Cahokia’s Woodhenge consisted of several timber-post circles built in stages and used to mark seasonal sunrise events, including the solstices. It stood roughly 850 metres west of Monks Mound on an equinox-sunrise axis, while a winter-solstice line ran toward the Fox Mound–Mound 59 axis.
The video argues that lunar declinations were built into the layout, that Mound 72 acted as a lunar marker, and that a beaker from Feature 309 bears European Beaker Culture symbolism, linking Cahokia to Stonehenge. The cited sources do not establish those broader links, the claimed 92-point, 27.1-degree calculation or Professor Al Fang’s independent confirmation. Cahokia’s five wood circles did not mirror Stonehenge’s stone-ring plan.
