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 巨石阵

巨石阵的历史可追溯至公元前2400年前，其建造目的和方法长久以来没有定论。普遍认为是人类建造了这个实际上的纪念碑，与此类似，人们在现代也曾使用原始工具立起过巨大的石头。但是，古代宇航员理论支持者声称，石头的位置证明古代人有预测日月食的能力。这种能力表明，古代人掌握了黄白道交点--地球轨道与月球轨道在太空中相交的两点--的知识。没有外星人的影响(或通过几代人不断传承和改善的努力研究)，古人是不可能掌握这种知识的。现代科学显然支持后一种猜测，但也有可能是科学家对巨石的位置赋予了过多的天文学含义。
