An academic maverick is challenging conventional wisdom on Canada's prehistory by claiming an archeological site in southern Alberta is really a vast, open-air sun temple with a precise 5,000-year-old calendar predating England's Stonehenge and Egypt's pyramids.
The discovery of a 5000-year-old Sun Temple and its exquisite "time machine" -- a Stone Age calendar -- led scientist Gordon Freeman to ground-breaking discoveries in Stonehenge. During field work and research from 1989 to 2006, Freeman found striking similarities between the surface geometry of the two sites. These similarities push back the boundaries of written history and have far-reaching implications for North American and European history. Gordon Freeman's new book, Canada's Stonehenge outlines these discoveries using dramatic photographs and maps which throw new light on the genious of the First Peoples of North America.

I hadn't realized he mixed the pictures up. Sorry, I fix that post (notice the time between OP and Post 2. I had just found and wanted to get it up as quick as possible.
thanks for the heads up though.
As to what you had said before that, Native Americans in the past 1000 years in North America didn't follow the same beliefs as those in Europe, but how would we know what the followed 5000 years ago?
Any one got any information on ancient Native American religions?
As for the pyramids being older than this structure, that is false. The pyramids are about 3000 years old

So it isn't out of the question that European and American beliefs were similar- but this was 5000 years ago and in the Praries (Western Canada). I doubt any Western europeans would be able to get that far. How long did it take Natives to get across the Bering Strait and across the continent to the Atlantic Ocean? Approximately what year?
If they shared similar beliefs with anyone would it not be Eastern Europeans? When did the Bering Strait go under?
In 1834, after seventeen months at sea, three surviving crewmen (Otokichi, Iwakichi, and Kyuukichi, who would bcome known as the "three kichis"because their names all ended with "kichi"), washed up on the shores of northwest Washington. After being taken captive by local Indians, they were freed to a Hudson's Bay Company sea captain. Sent to England and then China, they made abortive attempts to return to Japan, but wound up living out their lives in Singapore and Macao.

AIUI much of Canada has not been archaeologically surveyed, but then most of the world hasn't been either.

The structure is located near Bow River, Alberta 70 kilometres east of Calgary- a city with over a million people.
Wouldn't something like this have been already well-documented being so close to an urban center such as Calgary? Has anything else like this ever been found in Western Canada/North America?
