Hi

Complete newbie here, apologies if I'm covering old ground.

It was only a couple of days ago I found about these post holes in the Stonehenge car park. I've been looking into the apparent coincidence (?) of the relationship of the alignment of the Giza pyramids with the three stars that form Orion's belt. And then I discovered information about the Thornborough Henges Complex, which shows a similar arrangement... and then I saw a photo of the concrete markers in the Stonehenge car park. And I was gobsmacked to find that they appear to be in the same two-in-a-line-and-one-off-to-one-side alignment.

It can't just be me that thinks that this has to be more than coincidence, surely? Yet I can't seem to find out anything much about these post holes. Lots and lots of speculation about Stonehenge itself, of course, but not a great deal about these much older post holes, and certainly nothing that suggests that there's any relationship between these and the three stars of Orion's belt.

Any thoughts?

Draw a circle. Put three points in one quadrant of its circumference. Remove the circle. You are left with two points in a straight line and one slightly off it. It's not this feature that can used as concrete evidence of an Orion's Belt link. You have to have the distances apart proportional too, which <i>seems</i> to be the case at Thornborough.

The post holes at Stonehenge could be a bit of a timber post circle, which I find more interesting than and Orion connection. It would throw the circular use of the site back a long way in time. To put cream on it a nice outlying post marking the Summer Solstice sunrise would be nice :-)
