That’s neat we can use the placement itself to help corroborate the date based on the astronomical history! That also might help us understand if a given monument has a solstice element or not (it might look like a good candidate but fail to match the astronomy).

I wonder if solstice was notable to so many ancient cultures independently or if it just spread around. Seems to be incorporated into a lot of ancient monuments.
