HEY, peeps!!! The QUESTION WAS:
>WHAT ARTIFACT SUGGESTS THAT NATIVE AMERICANS MAY HAVE ALSO DOCUMENTED THE CRAB NEBULA SUPERNOVA? Executive Summary
This report gives information about Smithville?s Woodhenge. This Woodhenge is an ancient astronomical calendar. The structure of Woodhenge is square with no corners or roof. It is made up of posts sticking up from the ground. The Steed-Kisker People that inhabited areas in and around the Kansas City area probably built Woodhenge somewhere around 800 A.D. It was discovered as a result of excavations being made when Smithville Lake was being constructed. Of the variety of artifacts that were found at the site only two are the most interesting. They are a carved stone smoking pipe and a large polished pebble with lines inscribed on it. After the lake was completely full of water and opened to the public an exact replica of Woodhenge was constructed near the original site. When studied it was found that the west and east sides line up to within two to two and one half degrees of true north where the North Star is. Astronomical events can be observed such as the two yearly solstices. Preservation of archaeological sites such as this is very important in order to understand everyone?s cultural heritages.
