Re: Stonehenge. Aubrey Holes c.8000 BC ? by adriank999 on Wednesday, 24 January 2024

Amesbury near Stonehenge has been dated c.8000 BC Were they the Stonehenge builders?
In his book Stonehenge Decoded, Hawkins argued that the various features at the Stonehenge monument were arranged in such a way to predict a variety of astronomical events. He proposed that the Aubrey Holes were used to predict eclipses of the moon. Hoyle also expressed this view.

The use of the car park post holes and the station stones, which are part of the earliest features of Stonehenge, to determine their alignments to the post holes suggests that they are also of the same era. The station stones are on the same circle as the Aubrey Holes which have never been dated so if Hawkins and Hoyle are correct in their proposition that the Aubrey holes could be used to track eclipses of the moon, with C.A Newham’s observations of the alignments from the station stones to the car park post holes suggests the Aubrey holes are contemporary with the car park post holes.

Thus the Eclipses of the moon, outlined by Newham, and the Aubrey holes as an eclipse predictor by Hawkins and Hoyle suggests they are contemporary firmly dating Stonehenge as an astronomical observatory c.8000 BC
