grave.

Due to the solstice sun having escaped much of the Earth's atmosphere before aligning with the corridor, intense sun rays slice through every egg before illuminating the child's grave.

The fact that Woodhenge was meant to be a moon egg and the Neolithic moon was considered female proves Maud to be correct in saying that the burial was probably that of a girl.

Woodhenge Hypothesis.

Despite its complexity, Woodhenge comes down to something as simple as a moon egg intended to be fertilised by the sun at the summer solstice and taking the child, or her spirit, with it.

The Woodhenge hypothesis implies that Stonehenge is for something equally simple - A baby sun!

54. The following is how Professor Alexander Thom corrupted his survey of Woodhenge to hide its true purpose.

This author has comprehensively shown that Woodhenge's eggs are aligned on the moon. So why do archaeologists still ignore the facts? For an answer, let's consider why Professor Alexander Thom made such a mess of his Woodhenge survey - AND, in his hand-written notes.

Please don’t try to understand Thom's grammar, for it is way over the top.

Thom's handwriting, seen on the right, says.....

"Survey was made with a tape having a stretch of 0.6% (to 0.5 at 50 feet). Hence the megalithic fathom would have measured 5.44 divided by 1.006 or 5.41 feet. Hence, 5.41 feet is the unit used in setting out this diagram. It is thus applicable to the survey plotted with no stretch correction."

Also, note his pencilled correction of ?0.4% when AT wonders if 0.4% might be better than 0.6%.

Thom's diagram on the left says...

"Tape stretch 0.6% on 100 feet, 0.5% on 50 feet. Note: The plot is of the raw material; therefore, any measurements taken from the plot must be increased by 0.6% or as shown above.

As you can see, AT complained that he had measured Woodhenge with a flexible tape and claimed to have estimated precisely how much was needed to be deducted from his measurements to put things right. This is a blatant lie because he is known to use steel tape.

Quote. "A careful survey, using a steel tape and theodolite, was made of the concrete posts (Avebury) that the excavators placed in the post-holes in the chalk." Megalithic Sites In Britain. A Thom, Oxford University Press, 1967.

The concrete datum post in the centre of Woodhenge is a modern fixture for surveys. It was probably placed there for Professor Thom's sole use. Thom took his measurements from the centre of this post, which remains on-site.

When living in Oxford, A T could have taken the short trip to Woodhenge to put matters right. But he did not bother. One single measurement, taken as a check like the one I took, could have resolved it.

So, the conclusion must be that Alexander Thom deliberately distorted his plan for Woodhenge by making an undersized plot.

Thom's plot of the outer egg (Thom himself called Woodhenge an egg) is proven by CAD as 12.6 inches undersize (0.32 Metres). And if all this wasn’t bad enough, he skewed his plan to make it look like its six eggs were aligned with the sun when they were not.

Professor Thom, a highly skilled engineer with an Oxford University Department of Engineering named after him, was incapable of such obvious mistakes but had an ulterior motive for abandoning his cherished Megalithic Yard.

The images seen above are from Alexander Thom's notebook, which Edinburgh Museum gratefully provided. The museum also provided me with Thom's coordinates, which, when plotted on a computer, give a plot of Woodhenge that is, incidentally, upside down.

There is no escaping the fact that Professor Thom was a good guy until he came to Wiltshire and met the archaeologists researching Stonehenge. This would have been in the 1950s.

Living in Dunlop in Scotland in his formative years, AT was a keen and qualified engineer who proved that Scotland's many stone circles, flatted circles, and egg shapes were all measured using one common standard of length. He named this standard "The Megalithic Yard."

Dismayed archaeologists protested strongly against Thom’s discovery that Woodhenge was a geometric moon egg based on the Megalithic Yard. They wanted Woodhenge and Stonehenge to be maintained as mysteries for profit, whereas Thom’s survey of Woodhenge gave away the whole Stone Age hypothesis in one go!

Hence, archaeologists requested, and some insisted, that he disguise the truth by distorting his Woodhenge plan out of all recognition.

So, despite the years of hoping to gain acceptance for his Megalithic Yard, Sandy Thom complied with the request and produced a corrupted plan by deducting a small amount from every one of his measurements. He also twisted the plot of this egg clockwise to miss the moon and point towards the mid-June sun instead.

However, Sandy made one big mistake. The position of one timber post of Ring A escaped the treatment. Like a signature of deceit, that post identifies Thom's survey as corrupt for being the only post in its proper place!

My folded tracings, which I made in 2007, proved Woodhenge to point at the moon, as did the 2008 GPS survey.

Thom's 'Yard' came under much criticism from the establishment and was told, despite having surveyed more than 400 stone circles - to go away and prove it by measuring even more!

Well, he did; he went for the biggy - Avebury. Not that it did him much good.

******

I’m not the first to make folded tracings of Woodhenge that prove the monument to be aligned on the moon. C. R. Musson, an architect, writing in the appendix of Wainwright and Longworth’s book ‘Durrington Walls,’ (Also Cunnington's book "Woodhenge"), had already made tracings in 1971 to prove that Woodhenge points at the moon. Unfortunately, Musson, too, was ignored.

Quote... Wainwright has advanced some objections to Thom’s propositions, and a purely visual study of the published plans made during the preparations of these notes raises further doubts about some of Thom’s analyses. In this study, as smooth a line as possible was drawn through each ring of post holes: this was then copied on tracing paper, reversed, and adjusted over the original drawing until the closest fit was judged to have been obtained: the long axis of the rings – as actually dug – could then be found by simple graphical method. The orientations so obtained were as follows:

Axis of rings (From Cunnington’s book of Woodhenge) AB 36.5, CF 40.5, and DE 43.5 degrees.

Axis of rings (Thom’s) AB 44.0, CF 47.0, and DE 48.5 degrees.

C. R. Musson 1971 (architect) Durrington Walls 1966-1968. Society of Antiquaries, London 1971, p 374.

Averaging Musson’s results gives 43.33 degrees, which is some 6.5 degrees to the north of the solstice and, therefore, in an area of sky impossible for the sun to visit.

From the above, we can see that archaeologists knew the truth about Woodhenge at least as long ago as 1971. So, how many more lies and corrupt archaeology do we have to suffer?

I'm convinced that Professor Thom behaved like a man who took a bribe yet left sufficient clues for some keen investigator to see through this charade and finish his work for him. -- namely to prove the Megalithic Yard - which hardly needed proving. And to show how and why, in most cases, he cunningly omitted to adopt the Yard himself.

55. It was in 2008 that the late Professor Mick Aston of the Time Team learned from me that the Jenks brothers had surveyed Woodhenge.

From the booklet "Woodhenge," Mick learned that the monument was a moon egg with geometry that proved the Megalithic Yard. He also knew and despaired of the corruption he and his colleagues were forced to adopt.

"I'm not proud of the Time Team, it hasn't worked. And I'm totally dissatisfied with my time at Bristol University. Archaeology in Britain is a shambles from top to bottom. The forces of darkness and evil are stalking the land again."

Professor Michael Antony Aston, British Archaeology Magazine March/April 2012.

I don't recall the editor Mike Pitts, asking Mick to enlarge on this statement or to explain it.

56. Taking a Mallet to Crack an Egg.

Archaeologists recently discovered 20 massive pits that surround the Durrington Walls Henge. Having found charcoal and human bone at the bottom of one of them, the holes are artificial.

Furthermore, now that these holes have been dated, we know the Beaker Folk excavated them. Let's have credit where it's due!

Relying heavily on archaeologists’ published plans and layering their figures 3, 4, and 23 in CAD tells us all much about this 'Super Circuit.'

One of the most intriguing discoveries we have made is that Durrington Walls initially followed the 10-degree rule, a principle established by the builders of the Arminghall henge. The pits, believed to have housed alignment posts at their centres, indicate that Durrington Walls was constructed on a significantly larger scale, underscoring its grandeur and profound growth expression.

People addressed the difficulty of placing posts accurately over significant distances by a series of posts placed on top of Durrington's bank. (I highlight two of these posts in red).

Wattle fences, which describe large arcs, were found to run between some posts as further expressions of growth. These arcs run from posts 9A to 5A and can be seen in the image on the right. They scale at 375, 750, and 1,500 Megalithic Yards, copying Windmill Hill, Avebury, and Durrington.

From the archaeological report PDF. A Massive, Late Neolithic Pit Structure associated with Durrington Walls Henge by Gaffney et al.

Furthermore, the 1,500 Megalithic Yard arc (3,000 MY diameter) is twice Avebury's largest. Well, what did you expect from the Stonehenger's? But this arc is concave, not convex, which might tell us something about Avebury's unresolved north-eastern arc!

Roll on the day when archaeologists accept that the beaker people designed Stonehenge. Then we can drop the term "Stonehenger's!"
