The Sicilian Stonehenge
Ancient stone circles are often associated with the British Isles, but the sun-soaked south of Europe has its share of Neolithic mysteries as well. While the megaliths of Argimusco, Sicily, were likely shaped naturally, not human-assembled like Stonehenge, it's thought that they served as earthbound constellations in an early culture's mythology. Due to its appearance from another angle, the megalith in our image is known as the eagle, while other stones in the set are said to resemble a pelican, an owl, a lion, a snake, a woman in prayer, and a monk. How's that for prehistoric pareidolia?
