In May 2006, archeologists announced they had found a pre-colonial astronomical observatory possibly 500 to 2,000 years old near Calçoene, which is in the Amazon River basin near French Guiana. Archaeologist Mariana Petry Cabral of the Amapa Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (IEPA) said that the observatory is a circle built of 127 blocks of granite, each 3 meters (10 feet) high.
