Hi stonefree, I wonder if you could tell me the date that the photograph of the midday shadow was taken. I am very interested in that part of your investigations.
I wasn't there Andrew but it is worth mentioning that around the summer solstice is when the solar noon is at 13:19 (as mentioned ) these days for that spot . Around the time of the probable build date it would have been earlier and two degrees lower .

Quite. These are the things I have been struggling with for a long time.
These shadow patterns occur every day and how they vary throughout the year is the subject of study, as well as how things have changed from say, 3500BC.
It is so refreshing to know other minds are now looking at this. Please ask me more questions.
