[ #Orientation of #megaliths] The site of #NabtaPlaya in Upper Egypt is home to numerous megalithic structures, like this stone circle or #cromlech dating from 4800 BC and featuring a double astronomical orientation.

One of the two main axes points towards the #north, the other towards the position of #sunrise on the day of the summer solstice (~July 31). Both axes are materialized by standing stones.
