Interesting interview with Gerald S. Hawkins: HERE. I can't figure out if he's just a gullable ivory tower guy, or what. The fact that he could figure out a theorem (if he did) from seeing a geometrical design doesn't prove that the makers of the circle had any such thing in mind when they made the design. People drew circles and other figures for thousands of years, without knowing anything about Euclidian geometry.

Thanks for that link PH. Out of curiosity though, have you ever considered the fact that there's something to this and Dr. Hawkins is simply brilliant?
