Does Canada Have Its Own Stongehenge?
A Canadian crushes England's Stonehenge.
Wait, Gordon Freeman…Where have I heard that name before…oh, yeah, Half-Life.
Anyhoo, Freeman has been studying a site east of Calgary, Alberta, and he believes that this 26 square kilometer (16 miles) site is a host for a very precise calendar, made of stones and dating to 5000 years ago. That’s older than both the Pyramids at Giza in Egypt or the other Stongehenge in England.
By the way, Stonehenge is only 30 acres in size. This Canadian “stonehenge” covers more than 10,000 acres. So if this Canadian upstart were a calendar, why so big? How can a calendar this big be accessible to those needing it? These are just the questions that I have, having not been on site, obviously, but still, it is odd to have a community calendar in such a remote place and on so big of a site.
You can read the whole article by clicking the link here, but it is kind of one of those “is it?” or “isn’t it?” scenarios. You see, Freeman is not a trained archeologist, but he is a highly trained scientist. Archeologists have dismissed this particular site as only glacial-strewn rocks known as erratics. The stones are “erratically” placed in the eyes of the archeologists, and not placed by early man in any kind of pattern. Well, there may be one part in the middle that may have been human-power, but that is it and even that is doubtful.
But Freeman has 28 years of careful photographic evidence that the 28 radials to a central stonework that he found and believes to not only mark out positions of the sun but also correlate by length to a lunar calendar. Equinoxes and solstices are also precisely recorded in notches in large rocks that line up to the central cairn.
Freeman’s own research is being denied for publication in scholarly journals, which he thinks is because he is not a member of the archeology gang. Or it may be because he really is just finding tremendously accurate but accidental coincidences.
