Researchers have thought that Stonehenge was
a monument to tell the time . Now
they suppose that it could have functioned like
the solar calendar used in ancient Egypt. with a year oF of 365.25 days.
Most of the stones were quarried from the same
location 25 kilometres away.
Many people tend to
think that ancient men could not have been as clever as we are. This is in
keeping with the Darwinian idea that humans evolved very gradually from
ape-like creatures and learning was a slow hit-or-miss affair. They were not
expected to accomplish much intellectually.
However, the pyramids, Stonehenge and other ancient monuments and devices tell an entirely different kind of story. -
We should not be
surprised that archaeology is revealing a trend seen in Genesis. The early chapters of the Bible indicate that
already at the dawn of history, humans were able to smelt and refine metals
(Genesis 4:22), just a few generations after creation.
