Summary

How do you predict eclipses at Stonehenge? Why do the Carnac alignments follow geological fault lines? Was Avebury intentionally sited precisely one seventh of a circle down from the north pole? Why are so many stone circles egg-shaped or flattened? What is the meaning of the designs in ancient rock art? Do you really have to wait nineteen years to visit the remote site of Callanish? What were the ancients up to? These are our oldest buildings, our first messages, our earliest visual art. With eight authors, and packed with detailed information and exquisite rare illustrations, Megalith is a timeless and valuable sourcebook for anyone interested in prehistory.

0:00.0	Last week in alignment with the Summer Solstice, a England-based publisher released a book called
0:08.2	Megales, A Study in Stone. So important was this book that the Telegraph and other international
0:17.0	newspapers describe the details of this new book and Earth's Neolithic Past, the discovery of advanced geometry in many, if not most of these massive stone structures and why they were created what the use was and how they follow astronomical alignment
0:38.0	of our planet and the heavenly bodies that surround us.
0:42.0	Today we'll speak with two of the authors
0:45.0	and the publisher who believes that it's now time to release this information to the public.
0:51.0	What is a megalith? Why were they built? And how were the massive
0:55.8	stone some weighing over 150 tons moved into place? Later we'll hear from our media critic Adam Young on ancient buildings in India.
1:07.0	How are these buildings created and what technology allowed them to carve with such detail is still a mystery to present day science.
1:17.0	All this in the news today on Earth Ancients. He's a good thing. For June 30th, 2018, this is Earth Ancients. Hope you're doing well. It is the holiday weekend. We got the holidays of independence. Those of us
2:16.8	living in the United States celebrate what they call 4th of July holiday, which commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence from England.

2:37.1	It's a good time to catch up with friends and things like that and the weather's
2:41.1	typically good here. I'm looking forward to getting
2:43.0	together with some friends. So I hope you can do the same or you're involved in
2:49.6	some way, some form of a relaxation because it's also a great time to get away and just do nothing.
2:56.0	Fourth of July this year is on Wednesday and I am doing a family gathering on the fourth which is a holiday so looking forward to that hope you can do the same and
3:09.8	Enjoy yourself a little bit
3:12.1	This week is all about megalis. It's all about megalithic stone structures, stone circles, massive dolmens and buildings Buildings with a focus towards the UK. Now I have seen some
3:27.7	impressive dolmens in eastern United States. In fact we've had a couple of people on the program that have been up north,
3:36.7	North Salem, New York, and there is one Doolman there that has a 50 ton capstone on it and we have photographs of it on the
3:47.2	Facebook page but there are a number of large dolmens north of New York in Massachusetts and they're finding
