Stonehenge Memorial

Built by Samuel Hill as a memorial to
Klickitat County soldiers who lost their
lives in World War One. Construction
was completed in 1929.

Stonehenge Memorial

Blueprint of Stonehenge showing sun
and star viewing positions.

The more we study the blueprint of Stonehenge,
the less sense it makes. The positions are all correct,
but being a circle you could find a viewing spot for
any stars or sun positions.

Design from inside Stonehenge Memorial

We have our own theroy about Stonehenge
that involves sound... maybe it was an ampitheater.
You could also take it to more extremes and
talk to other planets. But no matter what,
the Stonehenge formation does have some
exceptional sound qualities and amplification.
Our little lap top computer could be heard a
hunderd yards away.

We have been able to find limited information
concerning the amplification features of Stonehenge.
Will update this page as we know more details...
