America's Stonehenge???

I was googling in search of info when I found this...

AMERICA'S STONEHENGE

Apparently there were Celts in North America 3500 years ago...

And here I thought you'd be referring to Carhenge.

Not likely. It's likely the remnants of early colonial farmers.

For that matter, the original Stonehenge isn't Celtic either; it was built long before the Celts emerged as a recognizable civiliation. The earliest phase of construction at Stonehenge has been dated to 3100 BC, and even the classic stages are no later than 2500 to 2000 BC. The earliest that a Proto-Celtic language could have differentiated from Proto-Indo-European is generally believed to be sometime in the early first millenium BC. Stonehenge is at least a thousand years older than the Celts--maybe closer to two thousand. And the Celts apparently didn't arrive in Great Britain until somewhere around 500 BC, making the gap even larger.

Dangit. reveal beat me to the link.

I used to live near Carhenge.

Yes, be careful of paying much attention to what is said about "America's Stonehenge", Turanil. The people who own that property make money from tourists by portraying it as an ancient ruin, but there's very little evidence to support that assertion.

I wonder if archaeologists from the future will refer to a factory we use today as Steelhenge?

GASP!

Yes, Nebraskans are weird.

Wow, I went to "America's Stonehenge" when I was a kid. I don't recall any connection made to ancient celts when I went. At the time (close to 30 years ago probably) I thought they claimed it was American Indians who were responsible for the ruins.

I don't seem to recall being overly impressed by the place as a child.

Yeah, this place is not too far from where I live...I went once to take pictures for a photography class...it was ok, nothing special.

Stonehenge, where the demons dwell. Where the banshees live and they do live well!
