Parque Arqueológico do Solstício, Archaeological park in Calçoene, Brazil.
The site contains 127 granite blocks arranged in a circular formation spanning 30 meters in diameter on a hilltop near the Rego Grande River.
Archaeological excavations revealed pottery fragments and burial urns from indigenous societies that inhabited this region between 1000 and 2000 years ago.
The megalithic stone arrangement demonstrates advanced astronomical knowledge through precise alignment with the winter solstice on December 21.
The archaeological park stands 384 kilometers from Macapá and 7 kilometers from Calçoene, with future plans for visitor facilities and a museum.
One specific granite block contains a circular opening that channels sunlight onto another stone during the winter solstice.
