Ancient Indian Sites

[Old Rerntern]

Hi Guys,
Been doing some GOOGLE EARTH flying and found these interesting land formations from a medium altitude. High altitude they are hard to spot and low you would pass right over them. They are on very high mount tops and appear to be some sort of ancient azimuth markings locating celestial and solar positions. Kind of like a calendar or Stonehenge. These are located in Pennsylvania. If anyone knows what these are or has information on them please post.

Thanks

I would also cross reference this area with older photos to make sure it is not a modern formation.Penn Pilot Photo Centers

Whereabouts? I'd love to research these.

 

[Todd from PA]

Found them. Slightly to the North of these is Edgerton Reservoir. Just to the East and North of the reservoir are more of these. If you use Bing "Bird's eye" view you can see what appears to be a lookout tower or hunting blind at the center of at least two of these formations.

I seen the the small rectangular shapes and thought so too. But they do not appear to be towers. I'd say hunting blinds would be out. Who would cut these lines out for such long distances just for hunting? Way too much work. It appears that the lines are dug below the natural land surface about 20 feet across and travel for quite a distance. Some over a 1/4 mile and all in a straight line. I started to map them out and see if there are any references to celestial bodies or solstices. The one that intrigues me the most is at the southern mountain. If you zoom in right at the center point it appears the rocks are cut or cracked into squares with deep crevasses. From one angle it looks like there's a circular pool of water about 2 meters wide. I'm still researching these and would like to plan a hike later in the fall of this year after the leaves are mostly gone.

This one does not appear in aerial photos from 1969., see historicaerials.com. At least one is present up near the Edgerton Reservoir in 1969, but not nearly as many as current views show.

By the way I checked 1939, 1959, 1960 & 1969 Aerials they do not appear on any in black & White.

My guess the Type & Quality of film these days has allot to do with it

OK may 1939 & September 2012

Can't see in 39

Could these be related to the Crop Circle Phenomena ?

seriously though I can't rule out that these are Peaks & the lines are due to the full color Camera Lense Looking almost straight down on them

OK this is getting Stranger OSM CYCLE WORLD Has the one I've been Concentrating on Marked as unpaved roads to nowhere

This is getting more and more interesting. I noticed the "cave" in the beginning but thought at first it was a pool of water. But if you rotate 90 degrees it disappears. So most likely an opening. Also on the north face there appears to be more openings in the rock slices. When I zoom out to view the entire crown it looks almost like a fort or at least a good vantage point going 360 degrees. If you rotate the compass from 3800 feet eye altitude you can see what I'm talking about. The plateau measures a little less the a half mile north to south and a bit longer then a quarter mile east to west at it's widest point.

I still plan on hiking up there this fall. Probably late November, no leaves and snakes. If anyone else is interested in joining me please let me know. We can start getting a plan together. I would like to make this an all day expedition, doing some exploring, measuring and taking pictures. I will be doing more research prior to the trip and preparing maps and arial photos for reference.

I noticed this unusual stone circle located halfway between the northern radius lines and southern radius lines. It appears in older arial photos too. Not sure what it is but is easily accessible.

I don't know where that is located so I can't see if i can get closer then that.
But it looks interesting. I don't have the Health to join ya but Keep me Updated

Also my Eyes are seeing this as a Mountain side that may be pretty arduous at points making it a strange place for a pool of water



what appear to be Shadows below
& Stone Leading into it also suggests to me Cave
