is SO eroded and leveled with the ground that the exact size and
configuration can no longer be readily estabhshed.
Some of these prehistoric temples of the Celts are not circular,
but are formed by circles in combinations of diflFerent diameters.
Woodhenge, situated next to Stonehenge, has the shape of an
egg, also constructed in Celtic feet and with the pi factor of 22/7.
It has an ovoid perimeter of 480 ft, or 132.67 m. In reality, Woodhenge
temple is formed by six ovoid curves in perfect concentricity
and mathematical relationship. Whoever constructed it
was a master mathematician.
The British archaeologists and astronomers have adopted the
megalithic yard as their unit of measurement to explore the prehistoric
temples in England. This yard, of 0.829 m, equal also to 3
Celtic ft or 2 Celtic cubits, makes it difficult to analyze the true
relationship of the Celtic civilization to other cultures of the
past. Divided into megalithic yards, the diameters and circumferences
of the circles do not comprise whole units and the prehistoric
formula 22:7 is not apparent. But this relationship 22:7 is
the base of nearly aU prehistoric monuments—the Pyramid of
Cheops, the temples of Teotihuacan, and others.
There also exists an American "Woodhenge," but the resemblance
is in the proportion 22:7 only. The American site, the
Cahokia Mounds, is constructed with the Tiahuanaco foot of
0.2972 m, which is quite surprising in itself. These prehistoric
remains are in Illinois, near East St. Louis, on the east bank of
the Mississippi River, and is
only a part of an extensive maze of
prehistoric temples, habitats, and truncated pyramids. The diameter
of the Cahokia Mounds is 420 Tiahuanaco ft and its circumference
is 1,320 ft, divided into 48 equal parts of 27V2 ft each,
separated by 48 equidistant poles. The observation point inside
this circle is 5 ft off center in an easterly direction, from which
point the vernal and the autumnal equinoxes could be observed
over the top of a pole at sunrise. If one looks east, the fourth pole
to the left indicated sunrise at the summer solstice and the fourth
pole to the right, sunrise at the winter solstice. There certainly
must be many other alignments built into this setup, but as far as
I know, nobody has begun a serious exploration.
Prehistoric sites in the United States are not very popular. The
Medicine Wheel of Wyoming is known because of its unique di-
