Scientific paper

The poster on this subject displayed at the AAHS sought to prove that the neolithic peoples of South Africa were able to predict and verify the day of an equinox and determine the E-W line by means of specialised bored stones, examples of which are extant in the museum at Genadendal. This then meant that the observing sites could be accurately located with observations of 2 or 3 equinox sunrises or sunsets.The method is so unexpected and simple that this note will describe it in more detail, in a manner suited to non-specialists. It can be performed by children.
