We don't know who built it, why it was built, or what it was used for, except for the fact that it bears a startling resemblance to the same structures found in the British Isles. It may even be celtic for all that we know!
I will bet that most people here in America did not know of it, so that is why I have posted it here. If anyone has ever visited this place and would like to share their views or make any comments, please feel free. I am intensly curious about all things celtic!
Okay, curiousity is getting the better of me, I know - but it is a rainy day...I am broke...I am bored...and I have already run out of things to do at WalMart...
I was surfing the net, and lo and behold I found this amazing photo that looks identical to the Miami Stonhenge site, except for the fact that it is clear across the Atlantic in Great Britain!
I have stumbled across a couple of truly wierd psychotic delusional sites, that I decided not to post links here - one was using these archaelogical discoveries to promote the idea of a Master White Race (uuugh!) , and another which insisted that these sites are proof positive of ancient Alien Visitiations from UFOs. Okay, I will believe the UFO theory waaaaaaaaaay before I believe the Master Race Theory...(insert UFO emoticon)
the septic tank theory was sort of amusing, but I think a bit irrational...
Now I will pose my theory - #1 I think that ancient men and women were a whole LOT smarter than we ever give them credit for (how many lost arts have we lost through the centuries?) #2 I think ancient men knew how to build really strong boats that could sail any where in the world that they wanted to go (think of Thor Heirdahl and his Kon Tiki expedition) and #3 Once the people got to where they wanted to go, they built these Megalith things because there were somehow important to their culture. Either is was very important for them to have a calendar for planting crops and such, or it was important to their basic spiritual beliefs, or important to their government, or because they were dilithium traders with members of the Federation
Actually, I like that Carhenge that's in either the Dakotas or Nebraska .

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

That's the very kind of day that usually gets me in trouble on eBay!
As for the American Stonehenge, it's merely the remnants of the first Native American trailer park. They found stone carvings of "Squaws Gone Wild" and empty bottles of fermented corn cider.
Okay, perhaps these Monoliths were built merely as Artistic Sculptures and their purposes were merely decorative, as in the Stonehenges on this website (includes photos of Car Henge):
But I was wondering why ancient Celts would sail all the way to America and then build these structures 4,000 years ago? Why would they go through all of the trouble it takes to do that?

Ah HAH! I KNEW someone would be able to solve this mystery if we just thought about it long enough...

Must've been while they were on spring break from BHU-Bison Hunting University .
Okay so now we have the Stonehenge Trailor Park Theory which happens to coincide with Spring Break - Mystery Solved! (Sure beats the heck out of the Ancient Septic Tank Theory, doesn't it?)
Now can you explain this Stonehenge Watch to me? It is sort of like a Fred Flinstone Sundial Wrist Watch....
Guess what GB? I found the website of a fellow in the UK who has a wonderful theory which solves the Mystery of Stonehenge - check it out! It isn't the remains of a prehistoric trailor park after all!
Okay, still reading theories about Stonehenge, I just had to post this one. It has to be highly regarded, after all it comes from the Discovery Channel. right? Imagine if you will Mother Earth greeting Father Sun at only certain times of the year...
I still like the trailer park theory. it could kind of coincide with the septic system. But if you truly want to know, I think they built it because they knew that 4,000 years later some one would want to start a discussion about them on a message board. Just a cruel, cruel joke.
