America's Stonehenge in Salem, New Hampshire is an ancient site where mysteriously precise structures are being discovered. Thousands of years before the magnetic compass was used, people built these chambers, walls, and standing stones to align with the cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West. Using celestial bodies like the Sun and the North Star, these ancient architects were able to construct a site on precise alignments with these directions as well as many astronomical events.
