This seems as likely to be a prank as real. The great lakes were formed when the glaciers melted. Prior to that the area was under kilometers of ice. Nothing in the geological record seems to allow for humans walking about in that location at any time.

But we shall see...

I was reading an article this summer about another possible find under the Great Lakes. The article talks about things submerged in the Great Lakes. From the article [1]...

> John O'Shea, professor and curator of the Great Lakes Archaeology at the University of Michigan in his laboratory on Oct. 14, 2020. In 2009, he published a research paper on discoveries of evidence of an ancient culture around the time of the last Ice Age, 10,000 years ago, submerged off the shore of Lake Huron around Alpena, Mich. in an area that would have been dry land at that time.

I realize the article is a mix of things. Unverified possible things along with more scientific details.

The video discusses the lake level dropping for a period of several thousand years. So there maybe is something in the geological record that allows for humans to be walking about there?

Lake Agassiz in present day Manitoba was larger then all the great lakes combined, after the last glacial period. Most of it is now livable land. Water moves around, it would be very presumptuous to think you know what the shorelines and lakes were like in the last 12000 years.

You'd be amazed how good geologists are at exactly that thing.

10 000 years ago, people were living on dry land in the middle of the North Sea:

We only have solid data on that because there's oil and gas under the North Sea, so it has been surveyed rather thoroughly.

So how can modern global warming be attributed to pollution? I suppose not all, but it seems like a large % of the population acts as if this is something which has been happening over the past 200 years. This bitch been melting for thousands of years.

> The site in Grand Traverse Bay is best described as a long line of stones which is over a mile in length.

Hard to imagine someone dedicated to pulling off a prank like that.

Especially under water.

Hard to imagine a painting/carving of a elephant/mammoth can survive that long under water so near the ground.

I think those elephant lines were supper-imposed on the image to highlight the possible outline of an elephant sculpture. Not the actual picture on the rock.

I just hope they have a higher resolution of that rock without "supper-imposed" lines. I call it bullshit.

Just look how beautiful it is:

But no high-res pic of the real stone without "supper-imposed" lines.

Oh btw they found crystal pyramids:

Oh and that:

But what i see is a damaged cactus...not cool...thanks trump!

I would call it fake, if not for the website linked in top comment within this thread, that seems to be maintained by the founder of the stone site:
