Hello
I wonder if anybody did a survey about the top cutting of the stones of stennes.
I think, the angle the stones are cut is not just by chance.
Any suggestions?
One week point in Thom´s (and other authors) theories is that all visual lines just reflect on a target close to the horizon or landscape. Wouldnt make it sense to hvae lines of sight using cutted edges of these stones?
Ring o' Brodgar has quite a few "angled top " stones and the Comet and watch stones are also so "inclined " .I'm not aware of any survey of the angles , it would be good to see one though and it wouldn't take long each angle and the part of the sky they are orienterd upon , might sort a fw things out . Odd that they are rarely mentioned as mirroring the local hills , maybe I have just missed anyone doing so or maybe they simply don't , you would imagine that would be difficult and if it is the case was it deliberate or did it never matter ?
