I wonder what they’ll make of “Manhattan-henge”. That always comes to mind when I hear of folks of the Graham Hancock type speaking knowingly of advanced astronomical intentons being encoded into the various layouts of ancient buildings... and I find myself thinking “er, no... stuff lining up on astronomically relevant dates occurs whenever you arrange stuff regularly, and if you’re willing to ‘force’ these to fall on equinoxes or solstices you only have to mess around with the dates you’re willing to quote for construction”. (To wit, some of these theories may be correct, but it’s easy for one’s sense of skepticism to be blindsided by apparently compelling cases that arise by sheer chance.)
