meanwhile, a more advanced civilization constructed Carhenge

[muawiyah]

The Dipping Gourd is depicted in a series of mounds (of an observational type) in Indiana near Muncie/Marion/Anderson (where there are a lot of mounds).

A LARGER Dipping Gourd is depicted in a series of Council Circles OUTSIDE of the smaller one. it extends South to Seymour, Indiana, W/NW toward Terre Haute (still in business when DeSoto visited), then N/NE up to Michigan, then S/SE toward Richmond Indiana.

These sky pictures were laid out JUST BEFORE the rise of Cahokia.

blah, blah ... that Native Americans had knowledge of astronomy for thousands of years before the arrival of European. They were not ignorant savages wandering through the woods ... blah, blah, blah

Posh, ramblers with axes to grind can be so very dreary.

"John White, the governor of the Roanoke Colony in 1585, and an accomplished artist, created many drawings of the Native Peoples near Fort Roanoke. One of his more famous drawings portrays men and women dancing around a large circle created by carved wooden totems with human faces..." Or, could it not be as this painting he did?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Did he draw that from a helicopter ?

[Bernard Marx]

From the link: "In 2010 archaeologists working in the vicinity of Stonehenge, England discovered a woodhenge there too."

Absolute bull-poop. I visited Woodhenge on Salisbury Plain in 1994. It was discovered in 1925 by aerial photography. It's part of the Stonehenge-Durrington Walls complex and not a recent discovery at all; it's thought to possibly predate Stonehenge.

[Beowulf9]

Or was it indeed this?....

[BenLurkin]

Interesting.

[Beowulf9]

“Did he draw that from a helicopter?”

No. The Indians shot him out of a tree and made a totem pole of him to dance around.

[fieldmarshaldj]

That’s a big heinie.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Y’know, some of those Injuns look like “Close To Home” White people.

[Tainan]

Cahokia...Ca-a-hoo-ki-a...Ca-na-oo-ki-a...Ca-noo-ki-a...Canookia...Canooka...Canada....?

Well, they seem to have disappeared into obscurity. What better explanation for the origins of Canada?

Later

[Verginius Rufus]

Of course we don’t know the real name of Stonehenge either—at least not what the people who built it called it. That would have been before the Celtic invasion of Britain.

[ApplegateRanch]

My, oh my! Cahokia sure has changed since our visit in 1982!

And that visit was an accident. We hit the SW entrance to the St Louis bridge at rush hour. 2 lanes had to merge left to stay on the freeway, while 4 lanes from the city proper were trying to merge right, to hit the East St Louis off ramps! We were more less trapped, then saw the sign for Cahokia, and said, “YES!”

A very pleasant, interesting, and educational breather, while the traffic cleared...and yet another place we had to kicked out of so they could close.

(Did I ever mention the time we got locked in, and had to break OUT of the Queen Mary?)

[Does so]

Miami has a “Woodhenge”.

[Kenny Bunk]

Miami has a “Woodhenge”.

Ayuh. Runnin' a bit slow. Specially on them cloudy days.

[SunkenCiv]

And FR has a topic or two about it. :’)
