Indeed we are still looking with wonder and awe. I only wish the Foamhenge monument could be seen by more people. How many times have we all overheard people saying how they didn't expect the real Stonehenge to be so small? Of course it is, it's a ruin.

John North, in his book "Stonehenge - Neolithic Man and the Cosmos" puts forward a case for astronomical observations from Stonehenge. There are so many stones in every view from every possible angle, that you can't possibly fail to find alignments. Think of the views from outside Foamhenge looking in - you could hardly see through it. His other theories of star alignments in smaller hill figures and stone alignments could be plausible, in my view.

What one expert did say on the Foamhenge programme was that the constellations weren't in the same place as in the Bronze Age, but still existed. Wrong! The constellations were different shapes then. The stars move independently of any perceived constellation from Earth. The constellations we see today didn't exist in the BA. The "Star Signs" are bullshit.

The one impression I was left with from the Foamhenge programme was how, when the midwinter sunset was simulated, from the Avenue approach, the sun seemed to shine from the centre of the circle. The circle seemed to glow with power. Whether this happened in reality is open to debate. If it looked the same back then, well is it any wonder they concentrated on the midwinter sunset.
