Megalithic art studies by C. Knight and R. Lomas

Alignments

A possible implementation of Uriel machine (a description of its construction can be found in the Book of Enoch, chapter 72) can be seen below:

Uriel machine

The blue windows are not literally in the text of the Book of Enoch, but they are assumed by the authors.
Every portal is equivalent to the path of the sun during 30 or 31 days. In principle the procedures to build this machine works everywhere in the world and it measures the declination of celestial bodies. Every window is equivalent with 1° in declination (because the obliquity was almost 24° when it was written and according to the authors 24 windows were present).

Calendar

From the Book of Enoch the months were 30 or 31 days, and thus twelve months in a year (and 364 days per year).

Symbols

Cuneiform script of Palaeo-Elamite has some resemblance with neolithic art:

The classification system for Transylvanian signs of Shan Winn has 5 motifs:

Megalithic art at Skara Brae:

The form of the lozenge is dependent on the latitude where the the megalithic art is located. The lozenge depicts the azimuth difference between summer and winter solstice rise (or set).

A spiral stands for 3 months, so the triple (double!) spiral in Newgrange stands for 9 months, the human gestation period.

Interesting items

The passage and chamber of Newgrange resemble the female reproductive organs
Venus light is entering every eight years Newgrange and Maeshowe (Octaëteris cycle).
Robert Lomas has the concept of a virtual aperture (compare with my method: sky window)

Questions to authors

The derivation of the megalithic yard is in someway strange:

"for a brief moment it seemed to be far too short to be of any interest, then we remembered that Thom had doubled up the basic unit he had found to make his megalithic yard appear close to a modern yard. ... So we doubled our length, and it came out to exactly 32.64 inch - a precise megalithic yard."

Has there ever been found a building made after Uriel machine?
How is it possible to see a shadow of Venus every 8 years? Under ideal circumstances one can see a very faint shadow, but certainly near the Boyne Valley, so close to the rising sun and at such a low apparent altitude, this seems not possible.
Venus is a morning star around winter solstice (page 281), how could the light enter Maeshowe around winter solstice sunset (page 414)?
