Medicine Wheels go back a lot farther than 5,000 years I suspect.
It’s just the earliest ones where not as durable as where those erected later.
Went to see a Medicine Wheel in Wyoming.
Asked the guy there how long it had been there.
He said “A few years”.
I thought I remembered reading that they’ve found where posts were in an outer circle around Stonehenge that were carbon dated to 10,000 years ago.
I’ve been to both Stonehenge and the quarries in Wales that the inner stones come from.
Come to think of it, I’ve also been by the quarries that the limestone pieces come from too.
Did a day tour from Bath to Stonehenge, Avesbury circle, Laycroft and some other little village said to be the most beautiful in that area. Later, on a tour to Wales, went to the quarries there.
