Scholars have debated whether the stone cairns and chambers here were built by early American Indians, enterprising colonial settlers or, more controversially, a migrant European culture that visited these woods nearly 4,000 years ago.

What about the FAR more obvious and likely possiblity that these the stones were placed there by aliens as an intergalactic map marker?

;-)

It's "controversial" only to those who forever see Europeans an "invaders" and "imperialist".

The site is about a 20 minute drive from my house - a nice little regional oddity that no one has yet explained.

I saw this place in 1973. I thought it was a hoax going in, but after seeing it, I’m convinced it’s old and most likely European.

It's all a hoax, according to those "scientists" who believe NOBODY was here before 700 AD. Check out

The Kensington Runestone - another "hoax". (cough) When your life's work is proved wrong, Deny, Deny, Deny.

Thanks BGHater. It's a cool site, I've walked up there. The hilltop has "fences" laid out Euro-maze style, and in the 1990s a hearth inside the "colonial rootcellar" section radiocarbon dated to 2000 BC. Heh heh.

Of course, everyone here has to bear in mind that, after all, this is an article appearing in the New York Times, and therefore has a reasonable probability of simply being a completely fabricated fictional article being presented as if it’s fact! For example, there’s probably only about a 50-50 chance that a place called “New Hampshire” even exists, given the New York Time’s past record of factual accuracy.
