How very interesting! I wonder how many sites like this have been destroyed by agriculture… I can’t wait to go and vist the Majorville site.(My husband’s grandparents lived at Majorville, the town, when it existed.)
I have found a large, 500lb, rock near the Willow Creek area, near Stavely, that I think could be some kind of marker stone. It was not in it’s original location when I found it, but am sure it was moved out of some local farmers field with a bunch of other large rocks. I have been trying to find out about this rock, but have had trouble finding someone who may be able to identify it. It is dome shaped sandstone(flat on the bottom)and carved with thick grooves down the sides all the way around. In the sunlight, especially early or late in the day it stands out like a sore thumb. Would you be interested in having a look at it? I can send you some photos.
Looking forward to reading your book!
Thanks!

Hi Daryl,
Thanks for your comment, and info about the rock you found.
When you read the book you might find that your grandparents-in-law might have farmed near the Majorville GeneralStore-PostOffice.
Will you please send me photos of the rock you found? We’re at my wife’s old family cottage in a small village near Ottawa until 13 Aug. Please send them as email attachments if you can. Otherwise please mail them to

We’ll be happy to come to see the rock toward the end of Aug.
I check email when we go shopping in a town nearby, about once per week. Today is also laundry day.

Gordon,
I am an astronomy teacher and amateur astronomy that for years have wondered if archaeoastronomers were taking into consideration the changing equinox date with the latitude. I am sooooooo impressed that you found this out through real practical application! haha!
I’m going to order your book right now!
Hi there. Apparently you were prof to my mom’s neighbour (Dr. Pam C.) She told me about your book…. and I told her about my friend’s find of an aboriginal dream bed near Seven Persons….
We share alot in common. I spent time in Ireland at the Beaghmore Circles this summer…. and I work for First Nations currently… Lots to tell…
Hello Shirley,
I should check this site more often.
My wife and I were near Seven Persons last Spring.
Please tell me your lots. If you are outside Edmonton, send an email.

Very interesting article.There are many many older than Stonehenge sites , especially in South America , but i didn’t know there’s in Canada also!
Hi Ivy, I haven’t seen a previous reference to the change of equinox date with latitude. Would you give me a reference?
Gordon
UMF, are you referring to accurate calendar sites in South America that are older than Stonehenge? Where?
