Calendar and Eclipse Interrelationships - Chapter V - June 1967

Kenneth C Herrmann

What were Stonehenge astronomers searching for? That would depend upon who they were. Personal discussions with historians point out the possibility that they were Israelites in the time of Joshua. If this is the case we should thoroughly search early British history for the accomplishments of "Hugh the Great," whom some consider to be the Joshua of Scripture. If Israelites under Joshua did indeed build Stonehenge, the motives to be considered are limited to a fairly narrow range. Pagan motives (human sacrifice, fear of eclipses, sun worship, moon worship) are immediately cancelled. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
