The wonderous Nesshenge, is a replica of a Neolithic henge standing proudly in Merseyside's Ness Botanic Gardens. Built with meticulous detail provided by Dr John Hill, and serving as a captivating archaeological experiment, it's a testament to ancient ingenuity surviving through the ages.

From its humble beginnings as a research project to its current status as an educational landmark, it's a journey through time. Here Dr Hill returns to the site to see how the modern replica has matured over the last 15 years.

Mayburgh henge, with its monumental enclosing bank of water worn stones, which survives to a height of slightly over 7m high externally at its tallest. The almost 3m tall stone in the centre is the only one remaining of 8 that were recorded as surviving as late as the 1700s. The henge is c. 4000-5000 years old. Its now a short walk away from a Tim Hortons.

Bill Brandt, Stonehenge (1947)

A little-known fact about Stonehenge is that the inner circumference of its Sarsen Circle (outer ring of tallest uprights joined by lintels to form trilithons) is that it measures approximately 315 feet around, which is a curious number, considering it is only one feet over 314 - reminding us of the mathematical constant pi π 3.14159265...

Equally curious is the fact that the trilithons are in the image of this mathematical constant when it is written in the uppercase letter in the Greek alphabet.

Took a trip up to the Scottish border when the weather was nice last week with a couple of friends to visit a stone circle. Duddo Five Stones is not as big or impressive as more well known circles, but being in the middle of nowhere and then a trek of about a mile from the road across fields* meant that we had the place to ourselves to take some photos. (it would've been about the same time to drive to Castlerigg in Cumbria but it would have been full of people)

*Thank you, Right To Roam laws

#stone circle #henge #this is not a henge #a henge is a circular bank with a ditch on the inside #stonehenge isn't technically a henge #it has a circular bank but the ditch is on the outside #which is more like what you'd find in a defensive position #like iron age hill forts #if Duddo Five Stones had earthworks they've been ploughed away centuries ago #it hasn't even got all its stones #there are gaps for two more

Everyone has heard of Stone Henge but what about its less famous cousin, Avebury Henge? It’s bigger, more accessible and connected to Britain’s mystical ley lines.

Il Manhattanhenge, noto anche come solstizio di Manhattan, è un fenomeno in cui il tramonto del Sole si allinea perfettamente con le strade che attraversano il distretto di Manhattan, New York, in direzione est-ovest. Ciò avviene due volte all'anno, a pari distanza temporale dal solstizio d'estate: la prima si colloca temporalmente vicina al 28 maggio, mentre la seconda avviene in genere verso il 12 luglio.

Il termine fu coniato da Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrofisico presso l'American Museum of Natural History e nativo newyorkese. Si tratta di un riferimento a Stonehenge, tempio druidico del Wiltshire (Inghilterra) dove, durante il solstizio d'estate, il disco solare si allinea con la «pietra del tallone», posta ad accesso del sito.

Lo stesso fenomeno si verifica in tutte le altre città con una griglia urbana ben definita e con una vista chiara dell'orizzonte: la datazione precisa varia in base alla struttura del reticolo di strade, alla topografia circostante e alla flora (infatti, un centro urbano cinto da montagne e colline non potrebbe mai contemplare l'evento).
