Qenko
Date Added: 2nd Feb 2013
Site Type: Ancient Temple
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes
Qenko submitted by Michelledubois on 11th Oct 2011. Near Cuzco is at a site called Qenqo, which is a monstrous rock all carved out with tunnels inside, and the whole upper surface is a maze of sculpted surfaces. The stone is andesite. The "thing" in this photo creates a perfect Puma head shadow 2 times a year. Nobody knows its true purpose.

Knock Stone Circle submitted by Andy B on 12th Mar 2011. A faux stone circle, located by Knock in the Bathgate Hills, 2 miles (3 km) northeast of Bathgate in West Lothian. Comprising 50 stones, arranged in two concentric circles in a field by the roadside, the circle was built as a 50th Birthday surprise for the farmer by his son in 1998 and was undoubtedly inspired by the nearby Neolithic site at Cairnpapple Hill.
