[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] VIDEO (Robert Bauval) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk3hMoRZm9k [b]Nabta Playa Calendar circle[/b] [IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/nabtaplayawendorf2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/nabtaplayawendorf3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/nabtaplaya_calendar.jpg[/IMG] Five megalithic alignments at Nabta radiate outwards from a central collection of megalithic structures. Stone slabs three meters high were dragged over a kilometer to create the site. The small stone circle contains four sets of upright slabs, two of the sets being aligned in a north-south direction while the second pair of slabs provides a line of sight towards the summer solstice horizon. An east-west alignment is also present between one megalithic structure and two stone megaliths, which stand about a mile distant. Furthermore there are two other geometric lines involving about a dozen additional stone monuments that lead both north-east and south-east from the same megalith.

It is between 6000 and 6500 years old. [/QB][/QUOTE]
