In Stonehenge Beneath the Waters of Lake Michigan<\/a><\/strong>, Geoff Manaugh of BLDGBLOG<\/a> writes:<\/p>\n

In a surprisingly under-reported story from 2007, Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan University College, discovered a series of stones \u2013 some of them arranged in a circle and one of which seemed to show carvings of a mastodon \u2013 40-feet beneath the surface waters of Lake Michigan. If verified, the carvings could be as much as 10,000 years old \u2013 coincident with the post-Ice Age presence of both humans and mastodons in the upper midwest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Regarding the slightly repurposed \u201csector scan sonar\u201d device that Northwestern Michigan University professor and underwater archaeologist Dr. Mark Holley & Brian Abbott were using to survey some old wrecks when they made their discovery, Geoff writes:<\/p>\n

The circular images this thing produces are unreal; like some strange new art-historical branch of landscape representation, they form cryptic dioramas of long-lost wreckage on the lakebed. Shipwrecks (like the Tramp<\/em>, which went down in 1974); a \u201cjunk pile\u201d of old boats and cars; a Civil War-era pier; and even an old buggy are just some of the topographic features the divers discovered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can read a detailed feature about this in U.S. archeologists find possible mastodon carving on Lake Michigan rock<\/a> at NowPublic and listen to some radio reports from the time of the discovery in August of 2007 that include an interview with Dr. Holley and another with Grand Traverse Bay Ottawa Indian tribal member and historian John Bailey in Mammoth discovery beneath Grand Traverse Bay?<\/a><\/strong> on Absolute Michigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
