A collection of theories on archaeological features and artifacts

Stonehenge Theory
Stonehenge theory is that the stones which comprise Stonehenge were used to discern
astronomical information, including the possible usage of these methods:

A semi-spherical, square grid being placed either on top of or around the upright
stones, whether they already have a horizontal stone on top or not. The square grid
may be likened to square trellis work, in an overall semi-spherical shape. Wood may
be used for its construction. That stars, the sun or the moon may be viewed through
this grid.
Also, that the shadows caused by such a grid may have been observed in order to
discern astronomical information, or the patterns of light which were not blocked by
the grid may have been observed to do likewise. This method may be called
stereographic projection although I am not certain on this due to being uneducated in
this regard.
That a sundial, or similar, may have been placed within the circle, potentially on one
of the stones. The reading given by the sundial may have been influenced by the
function of the stones, or another device such as the wooden grid.
That the shadows caused by the stones, or the patterns of light which is formed by the
light which is not blocked by them, may have been used to discern astronomical
information.
That the geographical layout of the land Stonehenge is situated on, and that around it,
played a role in the astronomical measurements it was used for.

In regard to the construction of Stonehenge, a theory is that A-frames, ladders, cradles,

winches and cranes may have been used to move and lift the stones. Also, that steel or other
metal cables may have been used in order to attach to and move the stones; that knowledge of
metallurgy was advanced, as was the idea of twisting or braiding to increase the strength of
something, in this case steel/metal cable. This knowledge of twisting and braiding for
strength may also have been applied to rope making techniques to make exceptionally tough
ropes which were strong enough to bear the weight of the stones. Oxen or other powerful
beasts of burdens may have been employed to move the stones.

Swords used as Sun Dials- Theory

The theory that swords, especially those used by Christian crusaders and Vikings, could be
used as a form of sun dial. Presumably in a similar manner to the way a stick can, however
the guard, handle and pommel are possibly of particular significance in the case of Crusader
and Viking swords. The usage of the swords as sun dials would be a secondary design
function, their primary design function would have been as weapons. It is possible that

several swords may have been used and placed in a circle or similar shape, which would
produce a structure broadly similar to that of Stonehenge.

Viking Longships aka Dragon Ships Theory

Listed underneath are several theories as to things relating to the Viking Longships aka
Dragon Ships:

That the hull of the ship may have been leather clad.
That the dragon head may have contained a reed plate which reverberated by wind
pressure and produced sound. (Note, that in Old European Code the Dragon appears
to be, at least in part, a reference to sound, and possibly gas).
Channelled sound through the length of its hull, possibly in the manner of a wood
wind instrument.
Had metal wires running along the length of its hull which would be caused to
resonate, perhaps by being connected to the Dragonhead reed plate, or by some other
method such as a part of them being struck and the resulting resonation traveling
along through the rest of the wire, in a similar manner to the string of an instrument.
The wires may have been made of gold. These resonating metal wires may have
allowed the ship to travel, or turn, easier in the water
That a metal rudder may have been used which could be caused to resonate, perhaps
by the Dragonhead reed plate or perhaps by being struck. This resonating effect may
have allowed the rudder to turn easier in the water, which helped the ship overall to
turn and reduced the size of its turning circle.
By some device, the ships and its crew, produced and channelled sound, and used the
sound waves to affect the water around the ship.
By some device, air current was channelled in such a way that it affected the water
around the ship perhaps displacing it. The air current may have been primarily
generated by the ships movement, generated by sail or oar.
That wooden skis were attached to the ships to enhance stability.
That some form of bearing (as in metal spheres or similar) system may have been
used that allowed for the oars to operate automatically to an extent and reduce the
workload of a rower.
Air may have been contained between the ships wooden hull and a waterproof leather
hull which surrounded it. This air may have been static or a constant current which
effectively caused there to be effectively a permanent layer of air there. In the case of
the latter it would require an inlet and outlet.
A roof may have been attached to the ships for long journeys.
That flaps were attached to the side of the ship in order to raise or lower it in the
water, similar in function to flaps on an airplane.

Nordic and North European Rune Stones and their interpretation using a Scytale type device

That rune stones which are present in Europe may have been read by writing their
inscription down on a long strip of leather, or similar, and then wrapping that strip
around a rod, possibly hexagonal in shape and similar to a scytale. The runes were
then interpreted based upon their new position, possibly sequential, on the rod or
scytale. This may have been in keeping with the current day understanding of how a
scytale was read, which is essentially linguistically.
That rune stones were carved in such a way that they conveyed a message to those
who knew how to correctly interpret it. More specifically, that they were shaped and
carved so they displayed geographical information and that their dimensions,
including their contours, indicated this. The information may have been astronomical.
