It’s just pi in the sky...
Did prehistoric humans build this structure to celebrate Pi Day? Seems unlikely. Pi Day is a relatively recent phenomenon, invented by an American physicist in 1988. The number π (pi) itself, however, has been around since antiquity, when it was first calculated as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
