They explain how the oldest, most enigmatic of the Neolithic monumentsthe henges of North Yorkshirewere planned, what their purpose actually was, what amazing connection they have to the later Pyramids of Giza, and why both henges and pyramids are earthly representations of the stars in Orion's belt.
