Thornborough Henges

Like the pyramids at Giza, it would appear the makers of this ancient monument in Yorkshire also mirrored the constellation of Orion.

This could be just coincidence.

Here is a satellite image of the henges overlayed with a photo of Orions belt.

You have to agree the dimensions are pretty exact.

I was lucky enough to work on the excavations at Thornborough for a season – great fun, and some of the most interesting archaeology I’ve seen.
