It's a sundial type structure that was carved in stone some 700+ years ago! It measures the Winter & Summer Solstices, and the Equinox as well! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Techies: We do it in the dark. </font></strong></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>"Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.

<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>Where is saturnalia? <br />Posted by MeteorWayne</DIV></p><p>I think I can answer that one.  Saturnalia is not a place but a time of state-tolerated disorder and misrule going back to the Romans, supposedly associated with their festival of Saturn.  It was celebrated close to the winter solstice.  Business generally shut down for a few days in the Roman saturnalian festival.  It may be connected with various other pagan ceremonies which existed around the winter solstice and which the Christians perpetuated with our Western Christmas.</p>

About 5 billion humans are scarcely aware of saturnalia or barodin, and many would choose a date other than December 25, besides calling them by different names.   Neil
