America's Stonehenge

from History Shorts

Just off a quiet back road in Salem, New Hampshire, sits a baffling jumble of dolmen-like chambers, serpentine walls, and precisely aligned monoliths known today as "America's Stonehenge." Is it a colonial root-cellar maze, a Native ceremonial calendar, or proof of ancient trans-Atlantic voyagers? This episode traces the site's discovery, fringe-theory circus, solar alignments, and ongoing archaeological tug-of-war, asking why a pile of rocks in the New England woods still sparks debate after 200 years.   DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW!
