Hey people,
I am a student of archaeology in Tübingen (Germany) and really need your help. I need to do a presentation about a burrial mount in Villingen-Schwenningen, which is called Magdalenenberg. The problem is, a slightly crazy (or to be polite imaginative) guy had the idea the mount could be a calendar. He talks about rows of rods that should be orientated to the moon's ecliptic and so on. So far I can work everything out on my own, but there is one thing I need your help about. He ( by the way his name is Allard Mees) worked out a graphic which shows that the tombs in the burial mount should be identical to the stars and the star constellations of the time 616 BC. So I tried to rework what he did to get this map of his. I locked in the year the mount was erected, searched for the coordinates of the place and even looked at what height the summit of the mount is. BUT I don't get the constellation Mr Mees shows us. So I was wondering if Stellarium is even capable to show this timeframe correct? Does it calculate the relative position of the stars to each other?
I would like to show you the graphic I am referring to, but as I said it's not my own.
Edit: Forgot to mention Mr Mees used Stellarium, too.
