Default December 21st 7212

That future date is the same length of time back to 5200 years ago
when astronomers working within a functioning society created a
monument with a flourish using the solstice Sun or rather,in
contemporary terms, -

The grating babble of 'tilt' disguises what actually happens as the
Earth turns in its annual cycle to the central Sun independent of
daily rotation thereby shifting from what is now considered axial
precession as a long term axial trait to an annual orbital trait.It
takes nothing more than an imitation analogy using a broom handle
along with actual observations of Uranus to affirm this and why the
Solstice alignments will still remain good in 5200 years time.


Looking at that future date is jarring but does demonstrate that
people can make the wrong decisions,fall into poor habits and lose
sight of what is important as many do now.Walking along the shoreline
or the headland where these Newgrange people quarried the large
stones for the monument and was my childhood home,the annual motion of
the Sun is visible and on the equinox it is possible to enjoy the
prototype for the Newgrange feature by way of a natural formation
which looks out towards the Eastern horizon- it not spectacular in the
same way Newgrange is but nevertheless it is possible to see the idea
emerge,even if it is speculative,never can be proven and never will.
