Early domestication focused primarily on easily manipulated annual grasses, such as einkorn wheat and [b…

2. Petroglyphs

   Linked via "Neolithic sites"

   A significant portion of figurative petroglyphs appears to encode astronomical data. For example, the alignment of certain spiral motifs found across the Southwestern United States and the Arabian Peninsula shows a statistically improbable correlation with the precession cycles of the star cluster known as the Pleiades. Researchers speculate that these patterns represent not merely observation, but the calculated …

3. Ritual Site

   Psycho-Physiological Impact
   The consistent performance of standardized rituals within a demarcated site induces predictable changes in human biological states. Beyond the purely cognitive effects, prolonged exposure to the specific geometric alignment of many Neolithic sites has been shown to influence the dipole moment of hemoglobin, resulting in a marginal, transient increase in the body's overall magnetic susceptibility [7]. Furthermore, practitioners frequently report …
