hi their
i was just wondering if anyone out their has ever come across such a thing as a megalithic postcode? i have just been reading an article stating that megalithic people from 4000 - 3000 B. C had used a kind of diamond shape lozenges as a means of writing down a location. the article stated that:
(The angles of the lozenge were derived from the angles of the sun's shadow cast at the time of the solstice sunrises. The nearer one goes to the equator the flatter the lozenge. More northerly sites yield increasingly tall diamond symbols.)
i was wondering if any one has ever heard of this before and if their is any evidence supporting this, and has any one seen one of these lozenges at a when visiting a site.
thank you.

Hi there blue.
I read this in the book "Uriel's Machine" by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas. (In my copy it's discussed on pages 285/286).
Newgrange in Ireland is a good place to see the lozenges: on the lintel above the 'light-box' over the entrance, and a design on a huge kerb stone on the opposite side of the mound.
(See Newgrange site pages on this web site.)

it was in a book by the knight and lomas that i 1st came across it, (the book of hyriem) not had chance to read the one you mention as yet, and if i remember corectley thay used the same place for evedence, have you ever heard of any other place with the same markings that would back up the claim, and has thare been any research in to it,
