Adam's Calendar

[Lulav]

I came across this and I've never heard of it, thought it might be an interesting topic to discuss.

Also called the 'Blaauboschkraal stone ruins' this is located in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. When first discovered they were thought to be a cattle corral of sorts, not until other researchers began to look into them were they discovered to be much more than that.

Many of the circular structures are aligned to specific geographic points including solstices and equinoxes. Many employ the Golden Ratio and contain other sacred geometry.

Has anyone heard of this and what are your thoughts?

I wonder how it got its name "Adam's calendar"??

What I find very interesting is that the first calculations of the age of the calendar were made based on the rise of Orion, a constellation known for its three bright stars forming the "belt" of the mythical hunter. The Earth wobbles on its axis, so the stars and constellations change their angle of presentation in the night sky on a cyclical basis. This rotation, called the precession completes a cycle about every 26,000 years. By determining when the three stars of Orion's belt were positioned flat (horizontal) against the horizon, it is possible to estimate the time when the three stones in the calendar were in alignment with these stars. According to Tellinger, a calculation done by astronomer Bill Hollenbach based on the rise of Orion suggested an age of the site of at least 75,000 years. A further calculation done in June 2009, suggested an age of at least 160,000 years, based on the rise of Orion 'flat on the horizon' but also on the 'erosion of dolerite stones' found at the site.

The reason this is interesting is that Orion is mentioned in the bible and plays a role in the foretelling of warrior, whom we could determine to be Yeshua, ben David..

I think probably the same way that they coined the term 'Mitochondrial Eve' speaking of the first woman.

Then there's the Great Pyramid connection too. Some have said that it has the salvation story in it's mathematics.

Just another article trying to refute the age of man as presented in Scripture. I can build a circle in my backyard and make a map of it pointing to the solstices and various constellations as well. I don't doubt that the site is ancient, but I definitely doubt that man built it 75,000+ years ago and that it is actually a calendar.
