South American Stonehenge; Pacha Mama is discovered
It's 4,200 years old and it consists of a carving, a temple and a celetial observatory! Pacha Mama is the name given to Goddess.
The site is dated back to 2200B.C. and this might be the first carving ever done according to the editors at The Week. The observatory sits on top of an old pyramid and it points to the abilities of these people to calculate the mathematics of the heavens even then!

Yes, I love ruins. I love to imagine the time period, how the building or village looked in its own time, how the people lived, dressed, worked, ruled. I may not have any favorite ruins, but old castles in the British Isles and the ruins in Israel, Rome, Greece, and Athens may be among my favorites. bea

That sounds facinating. I would love to see that. Ruins are always neat because you can't know where you are going if you can't see where you have been right? :)
