We’ve covered the Blackfoot Nation in an attempt to see if they were capable of constructing potential man-made megaliths in Montana (see my posts on the Sage Wall and so-called dolmens. This “medicine wheel” in Alberta, located in Vulcan County (of course), is attributed to Blackfoot creators.

The Blackfoot don’t have an ancient history that would relate this site to a time period before the common era. If this is legit, it’s likely from the Middle Ages or later. Otherwise, how would anyone be able to attribute the site to the Blackfoot Tribe? The following is from Atlas Obscura, and as you can see, the stones aren’t hewn.

There is an obvious arrangement, whether it’s a medicine wheel or an astronomical calendar. But are there other clues we can look at to decipher its origin or a possible diffusion between cultures? I gave tons of examples of ancient stone circles in The Holy Sailors (click the image) along with undeniable affinity between the Celtic, Roman, and Sanskrit languages. Did they make it to the Americas, or did Americans make it to Asia, Europe, or Africa? You’ll notice I chose a shirt with that Dharmic symbol for the cover to convey the ancient universal system that the readers learn in the Spirit Whirled series. You’ll see what else I suspect it symbolizes in the members’ section.
