THE THREE FINGERS STONES
Added 2022-01-25 20:28:38 +0000 UTCInitially ascribed to the Wyandot peoples (the Huron), the ancient stones which sit on a sheer cliff on the Niagara escarpment in Wisconsin outside of the small town of Witona, are, as best described from the point of view of the Huron, “stones made by outsiders.”
Locals call them “the three fingers” or “the devil's tines”, and they are all but an after-thought, or merely used as a conveniently visible landmark to navigate by. Few, if any, have undertaken the difficult vertical climb to examine them up close.
These three stones, each more than 2.73 meters high, 1.2 meters wide, and 0.6 meters deep weigh many thousands of pounds, and were clearly dragged up a sheer 22 meter stone face with no clear path of ascent in antiquity to serve an unknown purpose.
