is the heelstone ever so slightly out of line, so that to see it through 

 the trilithon arch you must stand 6 inches to the left of the center of 

 the circles? Why are those trilithon arches so narrow? The huge 

 uprights stand 20 feet high, but the space between is less than a foot. 

 Wliy do these spaces line up ? What do those alinements point to ? 



As an astronomer, I thought, "Aha ! A transit instrument. These 

 arches were used to point to stars or planets or different things in 

 the sky."
