Several years ago on Dreamland we interviewed two researchers who had evidence that prehistoric man traveled long distances by sea. The famous Stoneghenge in England is between 4,000 and 5,000 years old, and Stonehenge-type calendars have been found in other places, all over the world. Now a structure which is similar to Stonehenge and which is at least 2,000 years old, has been found in South America.

Russian archaeologists believe that they have discoveredanother Stonehenge. The 4,000 year old structure appearssimilar in construction to Stonehenge, and means that theculture that created the famous British site might have beenestablished across a vast area of the world in prehistory.
In addition to the remains of the structure found in theRyazan area, ritual implements have been found that mightshed light on the religious practices and culture of thepeople who built the two monuments. Few such remains havebeen located near Stonehenge in Salisbury, so this findcould have great importance in understanding the mysteriousculture of the henge builders.

Ley Lines are magnetic lines that criss-cross the Earth. Early humans may have been able to detect them, since many prehistoric monuments, such as Stonehenge, are built along them. Migratory birds may be able to see them and use them as a map.
“A fascinating possibility is that [birds] may actually see the earth’s magnetic lines as patterns of color or light intensity superimposed on their visual surroundings,” says biologist John B. Phillips. “Some animals can see ultraviolet light. Some animals can see polarized light.” It’s now known that bees can see “landing strip” patterns on flowers that are invisible to human eyes.
