" There is in fact only one unequivocal alignment built into Stonehenge, and it is one also found in other contemporary monuments in the vicinity, such as Durrington Walls: between the midsummer sunrise and the midwinter sunset. The former event has attracted thousands of revellers to the site for over a century; the effect of the latter, once probably more impressive, was ruined long ago by the collapse of the Great Trilithon. This is all fully appreciated by Anthony Johnson "    Read

" Echoing much earlier approaches Johnson focuses his attention on the placement of the stones themselves, but offers quite new conclusions. Using documentation and results from the last 250 years of surveying at stonehenge he shows that the stones were laid out to a premeditated design, and that the symmetry and geometry involved were extremely complex, so much so that it must have been geometrical considerations which played the leading role in the design of the structure. A fascinating and well argued work, which is bound to re-ignite old debates and start new ones."     Read
