What Happened Here? - Needle in the Hay #1, DemystifySci

We found some strange, and extensively networked, piles of rocks
in the Southern Oregon woods. We take you into the woods with us
as we try to figure out if there’s some natural explanation for
what we’ve found, or if we have stumbled on some man-made
structures that predate the presence of Western settlers. Along
the way we try to read how the landscape relates to the river
that runs through it, evaluate different strategies for
establishing the age of features we come across, and make the
case that the huge complex of rounded rocks that we’ve found deep
in the woods couldn’t possibly have been produced by the hand of
nature. The only thing that’s left is figuring out who could have
built these structures, how long ago they did so, and what they
could have been used for. MAKE HISTORY WITH US THIS
