I told you at what point the stone becomes invisible. 4 kms. Photos are utterly irrelevant, as what can be seen with the naked eye differs immensely from what a camera will pick up without using a zoom. (As with 4 winds photo. Not visible, but clearly visible with the naked eye from the same point.) Just because something similar has not been noticed before elsewhere, (if indeed that is true,) does not invalidate this case. The stone was erected, in a precise spot, which perfectly highlights the equinoxes from Carrigaruppera. Perhaps you would like to explain why you are so convinced this is coincidental, when on the balance of probability you are quite clearly wrong. I get the impression that this is more to do with proving intellectual superiority over others, than with an accurate assesment of what was really going on.


The stone was erected at a precise spot that goes without saying but not necessarily with the carrickappara in mind . There will be other points where on a line from where the event can be seen maybe more salient than a local highpoint .I think it's more to do with somebody not accepting your idea that is the problem for you . It has nothing to do with intellectual superiority . Ask others , how many will it take before you might accept they don't accept it either .Why not mention another similar example that is accepted by archaeoastronomers .Why do have to take it personally ?, It's not meant that way at all . If I believed that you had found a previously unrecorded example of an intentional aligment I would be the first to say so .
