Whole Horizon Analytical Techniques (W.H.A.T.) have finally revealed the secrets of how they did it and just how clever (¡¿WHAT?!) it actually is. Whole Horizon Analysis, developed by the author, revolutionises the study of archaeoastronomy and casts new light on the archaeology of Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age societies. Well over 100 megalithic sites have been surveyed so far. Most of them are in Ireland but a few are in Wales.

You see mountains in the distance. Which mountains are they? HeyWhatsThat will tell you, providing a 360° panoramic sketch labeled with the names of the peaks you're looking at. From almost anywhere in the world. The main site computes the horizon and mountain names and other related visualizations, including the surface of the Earth visible from where you're standing (the visibility cloak or viewshed) and the line of sight profile between you and the distant peaks. You can view panoramas that someone else has requested and generate your own.

Five of the circles have previously been considered in an astronomical context by the late Professor Alexander Thom (Thom, 1967). All five are located within the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, and they will now be briefly discussed.

Added on: 23-Jun-2010 Hits: 8058 Rate this Site | Report Broken Link Sky and Landscape by Robin Heath The ancient landscape of Britain is a subject of fascination to many people. They love to visit stone circles and rows, passage mounds and dolmens and individual standing stones whose purpose now seems mysterious and inexplicable. The academic subject of archaeoastronomy developed from a desire to understand these fascinating sites. Its aim is to examine their carefully chosen locations from the point of view of the movements of the sun and moon as seen from earth. However, there are no simple basic introductory books for people interested in the subject. Most of the literature is presented in a difficult and complex manner, especially for the non-scientist. Yet the ideas about the relationship of sky and landscape are natural and obvious when once they are pointed out.
