Tenerife: Pyramids and now a Cosmic Clock
Thor Heyerdahl publicised the existence of small step pyramids in the Canary Islands, and now the same island has turned up a piece of stone 44 centimetres high and 34 wide that supposedly marks the equinoxes. Not bad for a little island with no apparent historical importance.

Interesting, too bad the article didn't make the connection to the Sun Dagger at the Chaco Canyon site at Four Corners. Here's a link to an interesting animation showing how it marks the equinoxes. http://www.exploratorium.edu/chaco/HTML/sundagger.html
Hope they paid close attention to the position of that thing!
