摘要

本文认为，巨石阵中精选的石头的位置揭示了阴历与阳历的结合，这是纪念碑设计中有意包含的。特别是，分析表明，石头11号的大小是其他石头的一半，在月球和太阳的时间轴上都是至关重要的。此外，有人认为这块石头也标志着隆冬日出，它的影子与蓝石40接触的方式类似，脚跟石的影子落在祭坛石上，表明仲夏日出。

Stonehenge

This paper argues that the positions of select stones at Stonehenge reveal a lunar calendar which is integrated with a solar calendar, and that this was intentionally included in the design of the monument. In particular, the analysis shows that Stone 11, which is half the size of the others, is pivotal in both the lunar and solar timelines. Further, it is argued that this stone also marked the midwinter sunrise, its shadow making contact with Bluestone 40 similar to the way in which the Heel Stone indicates midsummer sunrise by its shadow falling upon the Altar Stone.
