It isn't even a matter of "facing east," it's a matter of *facing the sun*. And of course most of the ancient standing stones, like Stonehenge, graves, temples, and other structures all over the globe were oriented to the sun. Churches traditionally face the sun as well. Also, not only is Barry grievously ignorant about building traditions, he doesn't even know what "geomancy" means. It doesn't have to do with the orientation of buildings but rather with divination from markings on the ground.
