megalithic circles and mars
interesting coincidences

these mathematical similarities are for the perusal of the reader.
some may be coincidence, but others may be something else entirely.
the reader will decide as he or she wishes.
a book was published by oxford university press in 1967. later
editions were published up to 1976. perhaps there were later
editions as well, but i did not know about them as my copy was a 1976
edition. the book's title is megalithic sites in britain and was
written by a. thom. as of 1976, a. thom had written one other book
with the title megalithic lunar observatories.


(1). according to a. thom, there are thousands of megalithic sites
in britain, stones aligned in egg-shaped, elliptical, and circular
arrangements. about 300 of these sites were surveyed by thom. . he
found them to be constructed according to a linear dimension he calls
the megalithic yard which equates to 2.72 feet. the accuracy of
measurement found in these circles exceeds the limits of most
surveyors in the sense that even stretching a measuring tape exceeds
the limit of the accuracy of the engineers who created the alignments
(accuracy given as approaching 1 in 1,000). this led to the
conclusion that the megalithic yard was a standard of measure at the
time these alignments were created that was employed with an accuracy
of one percent throughout the whole of britain.
