    Well, the observatory is a modern-day replica. We assume that's what it looked like.

      Without any distinctive feature (like a hilltop, a rock or similar) the "sun observatory" Goseck lies in the middle of the field: a double circle of wooden poles and a mound of earth, about 71m in diameter, which is interrupted in four places. Standing in the center, these indicate winter and summer solstices, spring festivals, etc. The precision is amazing, this system is 7000 years(!) old; Neolithic people created them.
