"Accompany our twenty-first century Author back through time to Stonehenge and beyond.
"The Long Man of Wilmington outline figure on a hillside in Sussex, England could have devised the first cricket game having a pitch ten faethms long. Baseball and cricket began about the same century.
"The Bible’s Old Testament described the disappearance of Sodom and Gomorrah, now seen to have occurred about 2250 BC. Founded upon CSIRO atmospheric data, glacier ice cores and petroleum industry records, India, China and the Americas, Britain, Malta, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Sumeria, all suffered starvation, cold and drought conditions at that time. Empires collapsed and humanity reverted to a basic existence.
"Ireland, Britain, Scandinavia, Iceland, France and Germany exhibit elements of an ancient Sun calendar: sixteen months, four weeks a month, five days a week, 365 days a year. Every stone at Stonehenge is accounted for, none lost, none missing. Stonehenge is also a Moon calendar of twelve months, six weeks a month, five days a week, 354 nights a year.
"Ireland’s ancient monuments at Knowth and Newgrange c.3500 BC show the earliest comprehensive writing and arithmetic abilities in mankind’s history. England’s Avebury c.2500 BC is its largest ancient monument. Three times thirty-three massive stones enclosed a fertility ring, a justice ring, a health stone, four entrances cross a ditch and embankment. These features precisely match the Icelandic Creation Of The World Myth written about 1200 AD. World religions invoke the sacred symbolism attributed to thirty-three.
"Linear measures, the Celtic foot, faethm [fathom] and furlang [furlong] are commonly found throughout history and beyond. The first millennium BC Greek philosophers Pythagoras, Archimedes and Euclid probably gained mathematical knowledge from the Stonehenge era in Britain. Pi = π, right angled triangles, number symbolism were known in Britain during the third millennium BC.
"Thirty-three still has great symbolic meaning after many thousands of years."

I doubt this very much.
