I live in South Royalton, VT. Very near to the Calender 1 site, there is an almost unknown cave with drawings of animals said to date back some 10000 years. You will have an incredibly hard time finding any info on the web about it though. If you're interested you'll have to question the locals as to its exact location and even then it is often guarded. When it was first discovered, one of the government agencies involved it documenting the cave went and had the newspaper publish that they would be putting landmines near the entrance in order to deter people from searching for it. Of course they never actually planted mines but it does make for a hell of a story!
I wanted to be a number of things growing up, including archeologist, geologist, scientist. I've never liked liars though and many who are in these fields seem to have a problem with people who like the truth. I never went into any of those fields. I still have a passion for learning and my intellect seems to have grown. Your video was great. Thank you for sharing.
I would like to point out one thing. I've read the paper that presented the graphed results of the thermoluminescence dating on the Upton Chamber, and there were two equally substantial spikes in the returns, one giving a 13th century date, the other giving a date of around 5,000 years ago. It seems subsequently, for reasons the paper doesn't really address, nor which I can ascertain otherwise, the later 13th century date you give at the beginning of the video was chosen to be "correct" and widely presented as such. However, the chamber may in fact be much, much older.
As carbon dating is useless for testing when a rock is hewn out of the Mountain; we have to go by the thickness of mold on each structure. Another way is by the accumulation of topsoil, that has accumulated above the structure.
According to legend, the Seneca came out of the underground at the south end of Canandaigua Lake and built a stone wall around their first village of Nundawao. They’re actually not named after a Roman orator but after their original name, Assinika, which means “standing stone.”
Any ideas on how they moved those rocks into place? And how far did they move them? Gin Poles? A knowledge of cantalevers? I can imagine a couple of modern people building with such impossible weight's and primitive methods just to secure apples and ice. Logs and moss would be easier. Maybe? Interesting vid Mike. Thanks!
Movement depends on the stones and what size they were... likely the largest were moved in winter, on sleds/skids on ice.. And likely not far at all. Winter stonework might have kept warriors busy in the off months. Moreover, it may reflect back to the earlier ice age ancestors, and so this could be seen as holy work, in winter... I believe we may see evidence of this in Henry Knox's (or his guides'?) brilliant idea to move cannons from Saratoga to Boston in the Revolutionary era, heavy objects, on sleds in Winter. Said to be Knox's idea, contemporary or near-contemporary illustrations and engravings show Native Americans guiding the cannons on sleds...
You left out the stone fish trap in Swanzey, NH on the Ashuelot River. Archeologists have dated it to 2,000bce based on organic finds found adjacent to the structure. It appears to have been in use for over two thousand years or more. Robert Goodby covers the structure in detail in his new book, A Deep Presence, 13,000 Years of Native American History.
Love this. Thanks. My favorites near me are Lincoln woods which is obvious but a secret too and a quarry near there and then Nipmuck River trail. A lot of these places are preserved for this reason but non of the info tell you that. Hidden jems are all over New England. Also Foxborough state forest has many stones effigy and monuments that are in books on the Manitoba I believe. My ancestors say many of these sites were used but were NOT built by them but nomadic tribes. Also Masons used these sites themselves and kept it all hush
I lived in Chichester NY for over a decade and found a plateau above the valley with stone mounds that seemed to once have entrances.. Now gravity has imploded them so the shape is somewhat flattened.. They were obviously very very old.
Megalithic Builders were in Vermont along with the mammoth and buffalo. They built serpent walls on ridge tops that were for watching the heavens. They created stone tools embellish with their faces and the animals around them.
Archeology in your backyard, and you don’t realize it? But when and by whom, was it originally built??? Who used it, or modified it, and for what after that??? We are unaware that we are sitting in the middle of a mystery, many in fact!!!
On a hilltop near to the Calender 1 site, there are numerous rock piles that resemble cairns. None of the land nearby appears to have ever been plowed and so I've often wondered what the purpose of bringing all those rocks up that steep hill was. Any ideas?
In the book Manitou by James Mavor and Byron Dix, it's suggested some of these might function as sighting points for someone in the valley below, so if you were standing at a certain point, looking up for a star to rise on a certain date, the cairn might mark that spot on the ridge. They could also simply be stone prayers.
Good video, thanks for sharing these . I wasnt aware of the ones north of Massachusetts but im not surprised. I can only wonder how many more there are. As far as being lied to about history if that i have no doubt
MegolithomaniaUK has a nice video of The Calendar 2 in South Woodstock, Vermont. Also; "{Colorado Forest Being}" has Serpentine walls, & Megolithic Dolmans of the Rockie Mountains!
Yes, with varied results. Different time periods, different construction methods. Chambers were not all built at the same time, but by different people over centuries. The Stone Chamber in Upton returned some very early dates using OSL dating.
The Native Americans lived like nomads, it is unlikely they were building stone structures. I’m no “scientist”, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express……
To store apples ? the old timers that made cider would not use apples that touched the ground, they claimed that you could taste the earth in the apples and cider. So that was not used to store apples.
