[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] I already made a thread about it but I will post it here too. [b]Nabta Playa - Earliest Megalithic Astronomical Structure in the World[/b] Taken from the book: [IMG]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Yoj69OJDL._SY300_.jpg[/IMG] [i] Encyclopedia of the History of Astronomy and Astrophysics (2013) by David Leverington [/i] published by Cambridge University Press [IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y421/amunratheultimate2/Misc/NabtaPlaya-EarliestMegalithicAstronomicalStructureintheWorld_zps40cd92ed.jpg[/IMG] In text form: [b]Not only have the earliest human remains been found in Africa, but so has the earliest physical evidence of astronomical activity. This appears to be a lunar calendar found on an Ishango bone which has been dated at about 23,000 to 18,000 BC (see Sub Saharan Africa). The earliest megalithic structure that appears to be of astronomical significance is that at Nabta Playa, also in Africa, which has been dated to around 5000 to 4000 BC (see Megalithic astronomy). The earliest parts of Stonehenge in England, on the other hand, are at least 1,000 years younger, as is the passage tomb at Newgrange in Ireland.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
