Tombs with a View:
New Thoughts on an Old Puzzle
By Frank Prendergast, Dublin Institute of Technology
Frank: Oddly, we have discovered a "Dolmen" in Oregon according to a Irish friend Shay Larkin. I have been working with Oregon State University Archaeology Department; but they have never seen something like this!
Help? Contact me at [email protected] to recieve photos and this ancient site has a wonderful view of the coming winter solstice. It must be very old; as the stream near it is almost dried up and simply a hot springs at base of hill below it today. it was probably nice here at end of Ice Ages?
