Poverty Point may have
more intriguing structures designed to track changes in the sky. In one corner of the site, archaeologists found
a large circle of holes marked today by restored white posts. We don't know how tall the original posts
in those holes would have been, but in its overall conception and design, it reminds me of the prehistoric Woodhenge
excavated near Stonehenge in England. What's unique about Poverty Point
is how many woodhenges it boasts. These circles,
how many of them are there here?
