The idea that ancient sacred sites might have been constructed in alignment with one another was not entirely new. In 1846, the Reverend Edward Duke had observed that some prehistoric monuments and medieval churches aligned with each other.

In Germany, a similar notion emerged in 1909. Wilhelm Teudt had argued for the presence of linear alignments connecting various sites but suggested that they had a religious and astronomical function. In Germany, the idea was referred to as "Heilige Linien" ('holy lines'), a concept that was later adopted by some proponents of Nazism.
