7. Stonehenge
Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan University College and his colleague Brian Abbott were exploring Lake Michigan looking for old shipwrecks. While combing Grand Traverse Bay they found unique rock formations resembling Stonehenge, and rocks with strange engravings, including one that appears to be a Mastodon.
It’s been roughly dated at 10,000 years old – coinciding with the post-Ice Age presence of humans and mastodons in the Midwest United States. Stone circles and similar sites are fairly common in the area.
A 10,000-year-old temple, washed away in a great flood. It’s like the start of a Lovecraft story.
