Ric, Hutton didn't mention alignments in his correct comment
"the vast majority of prehistoric monuments in these islands do not relate to ... the cardinal points of the sun"
....................................................
Ric replied: If by this somewhat oblique above statement Hutton means that not all megalithic monuments reference solstices and / or equinoxes then that is a simple fact, and to state it as some form of scholastic revelation seems rather absurd to me. Why not use direct speech to convey prosaic facts, but instead employ potentially ambiguous if not misleading terms like ‘cardinal points of the sun’ and especially ‘stations of the sun’, whatever these are?

“...As far as I'm concerned in archaeoastronomy there are only four important (Cardinal) positions of the Sun. These are the Summer and Winter solstices and the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes...the most important festival (ritual) days were Quarter days in England”

About time , maybe we can get back to the discussion .
You can't claim that language or other problems were involved in a simple counting exercise that would have shown to be wrong .
Stick to stuff that is unfalsifiable ,you should have learnt that by now .

The constant barrage directed at Me, is from YOU.
This is definately My last reply to You, it is a waste of time answering your constant drivel directed at Myself.

"I do not fail , at all. "
Lol .
Then why not do the simple counting task to show that you are not wrong . Anyone can do it to confirm the result .
And that is why you won't do it .
It might also get this thread back on to topic instead of a constant barrage about you .

Either you can't count or you were wrong about the number of off topic attributable to either of us .
I believe ,but have no evidence , that judging by the primary 2 language you should also have the skills required but are afraid to do so because , yet again when faced with providing evidence you fail , although in this case it obviously exists . Go on , give it a go ,a real experiment , it will be a first ,who knows what it might lead to .

Sem,
Why are You saying that "light is a figment of our imagination"?

As light etc is a figment of our imagination, why are you posting on the subject of "Solar alignments"?

Tiompan,
Your above post is inferring that I cannot count, which is offensive, and a personal attack....again.
The LIES are by YOU, when You state fact like that I cannot do that which I post I can....again this is offensive personal attacks, and has been going on a very long time, which I attempt to defend against , thus the dragging off topic of threads, which is instigated by You, but inferred as been by myself.
Your post again demonstrates fully Your agenda slanted against My personal understandings of what is detectable, and three times You have inferred that I am in some way deluded in My thinkings , which in a mammoth variety of ways You have never stopped with terms such as mumbo jumbo etc etc thrown in for better effect.
You can doubt all You please, but You are and have on countless times stepped over sceptical doubtings into offensive personal rhetoric.
Stop telling Me I cannot do what I can, You are in no position to declare such, and the consequences are boring in the extreme, not just for anyone else, but definately for myself.
If We were up in the hallowed stones section I could understand to some extent Your constant stupid demands for proof, as I except the owners terms for that section, but this section is for those who dowse etc .If You don't like or believe those who dowse go upstairs or other stoneheads locations where You can be king of the castle.
1+1=2
Do I now get an O level???
