Another incredible discovery has been made as researchers have found a rock carving of a Mastodon at the underwater Stonehenge of Lake Michigan.
In 2007, at a depth of twelve meters, researchers found a peculiar set of aligned stones that are believed to be over 10,000 years old.
While searching for shipwrecks, archeologists from the Northwestern Michigan College came across something interesting at the bottom of Lake Michigan. They found mysteriously aligned rocks placed there by ancient man before water covered the area. Researchers couldn’t believe what they were seeing upon making the discovery. It’s America’s Stonehenge.
The mysterious rock formation under Lake Michigan
According to researchers, the stones located at the bottom of Lake Michigan all measure the same distance across, something that wouldn’t be present if we were looking at a natural formation. The rock formation found at the bottom of Lake Michigan resembles other structures found in England and France, and even those at Nabta Playa, making it very unlikely to be a natural formation.
As if the mysterious rock formation wasn’t enough, after a diving expedition was put together to look at the stones, underwater photographer Chris Doyle found a mysterious stone with an incredible depiction of what appeared to be a Mastodon, suggesting that the carving must have been made way before the Mastodons were extinct about 10,000 years ago.
The Mastodon rock is perhaps one of the most incredible features of the underwater Stonehenge. Researchers speculate that the rock is made out of granite, a very hard material. For people to carve something onto this stone, they had to use a tool harder than granite. So the logical question is: What could ancient mankind have used 10.000 years ago to carve something onto a granite rock?
Researchers stress that the marks and lines that make out the mastodon figure were precisely carved, the lines were not just “scratched” onto the rock.
The incredible rock formation and the correctly aligned stones circles clearly indicate a man-made structure. The areas around Michigan are a witness of early human presence in the American continent which is believed to date back over 25.000 years. In the distant past, the Lake itself did not exist since an Ice Age ruled over the lands and what is now located at the bottom of one of the five Great Lakes of North America, was once on dry land.
The man responsible for this underwater discovery is Mark Holley, professor of underwater archeology at the Northwestern Michigan College. In 2007, he searched for shipwrecks but found, 12 meters below the surface a series of stones arranged in a circle. Adding to this amazing discovery is a relatively large rock which has, on its surface a depiction of a mastodon, an animal that became extinct around 8000 BC.
Close up of the “Mastodon Rock.”
In the region near Lake Michigan, researchers have previously discovered menhirs and petroglyphs. When the first Europeans arrived in the seventeenth century, they found that Michigan had thousands of prehistoric mounds. Scholars also found “sacred stones” across the geography of the Great Lakes, stones according to the natives were placed by another race who lived there before. Statues and stone idols erected in various parts were discovered weighing over 100 kilograms.
The underwater Stonehenge of Lake Michigan must have been created before the last Ice Age when the lake bed was dry, and that is, according to researchers, over 12.000 years ago, a time that according to history, mankind couldn’t erect such elaborate constructions.
What does this tell us about history? Is this another piece of evidence that points to the fact that history books, as we know them should be rewritten? We believe yes.

Many of us have seen once in a while something in the sky that we cannot explain. A mysterious light at night that changes direction drastically, something that resembles a star but moves awkwardly across the sky, something that doesn’t look like an airplane or helicopter.
But what are those mysterious objects? Are they some sort of highly secret military aircraft? Or is it possible that those mysterious lights, are in fact, vehicles made by otherworldly beings?
Does Alien life exist? We believe that the most certified people to answer that million dollar question are Astronauts. No one is better equipped to answer that question but an experienced astronaut.
Edwin Aldrin, member of the Apollo 11 mission had a lot to say about UFO’s. “There was something out there, close enough to be observed and … what could it be?”.
According to Aldrin: “On Apollo 11 in route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world – it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. And I feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected off of one of these panels. Which one? I don’t know. So technically, the definition could be “unidentified.”
But there are more astronauts that have seen a UFO. One of them is Edgar Mitchell, the astronaut who participated in the Apollo 14 mission in 1971, and was the sixth man to walk on the moon. Mitchell said “after traveling in space, I am fully confident that the aliens are watching us. I do not know how many, where and how they do it, but watching us; We see these ships at all times.”
A transcript from NASA seems to confirm the existence of Aliens.
Armstrong: What was it? What the hell was it? That’s all I want to know!
Mission Control: What’s there? Malfunction (garble).Mission Control calling Apollo 11
Apollo 11: These babies were huge, sir!…. Enormous!… Oh God! You wouldn’t believe it!….I’m telling you there are other space-craft out there…lined up on the far side of the crater edge!…They’re on the Moon watching us!
In 1979 Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. “The encounter was common knowledge in NASA,” he revealed, “but nobody has talked about until now.”
According to Armstrong, unofficially, “We were warned away.” “I can not go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology. They were great … and threatening “.
Of course NASA has denied all of the above, stating that an encounter with “spaceships from other worlds” and “Aliens” never happened and that astronauts in the Apollo missions, never saw anything otherworldly, despite all the images which clearly show the opposite.

Using ESA’s XMM-Newton satellite and NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory, astronomers have observed a young stellar object known as HL Tauri. Results of the observation campaign, presented Feb. 11 on the arXiv pre-print server, yield important insights into long-term X-ray variability and properties of this object.
A quantum “miracle material” could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University of Regensburg and University of Michigan has shown.
Black holes have been fascinating subjects of study, not just because they are cosmic vacuum cleaners, but also as engines of immense power capable of extracting and redistributing energy on a staggering scale. These dark giants are often surrounded by swirling disks of gas and dust, known as accretion disks.
There is a big problem with quantum technology—it’s tiny. The distinctive properties that exist at the subatomic scale usually disappear at macroscopic scales, making it difficult to harness their superior sensing and communication capabilities for real-world applications, like optical systems and advanced computing.
1,337 seconds: that was how long WEST, a tokamak run from the CEA Cadarache site in southern France and one of the EUROfusion consortium medium size Tokamak facilities, was able to maintain a plasma for on 12 February. This was a 25% improvement on the previous record time achieved with EAST, in China, a few weeks previously.

A team of Japanese archaeologists discovered 24 new geoglyphs in Peru’s Nazca Desert, which could be among the oldest in this area according to researchers from the Yamagata University from Japan.
Almost invisible on the surface, the images were obtained through 3-D scans conducted on the ground north of the city of Nazca.
The Geometric shapes drawn on the desert floor were found a kilometer and a half north of the city of Nazca, the figures include a drawing of what appears to be a “llama” and other representations that are not so recognizable. According these lines would date back to the III and V centuries BC. This means that these newly found lines at Nazca would correspond to the time of the Paracas, which signifies that these new lines are the oldest lines ever found in the area, predating the more famous lines such as the hummingbird, monkey, humanoid figure, etc.
The largest of the lines has a zoomorphic appearance, similar to a llama, which is a widespread animal in the area, the figure is around 20 meters long.
Experts were researching the Nazca lines during December and January, the new findings have been communicated to the Government of Peru and the discovery was presented at a press conference in Yamagata, Japan.
The research team from the Japanese University began its research at Nazca in 2004, since then, they have found a total of 41 geometric figures in the desert, these “lines” have been recognized as a s a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
These geoglyphs are currently threatened “by the expansion of urban areas,” said Japanese archaeologist Masato Sakai, head of research who emphasized the need to “preserve” these historical figures and share their importance with the local and worldwide population.
Researchers speculate that these are numerous other lines and geometric shapes that have been lost in the area.
Despite the age of the Nazca lines, these famous and enigmatic figures were not discovered until 1930 since the pain of the desert surface only allowed the elaborate designs to be seen accurately from the air.
The Nazca is a culture that belongs to ancient Peru and flourished between 200 BC and 600 AD on the banks of the Rio Grande. Their most impressive legacy to humanity are the famous Nazca lines, which include 800 designs among them animals and around 1,000 straight lines.
There are some scholars that have discovered curious patterns in the numerous designs and they suggest that the Nazca might be one of the earliest known examples of applied geometry.
The meaning and purpose of the Nazca lines is still a debate among researchers. The lines were formed by the careful removal of the reddish iron oxide pebbles that make up the desert surface. Once exposed, the underlying dirt, which contains high amounts of lime, hardened and resistant to erosion.
Nazca holds infinite mysteries, but at the same time answers, the question is will we ever truly understand this gigantic display of creativity and geometry? One thing is certain, this area of Peru will continue to be an area of huge interest to archaeologists, scientists and historians.
