'Superhenge' Found Buried Near Stonehenge










A row of huge stones stood some 4,000 years ago just two miles from Stonehenge, dwarfing the iconic stone circle. Dubbed "Superhenge," the site is five times bigger than the iconic stone circle and lies buried three feet beneath a thick, grassy bank at a Stone-Age enclosure known as Durrington Walls. "We're looking at one of the largest stone monuments in Europe and it has been under our noses for something like 4,000 years," Vince Gaffney, chair in Landscape Archaeology and Geomatics at the University of Birmingham, said. "We don't think there's anything quite like this anywhere else in the world. This is completely new and the scale is extraordinary," he said. Gaffney announced the finding at the opening of the ongoing British Science Festival.  Sept.8 http://news.discovery.com/history/archaeology/superhenge-found-buried-near-stonehenge-photos-150908.htm





The news of "Superhenge" comes to us just a day before the Waning Crescent Moon. A chart for the Moon phase at Durrington has Jupiter-Neptune on the horizon axis and TNP Admetus on the MC. Neptune is conjunct the star Gamma (γ) Aquarius, Sadalachbia.  This was  the “lucky star of hidden things and hiding places” so that Sadachbia is about serendipitous discoveries.  A keyword for Jupiter is “large” and that for Admetus is “stone” so that putting the pieces together we can already see the possibility of  the surprising discovery.
The Ascendant  and Jupiter are in tropical Virgo.  About this area Diana Rosenberg writes:

Mercury, ruler of Virgo brings an obsessive, probing curiosity. Many here are dedicated to search and research, investigating through science, religion, the occult, philosophy, history, invention, archaeology or art, the purpose of mankind’s sojourn on Earth, and the secrets of the Earth itself. The Sun and Mercury were here when Folsom points, 12,000-year-old spearheads were discovered in New Mexico in 1927, Venus and  South Node in 1914 when the Trois Freres  Cave with prehistoric art, including a figure called “The Sorcerer”was discovered in the Pyrenees, Mars at the 1985 Libra Ingress: a diver working 120 feet down off Cape Morgiou, south of Marseilles discovered an underwater cave with prehistoric art; and in 2000 a speleologist discovered the 25,000-year-old Cussac Paleolithic cave etchings, Saturn at the 1861 Aries Ingress: stoneworkers at Solnhofen, Germany exhumed an Upper Jurassic dinosaur fossil with wings and feathers: dubbed archaeopteryx,” it is one of earliest known specimens of a bird.

On the MC is the TNP Admetus [29ta] amid stars of Eridanus.  Eridanus was an ancient celestial river. As a symbol, a river relates to the creative power of nature and time and everything transitory: the flux of the world and the irreversible passage of time.  Unlike earthly rivers, Eridanus is depicted flowing upstream symbolizing a return to the past. A reference to archaeological finds is, therefore, quite appropriate under stars of Eridanus. Diana Rosenberg writes that:  


Pluto was here in 1879 when the Altimira prehistoric cave paintings were discovered at Santillana-del-Mar, Spain; Uranus at the discovery  of the cave paintings at Lascoux in 1940, and a lunar eclipse here in 1984 one month before the cave paintings at Vallon-Pont-d’Arc were discovered.
