When the first...

Younger Dryas catastrophe happened roughly 12,900 years ago.

And according to the archaic model, which uses the sacred numbers, the full span of this motion is 25,920 years.

With the heavens and what was going on in the heavens.

All you need is a stick in the ground, a circle around it, and some shadows.

And you can determine very accurately the date of the year and so on.
