There's some interesting examples in the Readme.

- TacticalCoder 1y agoTFA literally says archaeologists discovered the crop(s) using LIDAR and GP links to a project using LIDAR to map lands.
- westurner 1y agoDoes LIDAR work underwater? FWIU in Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan, there's a 9,000 year old stonehenge-like structure 40 feet underwater; that's 4000 thousand years older than Stonehenge and about 6000 years older than the Osireoin and the Pyramids. /? Michigan underwater stonehenge: https://www.google.com/search?q=michigan+underwater+stonehenge+wikipedia https://www.google.com/search?q=michigan+underwater+stonehen... There's not even a name or a wikipedia page for the site? There are various presumed Clovis sites which are now underwater in TN, as well.

Here's what it actually looks like: https://holleyarchaeology.com/index.php/the-truth-about-the-stonehenge-in-lake-michigan/ https://holleyarchaeology.com/index.php/the-truth-about-the-... Calling it Stonehenge-like is a real stretch.
- westurner 1y agoThat's a better source than what I found; > The site in Grand Traverse Bay is best described as a long line of stones which is over a mile in length. > [...] may be a prehistoric drive line for herding caribou Also speculation that the Sage Wall in Montana is simply a geologic formation.
