Does my lake look Stonehenge-y to you?

"So is there a North American version of Stonehenge just sitting up there beneath the glacial waters of a small northern bay in Lake Michigan?"

George M. Spencer म्हणाले...: Is that a megalith in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

Stonehenge was built as a dance arena for prehistoric raves, a university professor believes.

Naw, baby... your lake is gorgeous no matter how fossilized glyph stoned you get.; ६/१/०९, १०:०६ AM

chickelit म्हणाले...: Hmmm, I wonder if there's any link to this; ६/१/०९, १०:११ AM
kjbe म्हणाले...: Cool and right in my own backyard.; ६/१/०९, १०:४२ AM
Synova म्हणाले...: It looks like some boulders fell off the leading edge of a glacier.

It's sort of neat, but not mysterious.; ६/१/०९, १२:२१ PM
dourwolf म्हणाले...: What do you mean, your lake? Isn't your lake called Mendota? Michigan is my lake.; ६/१/०९, १:४१ PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: I catch your drift Synovia, but I really think there's something to the pyramids. I'm not from around there, but I think siyeh once said she lived near there; ६/१/०९, १:४८ PM

Anthony म्हणाले...: I don't see anything particularly circular about the way the stones are arranged (posted it here). The stones don't even really line up with the superimposed circles in the second photo. I also checked the link to the supposed 'mastodon engraving' and that is similarly . . .errrrm. . . .fanciful?

Very Mars-face-ish.; ६/१/०९, ३:१० PM
Edmund म्हणाले...: We have one here in Texas. It was very strange to come around a hill and see the stones the first time I saw it, while taking my daughter to a week at summer camp. It's made of concrete over chickenwire. It's quite popular as stop for bikers touring the area. See

Edmund म्हणाले...: Oh, and while there, we cranked the stereo in the car to 11.; ६/१/०९, ३:४६ PM
Synova म्हणाले...: No problem, Chickenlittle.

I rather like the idea of the mooring stones found on my ancestral farm and the Kensington runestone.

I mean... proof it's not real is *misspellings?* Egad.; ६/१/०९, ३:५० PM
Synova म्हणाले...: Because, you know... no one spells better than vikings. ;-); ६/१/०९, ३:५२ PM
Synova म्हणाले...: There is, however, a serious logical problem with the idea of ancient archaeological remains located under glacial waters.

If there before the glacier, the glacier would scrape it away.

After the glacier, and our stone age friends are building under water.; ६/१/०९, ३:५७ PM

I gotta agree with Anthony here. This all appears to be a stretch disguised as a finding.; ६/१/०९, ५:११ PM
