When putting together an Ancient Stone Mysteries of New England - Feature Focus on the Champlain Thrust Fault on the Burlington, Vermont waterfront, I was reminded of some very curious stonework which sits up above that area. I think these stones were altered by humans in the distant past. However. This isn’t an acceptable mainstream concept. It will be deemed too far-fetched by some and too easily explained away by other means, such as erosion, for many others. So, instead of making this video presentation completely public, I’m sharing this only with members and paid subscribers, though there is about a 3-minute chunk you can watch for free.
These Lone Rock Point Ridge-Top stones are on top of a part of the thrust fault you can't see when you're looking at it from the mainland — it’s slightly around the bend. These stones seem to be at the highest point on the peninsula and at the end point of the ridges, on the tallest ridge on the peninsula. I’m including some LIDAR images below.
This strikes me as a deliberate arrangement constructed with natural elements in some cases already present. In this exclusive for Ancient Stone Mysteries of New England members and subscribers, we’ll take some long looks at what appears to me to be worked stones. Which is, of course, complete speculation on my part.
The footage and photos in this video presentation come from three visits, one in mid-March and one in late-May of 2021, and one on Memorial Day in 2022, giving us the chance to see the stones bare of foliage and plant growth in early Spring, and also covered but not yet overgrown in late Spring. The different conditions also give us the chance to see the stones in varying light, revealing different aspects.
