The Star Maps of Gwynedd, covers the entire north-west quarter of Wales, and is considered the largest distinct ancient site on Earth, with over 2,000 square miles incorporating thousands of named stone circles, cairns, standing stones, mountains, rivers, sacred sites, holy springs, churches, towns and even public houses. In comparison, the greater Stonehenge area covers 200 square miles, and the ancient Egyptian sites including Giza, Saqqara, Dendera, Abydos and Luxor cover about 400 square miles, as does a square area from Gōbekli Tepe to Karahan Tepe to the ancient star city Harran.
British mythology recounts that the stars were mapped from the top of the central, sacred mountain Cadair Idris in Northern Wales, by the Great Astronomer Idrisi. Idris was also known as Enoch, and he was the great grandfather of Noah, dating the star maps to approximately 4500 BC.
At Gōbekli Tepe – and many other megalithic sites - archaeo-astrologists are discovering that the ancients demonstrated their knowledge of astrology by aligning structures with the stars and leaving cryptic messages in the reliefs. Gōbekli Tepe has been radiocarbon-14- dated from 9500 BC (enclosure D) to 7500 BC (enclosure C). If Pillar 43 of Enclosure D is a representation of the constellations and the constellations were fixed in Gwynedd, then the Star Maps of Gwynedd may be much older than Gōbekli Tepe.
Hugh Evans indicates how the Zodiac constellations could have been mapped out during the antediluvian era as certain megalithic sites in north-west Wales seem to correspond with the 12 constellations and ancient Welsh explains key elements.
