UM-Bot Posted May 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Stone Age Britons had a sophisticated knowledge of geometry to rival Pythagoras – 2,000 years before the Greek "father of numbers" was born, according to a new study of Stonehenge. Five years of detailed research, carried out by the Oxford University landscape archaeologist Anthony Johnson, claims that Stonehenge was designed and built using advanced geometry.

Bella-Angelique Posted May 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Well this is setting the clocks back more than a bit. I was so happy to read this, especially after the damages that were done to it earlier. I hope it will bring those who did not treasure it before to treasure it now as a marker of world history and not just the ancient west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louie Posted May 30, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ive alawys believed there were more advanced societys than normal archeology allows for an this could be the start of proving ancient knowledge. stonehenge is 500 years older than the pyramids an they rekon the knowledge was hundreds of years older than stonehenge. Newgrange in Ireland is 500 years older than Stone henge so the knowledge has to be older than the Newgrange site. wich means the mathmatics involved has been around at least 1000+ years before the construction of the Pyramids. 500+ years before the construction of Stonehenge.
