Mégalithe

Located between Brittany and Normandy, Mayenne is a region rich in megaliths. These stones, from the Greek (big) and lithos (stone), are the first forms of architecture known in the world. They are fascinating by their size, the mystery of their origins and the various legends which are bounded to it.  To the man of the Neolithic, man and cosmos were in continuous interaction: these monuments probably have a cultural function and were used as a canal to link the sensible world with the spirit world.

Electricity enabled modern man to get free from constraint linked to the rhythm of the sun and the moon, of day and night. Yet for men of the neolithic, these two stars (which size is comparable if their are observed from the earth) assume a fundamental importance: they put in rhythm not only the existence but also their complementarity was perceived as source of life. To the imperturbability of the radiance of the sun was associated the queen of the night, changing, hard to observe and which came, sometimes during the day, to dance in the sky. From this polarity between what is fixed and the change (the action and reflection) our elders could take the first teachings from laws of nature, cosmos, and understand why the human being was doomed to duality.

Archaeologists and university teachers are often unadventurous which lead them not to consider as acceptable what they can't explain.  That observation involves research in general but particularly when a form of ancient belief, spirituality is attached to it... Did the Age of Enlightenment make our society, so brilliant that it is qualified as postmodern and which metronome swings between "world perceived by the senses " and "reason". Between them: no imaginal world, no archetype nor spirituality...
Alexander Thom (1894-1985) is one of the pioneers of archaeoastronomy.

Robin Heath has been working for more than 25 years on measuring unities of megalithic sites. Thanks to them, he managed to deduce a practical and symbolical meaning.
Like a child game, helped by a Stonehenge model, two golf balls which symbolize the Sun and the Moon, as a zodiacal map, he shows that the first constructions of the Stonehenge site were built not only to celebrate Sun rising during the Summer Solstice but also to forecast eclipses.

Within the frame of the event "Solstice d'été à Plouharnel" (June 2009),  Howard Crowhurst gave us an astro-geometric lecture of the site of Manio in Carnac, a key site to understand the megalithic remnant of Morbihan.   
Observing rises and falls of the Sun at summer and winter solstice, terrestrial motions, and measuring and angle statements with a theodolite, he unveiled a natural sacred architecture with a rare precision between the giant, the goddess and the quadrilateral of Manio, around which is measured the standard of the giant Breton site.

What are the measures and this angles which reveal the meaning?

Within the frame of the event "Solstice d'été à Plouharnel" (June 2009), Robin Heath shows us how neolithic men drew megalithic fences. According the works of professor Alexander Thom on about 600 circles concerning the unit of measurement and the draws, he tries to make us discover a simple and elementary method which would allow to draw geometric form of the most famous sites.  A trip which will  lead us to the core of megalithic builders' mysteries.
 

Following and end of the presentation "principles of megalithic architecture" in this video where the visitor will be able to see megaliths of different countries with Google Earth, a tool which allows to travel the whole world and to visualize by satellite map images, highlights and buildings in 3D. 
Howard Crowhurst establishes the angles and the measurement allowing to unveil visible geometric figures between Briton megalithic sites. 

Appeared 6000 years BC, megaliths continues to question searchers. How were the materials brought? What was the measurement used at the time? And above all, why were they built?
To Howard Crowhurst, who have studied them for many years, there is no doubt that every installation of the site of Carnac in Brittany is based on a sacred architecture. His works on sun rises and falls in equinoxes and solstices reveal the triangle structure 3-4-5.

What was the science of men of the Neolithic of which writing can’t be attested ? In this 47-minutes presentation, Howard Crowhurst invites us to reconsider megalithic constructions, which appeared 5000 years B.C. in the region of Carnac, in Brittany, and questions their meaning.
