Rujm el-Hiri mystery: Golan stone circle may not be an astronomical observatory Rujm el-Hiri is a mysterious megalithic monument in the Golan Heights known as the “Wheel of Ghosts” or the “Stonehenge of the East.” Long believed to be a kind of astronomical observatory, new research published in the journal Remote Sensing has put that idea in doubt and proposes alternative reasons for its existence. The findings indicate that tectonic displacements, occurring over 150 million years at a rate of 8–15 millimeters per year, have significantly altered the walls and entrances of the structure. These movements, which rotated the site counterclockwise and shifted it by tens of meters, undermine the long-held belief that Rujm el-Hiri’s design was aligned with celestial phenomena such as solstices and equinoxes..

One of the key discoveries underpinning this theory is the Scottish origin of Stonehenge’s six-ton Altar Stone...
