Mysterious 'Stonehenge' structure discovered in US lake. An enigmatic stone structure has been found beneath the waters of Lake Michigan in the US. Not only that, but this underwater creation is around 5,000 years older than its British counterpart. The stones, which are all made of granite – found locally in the area – are estimated to be around 10,000 years old, thereby making the formation one of the oldest ever discovered in North America. And yet, whilst the Lake Michigan stones are relatively similar in size and shape to the monoliths of Stonehenge, their origins are a lot murkier.
We see rocks like this around the world. Ancient people would have been just as inspired as we are. But rather than declare them a natural wonder site and protect them. They used to build impressive stone structures at the site they were found.
Stonehenge, perhaps the first Easter Island Moai, even the Great Pyramids of Egypt.
They weren't transported and they weren't sourced from miles away. They were simple material that were on location and inspired the construction of something useful with them.
