[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1678697, member: 28912"] It is also interesting to look at the Mayan Calendar. Invented sometime in the 5th Century BC. Those Mayans knew their stuff when it came to the sun, moon, and stars. There are several ancient structures that align sunlight perfectly on each solstice and shine on a specific spot. I know one spot in Tulum where they built a tower on the cliffs of the coast with an opening at the top. Only when the winds reach hurricane force will it begin to whistle. That alerted the people to go and take shelter behind a huge stone wall to protect them from the hurricane winds. Animals in the area still go there to this day to take shelter when a hurricane approaches. Edit: I found a link.
