Eighteen Iraqis were killed while a Marine and three soldiers died west of Baghdad in Anbar province. A Sunni cleric endorses a reconciliation plan, calling for prisoner releases and militia disbandment, while warning militias may provoke chaos.

Possible Brazilian Stonehenge Hints at Ancient Observatory
In Amapa state Brazil a ring of 127 granite blocks up to nine feet tall on a grassy hill near Caloene may be remnants of a centuries old astronomical observatory. The blocks align with the winter solstice with shadows vanishing on December 21 suggesting a sophisticated, organized pre Columbian culture in the Amazon. Archaeologist Mariana Perry Cabral notes the find could reveal a larger population and complex social structure.
