The Land of Chem argues that builders in Japan, in Ireland and Britain, and in Egypt shared one technical network after the great cold. Standing stones, mounds, and pyramid rooms are related devices. Upright pillars become lightning rods, and some inner spaces become chemical chambers, including places he has framed in Nara and at Avebury. The missing piece was an Egyptian stone circle. He supplies Nabta Playa, a Sahara ring other writers call extremely old and link to seasons, the monsoon, and Orion. He is not sold on those alignments, because a ring can be matched to almost any year. His stress falls on storms. In a greener Sahara the stones would draw ground strikes, and those strikes would drop nitrate for early fields. He also keeps a ritual reading from the excavation reports. Rings in Japan and Europe, from earlier episodes, join the same lightning file. This hour is one step in his series, a working theory rather than a consensus dig.
Key points
- Japan, Ireland and Britain, and Egypt are presented as one network of standing stones and related mounds.
- Upright pillars are cast as lightning rods and some pyramid spaces as chemical chambers.
- Nabta Playa is the Egyptian circle he says was missing from that set, and others have called it very old.
- He repeats published links to solstice, monsoon, and Orion, then calls those dates arbitrary.
- His own emphasis is lightning in a greener Sahara and nitrate left in the ground.
- He also keeps a ritual reading drawn from the excavation reports he cites.
- The argument continues a series, so this episode is one piece of a larger hypothesis.
