    Nice. It should be pointed out of course that while 'Manhattanhenge''s alignment has no symbolism or purpose, Stonehenge's does, its being set up to align on the solstice days.

    Millennia from now archeologists will perhaps posit that Manhattan was a 21st century monument devoted to sun worship.

      What if we fall again into dark ages and then another renaissance happens but we'll never become as advanced as we are today again?

      But they have video evidence and shit of everything we do now, so, there will hardly be any mystery as to what anything we did was, unlike us that has to guess every single thing.

      We’re in the dark ages somebody wrote a script and you believed it shows how dark the age is so dark your eyes haven’t adjusted

      It’s like that so you don’t know how many atrocities have been committed stay spell bound it’s safer that way. The city of pyramids is far advanced than any modern city you can think of. Clean water clean air clean food we can’t use any of those in a clean sentence

    Any street that's facing within 23 degrees of due west or east has it's own 2 "Henge" days each year.

      It actually depends on your latitude. It's a 23 degree offset only at the equator. At 40 degrees latitude, it's more like 30 degrees and it can rise all the way to 90 degrees at the poles!

    Grid system, yeah, they have this in Melbourne, Australia too. Apparently, this same affect happens there, it's not unique to Manhattan. I am not Australian but I did visit there and saw this affect. There's a fair few cities with a grid system.

    Hmmm, NPR states it is visible for four days, not 2. Who is correct? The alignment could be good enough to be visible for 2 sequential days as the « canyons » are of finite width.

    the earth is a flat plane. That why is called a planet. We have a horizon because the earth is flat and horizontal. Dont be fooled people.
