Congratalations on your amazing photo MM and thank you for sharing it with all of us. As an astronomer and meganaut it has blown my mind. What effect must this phenomenon have had on our ancient ancestors?

DOLMEN by Anonymous on Friday, 21 November 2014
I am a maze and labyrinth designer and part of my research is into the origins of various things.

The earliest drain or rigoll under giant haystacks was a simple spiral.Then in the Neolithic some brainy person invented what we call the Type 1 Classic Maze.
The central upright pole was the rig. Ropes or riggbands from the halo at the top came down to concentric rings of poles , rig bolls et in the thrashing floor (Greek halos).When the farmers brought their stooks in they exchanged them for the original ***** corn dollies. They were kept on the bankh around the outside in protective buildings, dolmens.
STOOK EXCHANGE; BANKING AND DOLES.

English Maze, German DOLHAUS (House of the dole) Dutch Doolhoof (House of the dole).
