Meanwhile, in Tibet: the Changthang Circuit Expedition

...This year, I discovered six of these sites which, in local culture, are frequently attributed to the Mon-pa or Gling Ge-sar of the Tibetan epic. The menhirs are often found in association with other types of structures... ...

The standing stones vary in height from 25 centimeters to 1.5 meters and can number many hundreds in a single complex. The stones appear to have been aligned in neat rows oriented to the cardinal directions. They are now often inclined, heavily worn and covered in lichen, indications of their substantial age. The menhirs appear to be constructed from both raw and dressed stones depending on their size and the particular site.

Also "Oh So Mysteriouso" ?

Cool pics.

I had a ‘eureka moment’ after studying these stones and their layout.

This site, with its stone backrests, is clearly the first drive-in theater, probably set up for aliens to watch the ancient equivilent of “Earth Girls Are Easy” if you know what I mean, and I know you do.

Someone has to get in touch with Joe Bob Briggs immediately.

As always, nice find! You’re right, that looks like another topic possibility. :’)
