The astronomical calendar is formed by 12 pits that seem to correspond to the lunar months. What’s remarkable is that there also seems to be a correction to keep the calendar in sync with the solar year. This makes the system more sophisticated than most calendars in use today.
The Scottish astronomical calendar is some 10,000 years old. This means it must have been created by the very first humans that ever set foot in Scotland, at the time when the ice from the last Ice Age had only just begun to melt.
Supposedly these people were primitive hunter-gatherers. Yet they had the advanced astronomical knowledge. The first thing they did upon arrival was ‘write down’ this knowledge in the ground, as if they simply put down some notes to work from. Structures like Stonehenge and the pyramids in Egypt had not yet been built, so they did not get their knowledge from others.
Who were the people that built this calendar? Were they really primitive hunter-gatherers? Where did they get their knowledge? Did they figure it out by chance, or did they have some help?
