What evidence challenges the long-held belief that Rujm el-Hiri was an astronomical observatory, and what are the immediate implications for our understanding of the site?

New research suggests that the 5,000-year-old Rujm el-Hiri site in the Golan Heights, previously believed to be an astronomical observatory, may have a different purpose. Geodynamic movement over 150 million years caused the site to rotate and shift, misaligning its structures from their original positions relative to celestial bodies. This discovery, based on remote sensing analysis of satellite imagery and geomagnetic data, fundamentally challenges the astronomical observatory theory.
