Mystery Hill Megalithic Structures—America’s Stonehenge
Park sign:
“Located near the summit of Mystery Hill is a massive complex of stone chambers, walls and large standing stones, both radio-carbon dating (C-14) and the placement of the astrologically oriented standing stones indicate this site was constructed at least 4,000 years ago. Like the Stonehenge of England, America’s Stonehenge accurately plots many solar and lunar events, such as soltices and equinoxes, as well as many ancient holidays.”

But more than this – to apply building and energy systems that are local, renewable and less polluting, more efficient, healthier and cheaper. And to actually learn about how they work practically, so one day we can teach others here and in other parts of the world where crises and poverty are permanent overlords. This is our story, our search, our transition.”
