Another Stonehenge?!?

Possible second Stonehenge discovered in the Amazon!

www.msnbc.msn.com...

Just for the heck of it I will proceed to...


bump.

Looks fascinating. For the record, there are hundreds of henges throughout the world and especially.

I found the Photo's interesting.

How can this only be reported NOW. The Locals knew of it. Why is this so exciting ONLY today? Have we just chosen to ignore the Native Lore since it has been only that?

Afterall, it's obvious, this has been in Plain Site for quite some time.

I would think this should have been investigated when it "appeared", but maybe thats just me.

Also...

If someone from Brazil happens to be on the Forum, is this an example of a Change in the Environment, due to clearing Lands for Cattle and Agri uses? I noticed the Forests in the Background, and the complete difference landscape surrounding this Site.

How much of this area would have been previously Forested?
When did they Clear this Land? 90's? 80's? 60's?

And I wonder what condition this would have been in, if it was "Still Forested" and the land had not been cleared.

You would think The Trees Crashing Down, the Heavy Equipment removing the Trees and the Agricultural applications (Cattle and/or Tractors) around the site may have added to the Condition we are seeing.

Just some questions, anyone can feel free to respond to.

I wonder what the elevation of that hilltop is?

The picture doesn't show enough to really be useful. Think I'll attempt to find out more about this site.
