Stones.



This is how to get to the Umass IDTM.



The sun will rise over this stone on the summer solstice.

Cargo Cults

Natives of islands in the Pacific Ocean, such as New Guinea and Vanuatu, engaged in cargo cults in the years after World War Two. The War brought Japanese, Americans and the English into contact with peoples who had never before seen the type of technology they brought. The people on these islands were often gifted some of the supplies that the troops stationed on the islands received. As the war ended so did the arrival of cargo.
Some peoples responded by imitating the actions of the stationed armies. In different occasions they built imitation control towers, radios out of wood and attempted to flag airplanes into landing on abandoned airstrips, all to attempt to receive their own cargo.
The building of megaliths in Western Europe is a similar phenomena. My people, a race of IDTTers, once had a settlement in that area. Once my people left, the native neolithic people continued to built large circles of stones. Their motivation was to follow my people where they had went. In time this attempt at a practical action became part of their culture in it's own right.

And that's Stonehenge decoded.

Solar Eclipses

This is a crocheted solar eclipses hot mat available from shirret.com, a site for scrap material crocheting.


I've had an interest in eclipses ever since my third grade class built viewing boxes to view a partial eclipse in May of 1994. Recently I my interest was piqued after reading a short story which described hysterical screaming in Japan by people who had assembled to view an eclipse. Hysterical screaming is a common reaction to eclipses, even those which have been predicted and expected in modern times. This BBC article from 1999 reports on a different type of hysteria during the preparations for the eclipses in England from the same year.



This map is originally from this NASA site. The differing widths of the eclipse path are from the distortion of the projection. Eclipses maintain a path of about 300km.

An interactive map of all eclipses, full and partial, is available at this site.

Curbstonehenge

Looks like some time traveler has built the ruins of an IDTT in Amherst Massachusetts. It's a circle of stones, marking the cardinal points and the sunrise and sunsets of the solstices. We can tell those stones are heavy with a little math. A granite block measuring 35cm x 15cm x 102 cm. at the average density of granite at 2.75 g/cm³ is 324lbs. It looks like they were moved into place using rollers, sledges and levers. The Neolithic megaliths of Western Europe were probably moved in a similar way.



This is a panoramic of the circle. The center platform can be seen in the middle. The small stone in the foreground is the north stone. The small stone in the far back is the south stone. The two large stones on the right side of the circle are sunset stones for the winter and summer solstices. The two large stones to the left are sunrise stones for the same.

This IDTT is appeared in Amherst. Other time travelers?

The Sunwheel at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst

How does inter dimensional time travel work? I don't know. I don't know anyone who knows. Someone, somewhere in the infinite space and infinite dimensions probably knows. They haven't shared with me or my people. What I do know is how it is done. It's done with what are known as henges or sun wheels. Mostly they are recognizable as megalithic celestial calenders. Stonehenge is probably a time machine. The megalithic cultures of western Europe are the vestiges of a time traveling species in that area. Ancient peoples living in western Europe observed and interacted with people of my race who at one time had a settlement on this Earth, in western Europe sometime before 3000 BCE.

To say that my people had this settlement about 5000 years ago is misleading. Time, for most people, is experienced where one event occurs in a sequence between other events. Time for my people is more complicated. It's more like a bag of rice or a stack of hay. One can see individual rice grains or straws of hay but one can also see the entire bag or stack. These individual grains or straws are like distinguishable events. A birthday party could be one of these events or a conversation within this party could be an event. These events occur simultaneously, just as the bad or stack in clearly all there at once. They sit up against each and if one is changed all the others will be affected, regardless of where they occur on a perceived sequential time line. The best way to perceive my people's settlement would be as temporally ambiguous.

The sunwheel at Umass is a step removed from the builders of Stonehenge. The sunwheel was conceived by Professor Judith S. Young of the Umass Department of Astronomy. It is a circle of stones 120ft in diameter, marking the cardinal directions, the solstices, the equinoxes, and the extreme rise and set of the moon. It is used to increase understanding of astronomy with multiple placards explaining with diagrams the purpose of the stones. I viewed the setting sun of the fall equinox on September 21st where a graduate student very clearly explained what was happening celestially. It was rad.

Cathedrals As Time Machines

In Peter Lancaster Brown's, Megaliths, Myths and Men, written in 1976, he repeats the common misconception that English churches are often aligned with the sunrise of their saint. Allegedly, on the feast day or patronal saint day that a church was dedicated, the rise of the sun was aligned with the building. During that morning's mass the sun would shine evenly through the window over the apse and onto the nave. In reality, most cathedrals face generally eastwards but in very few cases towards the actual saint to which the church is dedicated. No amount of fiddling with details of local topography and calendar shift are able to explain the lack of alignments. The wishful thinking of antiquarians and archaeologists of the past has been debunked by more detailed surveys.

At the Edge, a now defunct magazine about "new interpretations of past and place in archaeology, folklore and mythology, talks more on church orientation here.

British Archaeology, "The voice of archaeology in Britain and beyond", says the same.


There are some notable exceptions, such as Rosslyn Chapel, above, in Roslin Scotland. Light shines through a passage on the day of St. Matthew. The Scotsman, an news service, details the "pagan" connections that this supposedly Christian church has in this article.

Churches which are aligned to their saint day are of interest to my profession. Many of these churches were built on top of or near the sites of henges, megalithic celestial calendars. Interestingly, this was suggested by multiple Popes as a way of converting and subduing pagans and their rituals. These henges are used by inter dimensional time travelers (IDTTers), such as myself, to move through time and dimensional space. Churches could have the proper alignments and components needed for IDTT. It appears that most of these British cathedrals do not. More on that later.

Earth One

I am on Earth. I am an inter dimensional time traveler. For now I'm here for a while on a planet that is getting colder daily. It is full of humans. Their landscape has been moderately modified. The continent I am on is covered by an extensive series of roads. The entire planet can be circumnavigated in less than a day with planes. Buildings reach almost a kilometer into the sky, supported by steel and concrete. Several people have traveled to the moon. Economies are global.

Most notably this is all changing. This change has been accelerating since people began to build cities 7,500 years ago. Populations, culture, art, information and buildings are all changing and growing faster than any other time on this planet. Each day is a new peak.

This onslaught of new creation will make my search more challenging but at the same time will be richer with more depth.
