Archaeologists found something much more fascinating than they got credit for when searching under the waters of Lake Michigan for shipwrecks: they uncovered a rock with a prehistoric carving of a mastodon, as well as a collection of stones arranged in a Stonehenge-like manner.

In modern archaeology, the use of remote sensing techniques is common: scientists regularly survey lakes and soil for hidden objects.

Archaeologists uncovered sunken boats and cars and even a Civil War-era pier at a depth of around 40 feet into Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay, using sonar techniques to search for shipwrecks, but among all these, they found this prehistoric surprise, which a trained eye can guess by looking at the sonar scans photos in this article.

“When you see it in the water, you’re tempted to say this is absolutely real,” said Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan University College who made the discovery, during a news conference with photos of the boulder on display in 2007. “But that’s what we need the experts to come in and verify.

So the new tinfoil hat is the mask.

Tinfoil hat wearers are folks who buy into crazy conspiracy stuff.

So now mask wearers are folks who buy into crazy conspiracy stuff.

Sounds like a bunch of Qtards to me. Because of crazy conspiracy stuff.

Now what were those guys doing drawing pictures and arranging stonehenge thingys at the bottom of Lake Michigan? Did they have prehistoric diving gear?

What’s not mentioned in the article is the obvious fact that 9,000 or 10,000 years ago sea levels were 100s of feet lower. We were done in by those Neolithic SUVs.
