I just discovered today that there is a megalithic stone circle at Mzora in Morocco unlike anything else in the region but eerily similar to those that dot western Europe. It has been much damaged by quarrying of stone, but it looks like there is still enough there to be worth a visit. Sites that seem far out of place are a phenomenon archaeologists rarely know what to make of. Around the Chesapeake Bay are half a dozen burial sites that contain ritual artifacts identical to those used by the Adena mound builders of the Ohio Valley; were these left by conquerors? Converts to a foreign religion? Chiefs who became clients of a distant empire? We don't know, any more than we know why somebody in neolithic Morocco built a temple in the style of Atlantic Europe.
I can't find anything scholarly about it, but there is lots of information on the
web sites of stone circle spiritualists.
