Bio of Tom Bullock
EDUCATION
Stone Circles After teaching astronomy for 20 years, I was granted a Sabbatical Leave by my college to conduct research on the stone circles of the British Isles during the Spring of 1990. I had included the subject of Stonehenge in my lectures because of the suspected astronomy incorporated into its construction, but I had never actually visited it, nor was I even aware there were over 900 other circles, many of which also demonstrated astronomical features. With books, maps, cameras (still, digital, and video) and compass in hand, hiking boots on foot, and foul-weather gear on back, I headed out for what was supposed to take a mere 5 months. But the more I remained in the field, the more excited I got. I completed my Sabbatical Report required by the college, but I returned year after year to continue the project that has become a singular passion: to locate, visit, map, photograph, and conduct basic measurements of all of the stone circles and rows in the British Isles and Europe. That there are astronomical considerations incorporated into their designs is not in doubt, as is clearly shown in the CD-ROM. But above and beyond the science of the circles, and why and by whom they were constructed, they are visually-appealing in their (mostly) isolated settings. I hope that your tour through the CD-ROM will inspire you to want to visit them as well. This page last edited on Thursday, 01-Jun-2017 14:57:42 BST |
