Synopsis
In 1998 a demolished Miami, Florida, apartment block revealed a mysterious and ancient circle of holes cut into the bedrock, nearly 13 metres in diameter. From the finds of bones, shell tools and basalt axeheads, it was construed to be a relic from an American Indian tribe called the Tequestas, known to be brutal and barbarous hunter-gatherers.
