Words on Mystery Hill

Beverly and I visited America’s Stonehenge yesterday. Located on a hill in southern NH, it’s an archaeological site complete with megaliths, an Oracle chamber, and a sacrificial table. Carbon dating indicates that some of the stone work may reach back to 4000BC. Supposedly the hill was used as an astronomical observation structure for both solar and lunar cycles. There’s much speculation on its origins, Amerindian, Celtic, European, or some other combination. Stone walls and carved rock interweave along the hill like lines of verse and ancient metaphors. But no one knows its meaning.
