Thanks, Brad! Thanks for sharing your understanding of Ohio''s Effigy mounds, and the physical evidence present. I appreciate the work you have done in many places. Larry
Excellent presentation, Brad. You and another archaeologist showed our WVU course around the area in 2011 (Darla was the instructor, Bonnie, the department chair was along, too - very small class; I was the older guy in the plastic walking cast taking lots of pictures). I've been studying the Newark complex ever since and gave a presentation to the WV Archeological Society on some alignments I'd found. Still study and should have a paper in the next year or so with the findings. I didn't connect the Native American spiral with the Serpent Mound or the Alligator Mound tail until now. The cosmology is also fascinating. Do you have a link to the illustration you used for the layers of the cosmos? Once again, great presentation.
Seems like we have trouble recognizing ancient art, all it really takes is a few weeks of studying the lithic art to realize and see the pictures of the ancient people that surround us. There was a style to this art, it’s almost like one of those stereo graphic photographs from the 90s. Some people can see it when shown, and some people can’t see it at all. For some it’s just hard to believe I think, but I’ve been pulling up 150 pound stone bird effigies as evidence, not to mention seven stones like the one on my avatar photograph here that have photorealistic portraits on them of ancient human beings
11:40 from the ancient site I have discovered, those stones were more than likely abstract or hard to see Effigies. I bet you they were all about the same size, like a large head. The carvings are invisible until we learn how to see the style of art. It’s been under our noses the whole time
Look at a Turtle "profile" from the front. The mound at the center of the great circle in eastern Ohio is a Turtle Effigy Mound. North America is called Turtle Island by many Indians. Indians ate Turtles. The Giant Turtle remnants I find, some killed by the Dryas Impact... "are GIANTS", some over 50 feet long. It lived . . . . The stone circles at Fort Ancient are the outlines of some memorable Thanksgiving Turtles, back i the day of the Giants. Also the City of Athens Ohio it turns out is older than Athens Greece.
It's easy for the amateur archaeologist to surface hunt in a particular farm field or along a creek,river,or lakeside & find artifacts whose manufacture spans a couple thousand years, indicating repeated visits by successive groups over that time. This is so with relatively nondescript small seasonal hunting& fishing campsites or tiny migratory "settlements". I find no surprise that something with the complexity of mounds or earthworks would be any less prone to a "special place" category & subject to the interest of future generations& other groups or cultures over time. PS-..no, giants didn't build them& not a LEGITIMATE Hebrew or Egyptian artifact found in the bunch.
The Ohio Serpent Mound might actually be a whale fossil or gift from/to the first Eskimos. It is really large but the skull seems proportionate and I noticed they have two smaller mounds to the side of the skull that could be a whale's fins. With the origin of who made it being a mystery maybe it was the Eskimos who made it and had to migrate south because it got too cold or they ran out of whales or they could not find food here so they were asking the whales or Eskimos that stayed north for food etc. It might be a map for the story of the Bering Strait passage to here personified by a whale (maybe a bit of annoyance built into the story about not walking in a straight line by having to weave around the mountains and how heavy whales are). So that top formation (also you are forgetting about two formations that jet off the skull that are fins) folks are talking about in another video could also be the blow hole personifying the map of the Arctic passage and how there is food once you get to the other side coast of the Arctic. I like how it really looks like it is a depiction of a skeleton on top a hill/cliff that would be the body. I really hope it might also be the entrance to a salt cave that leads to the Great Lakes or at least how they could build one by dissolving salt but I'm not getting my hopes up. This also means that the Alligator mound that is close could be a Pliosaur, ichthyosaur or some ancient marine animal.
The descendants of the Mississippians are literally still alive. You know those “cultures” that “disappeared”?. Short answer is colonization caused those people to be reclassified to “African Americans”. The Asian migration you are speaking of happened quite a bit after that... Funny how quickly we forget the original people of the Americas.
Gotta say the ancients were more observant than the moderns. Tail of alligator does not curl. It is probably an opossum with a pouch and a curled tail.
I have an ancient stone wall moved from a native Indian farm in Westport MA. The developers were going to bury it! As fate would have it I has having a stone retainment wall The head is a white quarts stone that has an eye and mouth .
How about the Gilbert mound, constructed of stone, snakes along Dicks Ridge in Walker Co., Ga. Its mounted on pretty sharp ridge crest. Pretty sure is of Woodland culture, 200 plus feet in length and uses some natural rock formation in construction.
How about the rattle snake gorgets found in middle Ga., carved on conch shells. The RS played a big roll in their culture. They were dealing with the eastern diamondback, the largest of the RS family, known to grow over 8 feet in length.
The Ohio Serpent Mound is a giant Glyph of an Eclipse of the Sun with the Planet Venus becoming visible during the Eclipse represented by the spiral tail.
In addition to a hellbender, imagine someone diving for muscles or in the water & seeing a panther fishing like this: ruclips.net/video/bn9SzYi1tb0/видео.html
if you stand in the coils of the serpent mound you might realize the mound is a weapon it in my opinion is a fort snakes were dangerous impowering the people when they stood in the coils you cant easily be flanked shoot your bows from within the coils
Tell me, What do you do when the Archeologist across our Ohio State are to afraid or to corrupt to Admit to a site ! Because of its State cover up & the site's size and Age ? Very Old , Very Large Covering Parts of 3 States , The standard B.S. archaeological line [a glacier did it] Not really sure how a Glacier actually makes Ceramics, Glass , stone work , Burials And a Documented Unresearched Mound Twice the Size of Monks Mound Cahokia ? I own a 1960's Intentionally Destroyed Covered over Burial ground in one valley and Part of the Ancient City on top of an End Moraine in another Valley ! To sum up how do we stop archaeological fraud ? Our gutless archaeologists are screwing upcoming archaeologist out of a job ! Need F.B. to view [apology]
Most definitely DEMONIC in nature! One has to wonder, what pushed the people to build a serpent? Was the flying serpent from South America inspirational?

Alligator man used to be called a possum mound in an old book that I saw once.
The biggest cover up in history, is the cover up of history. "Smithsonian Gate."

There was a stone pillar at the head or egg that was pushed over the cliff which is still there but broken in two.

I've heard a portal open up at serpent mound before

I know a lot about the snake mound and I have never been there
Is Mount.jeez near Malabar farm in Richland county considered man made?
I can't hear this very good ☹️

The alligators are the underwater panthers !

Panthers can swim. “In” the water alligator rather than underwater? 🤷🏼♀️

"serpent" mound looks more like a sperm cell if you remember biology class.
Have seen a snake regurgitate frog and frog hoop off.
yes it happens man i saw a crayfish do the same think he mite have gouged the snake mouth but he got away
