Canada's Stonehenge

Canada’s Stonehenge (Canada: Kingsley Publishing / Fitzhenry & Whiteside, ISBN 978-0-978-4526-1-2. London: Watkins Publishing, 2012, ISBN 9781780280950)[1] is a 2009 book by Gordon Freeman that claims an archaeological site west of Brooks, Alberta is really a vast, open-air sun temple with a precise 5,000-year-old calendar predating England's Stonehenge and Egypt's pyramids. Datable Sun rise and set observation lines for the Summer and Winter Solstices range from 5200 years ago up to 200–300 years ago. This is not only the oldest accurate calendar ever recorded, it is the by far the longest period of continuous use.

The Sun Temple

The Alberta Sun Temple found in southern Alberta Canada challenges the history of Canada. It is a huge open air, sun temple with a very precise calendar dating back 5,000 years making it older than England's Stonehenge and Egypt's Pyramids. Many archaeologists believe the old stone is just a medicine wheel left behind by early aboriginals. However Gordon Freeman challenges their assumption in his book by stating that it is actually a 26 square-kilometer stone calendar that marks the changing seasons better than our modern calendar. After 28 years of photographing the site, he was able to discover that the 28 rays that radiate from the central cairn correspond exactly to the length of a lunar cycle. This assures Freeman that the rocks are not just randomly distributed but were actually precisely placed there for a reason.
