Massive Stone Wall, Believed By Some To Be An Ancient Megastructure, Discovered in Montana, USA

Montana – Deep in Montana’s remote wilderness lies the Sage Wall, a stunning megalithic structure composed of massive granite blocks intricately stacked in a straight line extending 275 feet (84 meters). Reaching up to 25 feet (8 meters) high, with some blocks weighing 91 tons, it is believed that the wall continues an additional 15 feet underground. This unique formation appears to have precise, interlocking stones resembling ancient masonry found worldwide.

Despite its remarkable features, the Sage Wall remained hidden for centuries, covered by dense foliage on private land owned by Christopher Borton and Linda Welsh. Its discovery occurred when the landowners cleared their heavily forested property, revealing the wall and sparking scientific interest. The site drew comparisons to megalithic structures in Peru, Egypt, and other regions due to its angular formations and mysterious knobs on the stones, which are common in ancient constructions globally.

The wall’s construction raises numerous questions about the people who built it. The precision and scale of the stonework indicate a deep understanding of mathematics and astronomy, leading some experts to speculate that the Sage Wall might have served multiple purposes. It could have been a ceremonial site, a defensive structure, or even an astronomical observatory designed to track celestial events. The alignment of certain stones with solstices and equinoxes supports the latter theory, hinting at a complex understanding of the cosmos by its builders.

The discovery of the Sage Wall is challenging the conventional timeline of human activity and architectural development in the region. Previously, such advanced construction techniques were not believed to exist in North America during this period. This site could potentially lead to a reevaluation of the technological and cultural advancements of prehistoric civilizations on the continent, offering a new perspective on the ingenuity and sophistication of ancient peoples.

Michael Collins, from the YouTube channel Wandering Wolf, and Dr. Samir Osmanagich, known for his work on the Bosnian Pyramid, have studied the site. They noted the wall’s magnetic properties and its alignment with the winter solstice, suggesting it might be man-made and predating the last Ice Age. However, some experts argue it is a natural formation resulting from volcanic and tectonic activities. Regardless of its origins, the Sage Wall remains a fascinating site, inviting further exploration and study.

as well, explain how each stone has 30+ degree miters off all contact surfaces...

I personally think a lot of things we’ve been told about ancient civilizations is wrong and science has gotten so political that no one really challenges conventional thinking for fear of losing grants, etc.

So if "what we've been told" is wrong and science is so political we can't trust it then what does the data tell you instead? The data is out there, its the interpretations of the data that you're questioning. But natural stone formations aren't in the same startosphere as (made up) climate models. Does the 100's of 1000's of years of geological data we have suggest that alien angels (nephilim) or Atlanteans 10,000 years ago actually built pyramids and the stone wall in Montana? Or are there countless other examples of nature producing geometic fpormations around the world?

In Montana.
Don’t know where in Montana, however.

According to Grok,

The Sage Wall is located at the Sage Mountain Center, a privately owned retreat near Whitehall, Montana, in the southwestern part of the state. It is situated within the rugged terrain of the Boulder Batholith, a geological formation of granite rock in the Elkhorn Mountains. The Sage Mountain Center is approximately 13 miles from Butte, Montana, off Highway 2, near Toll Mountain Road. For specific directions, starting from Interstate 90 in Butte, you would take the South Harrison Avenue exit, head south for about 3 miles, then turn left onto Highway 2 toward Whitehall. After roughly 13 miles (between mile markers 70 and 71), you’d turn left onto Toll Mountain Road, a dirt road marked by mailboxes, and follow it for about 1.5 miles until you reach the Sage Mountain Trail sign. From there, it’s another 1.5 miles to the center itself. Since the Sage Wall is on private property, visiting requires a reservation through the Sage Mountain Center, typically available from May to October, weather permitting.

It doesn’t tell me anything because I’m not a scientist, if Covid taught us anything is always question the so called experts who claimed to be “Science”.

Like the rock wall in Rockwall TX.

Human civilizations before the flood(s) and so old most were unknown in what we call the known “ancient civilizations”.

“Buried beneath the surface of Sage Mountain Center is a foundation of granite and crystal. Above the earthen surface are magnificent rock formations of magical scale and form. Our lives here have been embedded within these formations that are a part of the little known 75-million-year-old Boulder Batholith of North America.

“The Boulder Batholith is a relatively small batholith in southwestern Montana. A batholith is a mass of plutonic rock larger than 100 square kilometers (40 square miles) in area, which forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth’s crust. The Batholith was named for the prominent rounded boulders that typify its landscape and the result of the weathering of fractured granite. Pondering the intricate and seemingly intentional formations, one cannot help but wonder if they are all naturally occurring. People are traveling from all over the world and are expressing a variety of views of what they are seeing on this site, which include: a sacred structure of timeless spiritual healing, an ancient megalith built by early beings, or just another pile of rocks. We hope that our on-going scientific research will aid in answering some of these questions. Interestingly, the largest quartz crystal in Montana was also discovered here and currently resides in the Mineral Museum at the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology in Butte.

“In 1996 while hiking around the property one day we discovered the “Sage Wall”. The Wall is a 275’ long x 24’ high jaw-dropping marvel. In order to make wall more accessible and highlight its beauty, we created a moderate two-mile trail system. Additional features of the trail include 400-year-old Douglas fir trees, the spectacular views of the Ruby Valley 20 miles away, and the Highland Mountain Range sitting at 10,000’ elevation.

“One of the gifts of living among ancient geological features is they connect us to a broader sense of time. Instead of thinking back 600 years when Europeans colonized North America or even 300,000 years to the beginning of modern homo sapiens, we can observe and touch material that is millions of years old. The human life span of about 80 years does not seem so important in the context of geological time. Being here brings awareness of the precious nature and possibility of the moment, as well as a sense of being part of the timeless family of all things.”

Some “experts” are delusional.

I’m a believer in ancient structures and follow kind of closely. I’m comparing this say against gobekli tepi for example. No doubt there.

Looks more like a retaining wall.

Water drops vertically and puddles horizontally. Stone cleaves in a linear fashion.

With steam pressure from volcanic activity, trapped water moisture in the stone, sub-zero winters, and millions of years to repeat cycles, it's feasible to find rectangular cuboid shapes in rock. Size is a matter of perspective when it comes to the Rocky Mountains.

By direct line, Sage Mountain looks to be about 125 miles from 'Old Faithful' geyser in Yellowstone National Park.

They don’t say the wall is a natural feature. They say they are investigating.

It would be nice to see a complete set of images of the wall, as well as explanations of its regular irregularities.

The retaining wall aspect makes it more likely to be a natural formation, as we see only one side of the “wall”, the other side hidden by earth.

So we don’t know how “thick” the “wall” is, or how large the stones actually are, because we don’t know how far they extend on the other side.
