Tropical Stonehenge in the Amazon

It appears that the ancients in South America built a stone structure similar to the Stonehenge in England. This one is recently discovered in the jungles of the Amazon. I saw this in my local newspaper and online in "Did ancient Amazonians build a 'Stonehenge'?". The more archaeological discoveries that are made, it appears that ancient and lost civilizations had a lot in common on different continents.

This recent discovery is of yet another unknown civilization that existed in the Amazon. Carbon dating of the material will be done later this year. This will be interesting to see how old these structures are. There is speculation that they might be more than 2000 years old.
