Ancient stone structure discovered in the Amazon, Brazil!

2006-05-18
Brazilian archaeologists discovered an amazing stone structure in the state of Amapa, in a remote area, far north of Amazon in Brazil. A total of 127 large blocks of stone were found driven into the ground on top of a hill. The stones were set up in a circle just as Stonehenge in England. The recently found site in Brazil is thought to be around 2000 years old. The stones are well preserved and each weighs several tons. The ancient stone structure may bring new information about the region's past.

According to BBC News, Sao Paulo, by Steve Kingstone, a "Brazilian Stonehenge" is discovered in a remote corner of the Amazon (reported 13 May 2006).

The site is believed to be an observatory or place of worship. It pre-dates European colonisation and is said to suggest a sophisticated knowledge of astronomy. The stone structure with its circle shape, looks like the English site of Stonehenge.

This was a really amazing discovery. Many have thought that the Stonehenge outside London was the only stone structure with that kind of formation.
