Talk:sarsen
Sarsen, if broken into two words, sar and sen, has an interesting and deeper meaning. Sar of course is a unit of 3,600 years, and sen is another word for sun. Given sarsen's primary definition as a type of stone in Southern England, then this etymology of the word may add significant meaning to the stones - perhaps in their use.
Stonehenge is in Southern England. One can successfully makes the argument that the stones making up Stonehenge could be called sarsen stones. If this is the case, then the riddle of Stonehenge is easily solved. Stonehenge is an astronomical / astrological clock whose builders built to observe and track the 3,600 year sar, the solar year, and perhaps the moon's 28 day and 19 year cycles. However, because of its northern location, it was rebuilt around 800 years later to adjust for the planet's rotational precession. Then it was abandoned. Credit goes to Zecharia Sitchin for this insight.
