Re: The Monoliths Next Door by Andy B on Sunday, 16 October 2005

Yep, the stone itself is lovely, but why make it so perfectly square? It looks so unnatural and out-of-character, like concrete breeze-blocks.

The bit that made me laugh (puke?) was that they got Dr. Anthony Aveni, professor of anthropology and astronomy at Colgate University, to lay out a plan that would chart sunrise and sunset on the first day of the seasons and other celestial events, along with the Rothberg children's birthdays.

He is a well respected archaeoastronomer, and author of a book on the Nazca Lines (link to our online shop - it's halfway down that page).

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
