Mystery Hill [In New Hampshire, USA]: Travels with D.L. Siluk

Mystery Hill

By Dennis L. Siluk


[5/2001] This is not an easy place to find by far. It is nestled in the deep woods of New Hampshire. I’ve been to Stonehenge in England, and to other archeological sites that have astronomical alignments, and this is one. They seem to be all around the world from Bolivia, to Peru, to New Hampshire [or parts of North America], Egypt, Zimbabwe, to mention a few. This site here is an intriguing puzzle to most archaeologists, and astronomers alike.

At this site there is a Winter Solstice Stone; the winter sunset alignment passes across the southern most end of a wall within this site. There is a large curved wall, with what they call the “November 1st Stone,” there; aligned with the 1st sunset, from what I understand, very important to the ancient calendar. But enough for alignments, lets get off the astronomical trail, to the site itself.

They have three areas in the site with rock art. One of a bull, one of a fish, and one I couldn’t quite make out, but it looked like a double-headed ax symbol.

The area is fenced in, and the structures or chambers with fallen roof slabs are huge. One chamber is about nine feet long, and eight feet wide and about five and a half feet tall. I wish I could draw a picture of this site, or even describe its gigantic stones. It dates back—so they say—to, 2000 BC, I would guess it is much older than that, that is, if one was to compare the stones with other stone structures around the world. I’d say, how about 9,000 to 18,000 BC; or at least 3000 BC, to keep up with Stonehenge in England; actually it is aligned with Stonehenge as Stonehenge is aligned with the pyramids of Egypt. People make dates, and leave them sit forever like that is gospel, simply because they have it recorded already, too lazy to shift gears.

This site has a vast network of drains on it, quite impressive. The south facing chamber, or what they call the Watch House, looks like it came right out of the caveman days. This megalithic site is beyond belief, these granite slabs are somewhere around 6 to 8 tons apiece; one on top of the other. Archways made of them. Granite weights about 160-pounds per cubic foot, and some of these slaps are monstrous. There are many chambers, large walls, drains, and a wooden modern viewing platform to view it all by.

I liked the Sacrificial Table, it was a carved out piece of granite, a stone with grooves, weight about 4.5 tons. In l970, some charcoal found on the site dated to 173 BC, Radio-Carbon Date, so there was activity up to that point I would guess. Then perhaps a migration started.

There could be much said about this site, but I do believe it is equal to Colorado’s Mesa Verde, which I visited just last year, 2004, and will have to write about—soon.
