I based the image off a photo in a book (published in the 80s I think). People must have stacked some other rocks onto the monument since that photo was taken.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 08:30, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if that explanation, which was the first thing I thought of, has a reliable source available. Sorry I don't have time to find one myself and can only make this suggestion. Geekdiva (talk) 04:56, 15 May 2016 (UTC) Geekdiva (talk) 04:56, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
re opening "who" query on "some scholars".
According to the CBC documentary I saw on Professor Lee's work in Ungava, the contemporaries of the Norse in the area were the Dorset, NOT the Inuit, who weren't in the region yet. So who are these 'scholars" who claims it's an Inukshuk? Because it's been commented by Prof. Lee and others that it's nothing like any of the usual designs of an Inukshuk. And as per also the other cairns around the area, one with a 500 lb boulder on the the top of its well-stacked dry masonry, the Dorset were small people and not physically capable of creating them.
So "some scholars" sounds too much like the endless videos where "some scholars" field all kinds of ideas, like the Sumerian gods having been aliens or that giants built Cahokia et al. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.69.14 (talk) 04:18, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
