Some sense at last! Portugal “tomb” was likely used as a “telescope”

Portugal
Finally some learned scholars are starting to make some sense and use their education properly by thinking ‘outside the box’.
I have always maintained, and stressed this point in my book, that many archaeologists are providing so-called ‘answers’ based solely on the scientific findings at any particular site – i.e. artefacts, bones, etc.
In my book I stated the following:
“…you cannot study archaeology without studying the stars because you won’t be able to get into the mind of the ancients. The stars controlled the lives of our ancestors. No knowledge of astronomy makes you a blind archaeologist.”
Astronomical observations are the key to understanding our ancestors and why they built the structures they did. Suggesting Stonehenge, for example, was a “place of the dead” (on top of the solstice and equinox alignments) is ignorant in the extreme, and that deduction has come from the man who currently appears to have the monopoly on Stonehenge right now – Dr. Mike Parker Pearson. While I have no personal issues with Dr. Parker Pearson I find his conclusions are a joke, and solely based on archaeological findings. Anyway….
Finally some archaeologists are realising the true purpose of ancient structures and in Portugal the team there are using their brains for once.
Lanyon Quoit, in Cornwall, England, is another strange site that is listed as a “burial tomb”. I have visited that place numerous times and I have never been convinced that it was a burial tomb. Clearly it had another purpose. In this article is a picture of so-called ‘tomb’ that has similarities to Lanyon Quoit, and this new research makes a whole lot more sense in comparison to what has gone before…
Well done to the team involved!
