2Stonehenge

With it’s enormous stones dating past 2400BC, the purpose and construction methods of Stonehenge have long been debated. Humans are generally accepted to have built the actual monument, as comparably large stones have been erected in modern times using primitive tools. However, Ancient Astronaut theorists claim that the positions of the stones confirm an ancient ability to predict eclipses. This ability would mean the ancients had knowledge of lunar nodes – the two points in space where Earth’s orbit intersects the moon’s orbit. This knowledge wouldn’t be possible without extraterrestrial influence — or by generations of astute study that was continuously passed down and improved upon. Modern science obviously leans towards the latter, but it is possible that scientists have also attributed too much astronomical meaning to the placement of the stones.

2 巨石陣

巨石陣的歷史可追溯至公元前2400年前，其建造目的和方法長久以來沒有定論。普遍認為是人類建造了這個實際上的紀念碑，與此類似，人們在現代也曾使用原始工具立起過巨大的石頭。但是，古代宇航員理論支持者聲稱，石頭的位置證明古代人有預測日月食的能力。這種能力表明，古代人掌握了黃白道交點--地球軌道與月球軌道在太空中相交的兩點--的知識。沒有外星人的影響(或通過幾代人不斷傳承和改善的努力研究)，古人是不可能掌握這種知識的。現代科學顯然支持后一種猜測，但也有可能是科學家對巨石的位置賦予了過多的天文學含義。
