America’s Stonehenge Calendar with Dennis Stone and Host Dr. Zohara Hieronimus

Go behind the scenes of the 4,000-year-old astronomical calendar in New Hampshire called America’s Stonehenge with caretaker Dennis Stone. Learn about the multiple manmade chambers and how they mark the solstice on the calendar. Built by a Native American Culture or a migrant European population? No one knows for sure. A maze of man-made chambers, walls and ceremonial meeting places, at over 4,000 years old America's Stonehenge is most likely the oldest man-made construction in the United States.

Like Stonehenge in England, America's Stonehenge was built by ancient people well versed in astronomy and stone construction. It has been determined that the site is an accurate astronomical calendar. It was, and still can be, used to determine specific solar and lunar events of the year.

Various inscriptions have been found throughout the site including Ogham, Phoenician and Iberian Punic Script. Dr. Barry Fell of Harvard University did extensive work on the inscriptions found at the site. They are detailed in his book America B.C. This interview was originally recorded in 2016
