There are stone structures around the world which are similar to these stone and they have intresting information/ ancient myth.<br />The local people say that this stone possess spirit and they can communicate with each other but that's not true maybe the ancient people erect the stone to study the movement of the sun or other stars this could be a vast astronomical treasure house if we could really dig out reality. The interesting part about this stone structure is that it's very confusing to read the numbers of stone 'This could resemble /compared to the cluster of stars at night maybe the olden people used as a calender to count date,time, month,years century etc.<br />Where do they collect this huge pile of stone? How many labour hard work and tears and blood were shed? this really interest me . <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156429177784930116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372170432449840119.post-59668808834103785802017-05-14T12:00:31.799+05:302017-05-14T12:00:31.799+05:30Indeed this ancient wonder needs to be protected a...Indeed this ancient wonder needs to be protected and promoted responsibly.

The agents and drivers at the bus & taxi stand also were not aware of this place. Even our hotel's travel desk was not able to give us any information. The Manipur Tourism Department that had put up their stall in Sangai Festival could also not give us any leads. Our local cab driver too had no clue about this place. <br /><br />North East is definitely treasured part of India, it would be great if you could name a few other such hidden treasures and provide pics? Also, we were not really sure as to why these monoliths were erected. It would help if you could throw some light.
