Does LIDAR work underwater?
FWIU in Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan, there's a 9,000 year old stonehenge-like structure 40 feet underwater; that's 4000 thousand years older than Stonehenge and about 6000 years older than the Osireoin and the Pyramids.

There's not even a name or a wikipedia page for the site? There are various presumed Clovis sites which are now underwater in TN, as well.
A lot of the pictures used in articles for this are pictures of something else (possible an old ship). Here's what it actually looks like: https://holleyarchaeology.com/index.php/the-truth-about-the-...
Calling it Stonehenge-like is a real stretch.
That's a better source than what I found;
> The site in Grand Traverse Bay is best described as a long line of stones which is over a mile in length.
> [...] may be a prehistoric drive line for herding caribou
Also speculation that the Sage Wall in Montana is simply a geologic formation.
Bathymetric lidar exists, but it's a lot more common for there to be enough particulates in water to mess it up than for air.
