Large 100 meter diameter tumulus with significant artifacts found in 1890, now displayed in Franziskanermuseum. The magdalenenberg tumulus dates from the Iron age (or the rather dubious 'Early Celtic' period if you write press releases for the RZM Museum)

It lies at the southwestern tip of the Black Forest, in Germany. The nobleman who is buried there ware part of the Hallstatt culture. With a volume of 33.000 cubic metres it is the biggest grave from that time in Central Europe.

Possible Iron Age calendar construction discovered in tomb of Magdalenenberg by Andy B on Friday, 14 October 2011

Early Celtic 'Stonehenge' located in Black Forest [Groan - MegP Ed, and double groan for Celtic, which we have put in quotes]

A huge 'early Celtic' calendar construction has been discovered in the royal tomb of Magdalenenberg, nearby Villingen-Schwenningen in the Black Forest. This discovery was made by researchers at the Römisch-GermanischesPress Zentralmuseum at Mainz in Germany when they evaluated old excavation plans. The order of the burials around the central royal tomb fits exactly with the sky constellations of the Northern hemisphere.

Whereas Stonehenge was orientated towards the sun, the more then 100 meter width burial mound of Magdalenenberg was focused towards the moon. The builders positioned long rows of wooden posts in the burial mound to be able to focus on the Lunar Standstills. These Lunar Standstills happen every 18.6 years and were the ‘corner stones’ of the 'Celtic' calendar.

It is suggested that the position of the burials at Magdeleneberg represent a constellation pattern which can be seen between Midwinter and Midsummer. With the help of special computer programs from NASA, Dr. Allard Mees, researcher at the Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseum, could reconstruct the position of the sky constellations in the early Celtic period and following on from that those which were visible at Midsummer. This archaeo-astronomic research resulted in a date of Midsummer 618 BC, which makes it the earliest and most complete example of a 'Celtic' calendar focused on the moon.

Julius Caesar reported in his war commentaries about the moon based calendar of the 'Celtic' people. Following his conquest of Gaul and the destruction of the Gallic culture, these types of calendar were completely forgotten in Europe. With the Romans, a sun based calendar was adopted throughout Europe. The full dimensions of the lost Celtic calendar system may now have come to light again in the monumental burial mound of Magdalenenberg.
