The site consists of 127 blocks, some as high as 9 feet (2.75 meters) tall. The stones placed at “regular intervals around the hill, like a crown 100 feet (30 meters) in diameter.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scientists believe the site near the village of Calcoene, just north of the equator in Amapa state in far northern Brazil, could have been built by the ancestors of the Palikur Indians, and could be as old as 2,000 years.
