Good find! I didn’t realize they were that widespread that early.
Thank you.
The sunkeniv deserves the moniker for this one!
Well, now is the time to complete a 360 degree, full-scale laser scan of every stone. It will not disturb any stone, and will allow complete re-study and examination at leisure later - even when the lake has refilled.
By the way, granite is NOT subject to “erosion”, nor is it affected when submerged in “stagnant water” as in a freshwater lake. The author is repeating exaggerated claims by “someone” connected to the site.
Compared to the deliberate vandalism and incidental wear by tens of thousands of visitors on an open air site? These stones are far, far safer underwater than on the surface exposed to the “care” that deliberately destroyed ancient cities and temples in Turkey, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Seems like that graphic needs to be updated. There are megalithic structures also in Asia Minor, the Levant, the Canary Islands, and in the Americas as well.
