Dighton Rock
A coastal rock outcrop with mysterious inscriptions variously attributed to Native Americans, Portuguese, Phoenicians, Norse, and moreDighton Rock State Park houses a tiny museum which encloses Dighton Rock, which has been moved from its original location at the waterline of the nearby Taunton River.
The extensive petroglyphs on the rock have not been explained conclusively. The most likely hypotheses attribute them to Native Americans or to the Portuguese explorer Miguel Cortereal.
Proponents of pre-Columbian exploration of the Americas by Vikings, Phoenicians, and so forth, have also claimed these inscriptions as evidence.
