An Excellent Review of New England Ruins

For many years people ignored Viking Sagas claiming visits to North America. That was a mistake as would be ignoring the many finds reviewed in this short yet fasinating book. Ancient coins, a Celtic sword, Iberic inscriptions and the famous Dighton Rock, artifacts like the "Roman Head," a sculptured head found in Essex. Cahill's surveys the region's vast collection of stone chambers, temples and dolmens. He notes that Native American accounts verify the existence of some stone formations, but don't seem to claim to be their designers. Mystery Hill in North Salem New Hampshire which is a collection of stone structures that has fascinated people for centuries. Evidence that indicates that the site is pre-Columbus is compelling. Perhaps it's time for archaeologists to reexamine this site. It's bizarre for such a site to be ignored when it could decide once and for all the prehistory of North America.
