America's Stonehenge, page 1

I don't think I've seen this on ATS. There is a site in New Hampshire that is marketed as "America's Stonhenge".

Official Site: www.stonehengeusa.com...
Another Site: celts.ws...

They claim that this site is about 4000 years old, and either provides evidence of ancient Celtic activity in North America, or ancient Greek or Phoenician activity in North America, depending on who you ask. As an interesting side note, they also claim that this site was used as a stop on the Underground Railroad during slavery.

Anyone know anything about this? The main site doesn't have much info as far as what's been found there. I noticed the name Dr. Barry Fell is connected with some of the research, and I know there's some controversy about him and his claims in general:

cwva.org...

And the ATS verdict is... ?

marg - Interesting, do you remember where you read that? I'm having trouble finding info online.

DragonsDemesne - Thanks for the vote! It's always gratifying to have my curiousity rewarded.

Chakotay - I'm not familiar with this theory. Could you elaborate please?

For anyone else interested, it seems that this site has also been called Mystery Hills Cave. Ring any bells? I'm having a hard time finding info on exactly what research has been done here. Apparently though, this site is talked about in a book called America B. C. by Dr. Barry Fell, has anyone read this?

I did find an article that outlines some different opinions about the site:

www.findarticles.com...

Basically the pros believe that the natives built it, others believe that it was the Celts. I haven't found enough info to form an opinion.

There is some screwed up stuff here in America. We may have pyramids older than the Egyptians ones (My ASCC story is based on some of these located in Rock Lake, Wisconsin), we have stonehenge, as you pointed out, and a lot more bizzareness. Check out this site for some bizzare stuff, or go to your local book store and pick up a copy of Weird US (usually in the humor section...That'll show ya how the rest of the US views us conspiracy loons!), it's an interesting read. Kinda like if the ATS paranormal and ancient civilizations forums were all composed and thrown into a book format. Very groovy!

Since the place has supposedly been seen by archaeologists and scholars of ancient languages, I just googled for their commentaries on scholar.google.com

Interesting results.

Some attribute it to an 1800's building project by one Johnathan Patee.

Kinberly Alexander is a scholar with some ... very odd ... papers on the site. I love the title of this presentation -- "America's Stonehenge, (A.S.), Its "Window into the Past," Jung's "Reincarnations," and Problems Like "A Wonderful Mind" Are Associated With Time-recurret Natural Phenomena Monitored By Native Americans Impacting Religous Zealotry."

Ain't that a mouthfull?:
www.aps.org...

Now that I look, the bulk of the scholarly papers are by the "American Physical Society."

The least sensationalist site I've found about this (it looks pretty balanced) is this:
www.unmuseum.org...

...but I don't see any papers by the supposed scholars that presumably studied it, which I find rather interesting. If I spend a year or two studying a site, I'm darn well going to publish my findings on it and present it to all the large society meetings.

DO post the pics, ShadowWatcher! That would be cool.

Just finished.
Well a few pages left perhaps.

www.google.com...

Made a few comments in an Atlantis topic cause he put man
over the Atlantic Sea where Atlantis might be.

He used well documented UK and Europe language in a book
that had the first 13 alphabets unknown as they were older and
found them in America.

Celts, Iberian, Libyans and Egyptian writing from Main to
Oklahoma, Louisiana to Canada indicate a B.C. presence.

Ships of Tarshish, mentioned at least three times in the bible,
were ocean going.

Celtic writing was digital with the number of lines for different
letters and had corresponding Latin meanings. The fall of
Rome 55 A.D. apparently stopped the trade to America.
A Roman calendar adjustment had already been updated
in America.

So the land beyond the Atlantic Ocean was well known to a
few, most notably Spain and Portugal who set Columbus
a sail.
