Howard Barraclough Fell or Barry Fell was born June 6th of 1918 and died in April 1994. He had a PhD in marine biology from Harvard and is considered the father of pre-columbian contact ideas. He has also been deemed the greatest linguist of the twentieth century because of his research on inscriptions. However archaeologists refer to him as a self-promoting pseudo scientist who is blindly trusted in anthropological matters and threatened to undo more than a century of careful progress in archaeological research.

Mystery Hill and the Altar Stone
Mystery Hill is in North Salem, New Hampshire and it is otherwise known as America’s Stonehenge. It is called America's Stonehenge because of the rock creations that look as though they are in the same orientation as those at the real Stonehenge. There is a theory that they have something to do with the stars and the rising and setting of the sun, as if the stones are an astrological compass. Barry Fell gravitated towards Mystery Hill because it looked like European stone creations and, therefore, served as proof of colonization before Columbus. The sacrificial altar stone at Mystery Hill is a long stone slab that was supposedly used for religious sacrifices where the blood flowed into divots in the stone and was drained off the slab. [1] This was supposedly proof of the ancient rituals and therefore ancient cultures created Mystery Hill. However, this was a completely false theory, the stone altar was actually used for the creation of soap in the 19th century. All of these claims about the builders, the time period, and the use of the structures have been purely speculation, which have been disproven by actual archaeological research and findings.
Poulnabrone Dolmen
Poulnabrone Dolmen is one of Ireland’s oldest megalithic monuments. It is considered a portal tomb which are used to mark burial places in a very distinct way, there are more than 100 throughout Ireland. Portal Tombs are relatively simple single chambered graves that are made out of massive stones that most archaeologists speculate that the construction of such structures involved ramps, rollers and lots of leverage to heist the main top stone on top of the side stones. [2] However, Poulnabrone Dolmen was linked to the architecture at Mystery Hill because of the similar stone structure and building style. Therefore, Fell argued that it must be connected and constructed by ancient Europeans.
