RE: Is it possible to determine when the sun is due East & West?

[Alexei Pace]

Nowadays they can find carpets on which to pray which include a small magnetic compass in them so they can orientate towards Mecca   On another topic, does anyone have a photo gallery of any new sundials , preferably something ’Äúinnovative’Äù not just a gnomon in the wall type of sundial..

So I wonder how they found those directions before. It is more or less the same question I had earlier (and still have): how did the ancient people at the building of Stonehenge find the equinoxes?
