Megalithic geometry

|
Megalithic geometry (also called 366-degree geometry) is a presumed geometry used and possibly devised by the Megalithic people of early Britain and Brittany (France). This geometry, whose origin can be traced back as early as 3000 BC, used a 366-degree circle rather than a 360-degree circle as we use today. According to British writer Alan Butler, 366-degree geometry is linked to the Phaistos Disc, a clay artefact discovered in Crete in 1908, which could have been a 366-day Minoan calendar. Butler thinks that this geometry was materialised on Earth by Salt Lines, 366 meridians and 183 parallels crisscrossing the globe at regular intervals, the equivalent of modern 360 meridians and 180 parallels. According to French author Sylvain Tristan, most capitals and sanctuaries of the world's great civilisations of late prehistory and antiquity, including Stonehenge, Avebury, the Ring of Brodgar, Babylon, Assur, Nineveh, Thebes, Abu Simbel, Harappa, Mycenae, Athens, Hattusa, Alesia, Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza, Tiwanaku and Caral, are located along the course of Salt Lines. |
