Stonehenge
The Perigee: Zero (PZ) concept has been proposed for cratering dynamics and ejecta distribution during the impact of hydrated comets captured into earth orbits. Terrestrial landforms whose characteristics may not conform to generally accepted natural processes are identified and an attempt is made to correlate these to the alternate solution set.
One set of datum suggests that many of the sites revered by our forefathers are actually ejecta emplacement sites. The gentle oval knoll manifestations of PZ ejecta are often utilized as building sites of import to humans, such as the U.S. Capital Hill. These sites are commonly considered as human-constructed hills or earthen monuments, but may actually be ejecta emplacements with entombed human victims under them. Surviving members of the civilization, having been eyewitness to the event, would memorialize the grounds. Furthermore, we suggest that a site would necessarily be one of significant size, such as a village or town, for the effort to construct a memorial to be undertaken.
At the North American Indian mound complex, the Cahokia Mounds Site, IL, USA, a “Woodhenge” structure has been identified. The common attribution for such a structure is to aid in the timing of agricultural activities. We interpret that the alignment device at Cahokia was used to track the menacing “stars” as an early warning system for future encounters.
As a test fit of the hypothesis, we examine the historical structure at Stonehenge, England, which is also commonly accepted as an astrological alignment device. The PZ theory holds that the original site would be constructed at the site of a significant loss of human life. Evident to the authors in the 0.25 meter high resolution image available from Terrasource, is a substantial settlement grid underlying two pear-shaped ejecta emplacements centered 500 meters west and south-west of the Stonehenge monument site.
A graphic was drawn from the satellite photograph and attempts to delineate the ejecta fields.
The historical significance of Stonehenge may well be its construction and then re-use over the millennia, as identified by others. Our PZ review has identified at least four major cometary impact events that accreted ejecta onto the Great Britain landmass. Using satellite imaging we infer that a human habitation site was entombed in an ejecta structure from the first of these events.
We also interpret that the site was later struck by ejecta from a second impact. Unlike the stone circle of nearby Avebury in Wiltshire, which was left buried after this second event, Stonehenge was rebuilt for re-use in tracking the danger. This event may also have been responsible for the live entombment of the Amesbury Archer and his companion, commonly dated at 2300 BC. Dated at the same time, the Boscombe Bowmen “grave” is perhaps more suggestive of live entombment, as it contained the remains of seven individuals. The grave was found during road construction, not while exhuming recognized burial grounds.
The hypothesis suggests that the final ejecta emplacements at Stonehenge were manifested as small circular structures, caused by highly hydrated ejecta spray droplets “raining” down near-vertically on the landscape after a distant impact. These landforms are commonly attributed as man-made burial sites, and may have been used for that purpose.
Preseli Bluestones
The authors consider it possible that the majority of Stonehenge Bluestones seen at Stonehenge were relocated to the immediate area as ejecta, rather than by the efforts of man. The Preseli Bluestones located here, as well as at their commonly assumed origin site in the Preseli Hills to the west, are considered under the hypothesis to have been delivered to both sites as ejecta from a PZ impact event on the southeast continental shelf of the British Isles. Satellite photographic evidence suggests that the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire were assembled from ejecta landforms arriving from azimuth 240º. This area can be seen on Goggle Maps.
Clearly evident in the center of this photo are two PZ ejecta emplacements. The graphic below offers a hinted view of the emplacements.
