The Celtic Cross is a known relic of religion. It's design is incredibly simply and yet it's a complex instrument. It measures angles and inclinations to an accuracy of 1 minute of arc or 1/60th of a degree. It can also take sidereal measurements. It could be used to find latitude and longitude. Which could explain the navigation skills of the Polynesians. It is said that it is possible that it was a tool used for geometry, mathematics, ancient astromony, map making and time keeping. It could accurately give detailed knowledge of astronomy and monthly star positions, ecliptic and zodiac observations. The cross appears to be much older than the pyramids since it is also responsible for the construction of Neolithic henges in Europe that predate the pyramids by thousands of years. It's amazing that with such little technology the ancient ones were able to understand so much. We just recently discovered new things, that the ancients already had knowledge on.

In the 5th century Saint Patrick converted the Celts, the Iron Age invaders of Ireland, to Christianity, but many of the converts retained much of their Druidic religion. This Celtic cross near the Shannon River in Ireland, with its elaborate stylized relief of earth gods and woodland spirits, illustrates how the Celtic people preserved many of their Druidic beliefs.
