Astoundingly, the age of these stones was estimated to be around 9,000 years, predating the construction of England’s Stonehenge by a staggering 4,000 years. To provide context, this was a period following the end of the Ice Age and the formation of Grand Traverse Bay, when the lake bed had yet to be submerged.
