French Megalith

Today, February 11, 2011, our team of archeologists has discovered extraordinary stone structures on the John Carroll School property in Bel Air, Maryland, USA.  The stone structures seem to tell the story of this ancient world.  This is what we have gathered:
            This ancient civilization was based in what is now France.  These people had many religious customs that they practiced and were very into the belief of multiple gods.  In their polytheistic religion, these people worshipped many gods, including Ay, god of the sky, Ah, god of the forest, and Yeh, god of life.  Worshipping these gods was an essential element of this culture.  So, we have concluded that these stone structures were partially dedicated to these gods.  These people wanted to be safe, successful, and prosperous in their civilization, and offering things to their gods would heighten their chances of living good lives.  Another part of their culture was the significance of leaders and death.  Leaders of this civilization were highly regarded.  The people were expected to give these leaders a great amount of respect.  When the leaders died, they were buried in these stone structures.  Ceremonial rituals took place during the burying process, as it was an extremely dignified event.  Another tradition comprised the leader choosing a word of phrase to be carved on one of the bigger stones of his or her burying spot.  This structure, on the John Carroll campus, reads “Pierre de Diamant,” which translates to “Diamond Stone.”  It was common for these leaders to choose rare and valuable material for their burying sites.  Based on what we have discovered about this civilization, we have concluded that this ancient megalith was both a dedication to the gods of this ancient world, as well as a burying place for a revered, ancient ruler.
