At dawn on the winter solstice, the sun’s rays send a narrow shaft of light diagonally through the entrance passage to touch the right-hand edge of the pitted upright on that side of the court. At the equinox, the whole center of the’temple’ is bathed in light. The fact that at midsummer a much broader splodge of light hits the left hand upright at no particularly significant point rather spoils the argument, leaving coincidence a distinct possibility.

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