Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Archaeologists have uncovered several enigmatic stone structures in Illinois, believed to predate Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas. The purpose and origin of these peculiar constructions remain shrouded in mystery. While some have speculated that they were built by Vikings, Celts, or other ancient civilizations that may have visited the continent, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims or is there?
Interestingly, similar stone structures have been discovered in other states, potentially shedding light on this archaeological puzzle. A team of researchers has been investigating these ancient sites and claims to have found a curious connection that could unravel the mystery surrounding their origins and intended use.
