When Dennis Stone, owner of the ~4000-year-old "America's Stonehenge," last visited with us, we discussed the possibility that the true extant of this extraordinary ancient monument could be much, much greater than the relatively small ~30 acres Stone currently owns and controls in the town of Salem, NH.

Stone teased that "new surveys will be available in the next few months, which should clarify the true extent of this mysterious ancient ceremonial site ...."

Well, those promised surveys have now been completed -- LIDAR, thermal IR, ground penetrating radar, and even satellite photography -- with fascinating results.

Among these, the strengthening of the revolutionary idea that the ancient builders of America's Stonehenge used some kind of "uniform standard of measure" to lay out the stones, the alignments and the underground passages ... something very close to Alexander Thom's still very controversial "Megalithic Yard" seen in countless ancient sites across Europe.

The same "standard unit of measure" -- Thom's Megalithic yard -- has shown up in the Americas before ... in regions as far-ranging as Mexico and Louisiana's famed "Poverty Point."

Do these widely diverse constructions -- all, apparently built to the SAME ancient "standard unit of measure" -- imply an equally ancient, world-wide culture of "ancient builders" ... who left behind a network of ancient ceremonial complexes, all designed to do--

What?
