I enjoy your videos and especially this one. In 1971, I was a member of an archaeological excavation team from Kent State University working in the Chillicothe, Ohio area. We spent about 6 weeks excavating a trench through one of the geometric features at the High Banks Earthworks. Our goal was to determine (if possible) how the features were constructed. After about a week we had a nice trench excavated through one of the walls of the feature we were working on and it became clear that the soil was carried up in baskets from the river bottoms below High Banks. It was determined that the soil was packed in small woven baskets, carried to the build site and then dumped upside down. We actually found hardened soil deposits within our trench that had a rounded top and still had impressions from the woven material used in basket making. The prehistory of Ohio and associated archaeological sites rivals anything in the western hemisphere!
Thank you for pronouncing Chillicothe properly.. I grew up in Ross and Scioto counties.. We were taught next to nothing about the mounds.. When we asked questions we were told that nobody knew anything about them, that there was nothing in most of them.. We were cheated out of that part of our heritage..
Native of Chillicothe and lived one half mile from the Junction Earthworks, can't tell you how many times I have driven by that field before it was discovered.....
I live a further South, below Cincinnati, and of course 99% of us here in Oh, know of the Serpent Mounds, that's in multiple places in Ohio, but this.... NEVER heard anything about it....odd huh?!
Thank you for this presentation. There was a fella in his twenties whom I worked with during the 80s. He was from Ohio and he told me back then that Ohio had mounds all over the place. Your videos verify what he told me.
Don't forget to add to the Ohio earthworks, the serpent earthworks in Peeples, Ohio and also the mound builder mounds in Newark, Ohio. Also in the Newark area is Flint Ridge Road that the Indians came from all over the country to mine flint. Some of the best flint arrowheads are found in this area.
Another brilliant video. Thanks for sharing. I live in Athens County and mounds and Hopewell/Adena sites are still being discovered here. Over the last 2 years a company clear cutting land close to The Plains ran into a mound that was previously unknown. The status of its current condition is unknown to me, unfortunately.
Iʻve visited a few of the earthworks around Chillicothe and attended a powwow there a few times, years ago. I was there with a friend of mine at one point, the early 2000s, walking around one of the mound groups; we left sage and tobacco at the various mounds as we walked around, following Native traditions. We got back in the car; she jumped back out, wanting to take a few quick photos with her disposable 35mm camera. When she got the photos back from the developer there was a HUGE orb centered on top of one of the mounds adjacent to the parking lot. It was purply colored with other colors inside (blues, pinks) and you could almost see a being inside, probably about 6 feet tall, the size of a person, and round, or spherical, I would guess. None of her other photos before or after this particular picture had orbs in them. I think this photo had a few other orbs in it as well. We were both astonished.
Wow... amazing... proof of.... something... happening with a camera... showing evidence of.... something.... ancient native American cameras... or something...

People don’t realize how densely populated that N. America was populated. I have traveled all over the USA to visit these different sites. Cahokia was huge and impressive. Poverty Point, la. Chaco canyon are a few. The trade net work was impressive. Things found in Ft Walton Florida (six point plate) was also found in Cahokia. The types of rock found in different sites came from many miles away and in different directions. A very good read is the series by the Greers. Thank you!
I'm from Chillicothe and I had no idea this existed here. I only know of Hopewell Mound the mound out in Banbridge. I'm 51 years old lived here all my life and never knew of this place.
Except for the error: Of special significance is one of the earthwork enclosures that is shaped like a four-leaf clover, called the Quatrefoil. This geometric shape has never been found in any other Hopewell earthworks. No one knew Quatrefoil existed until the 2006 magnetic survey revealed its presence. Squier & Davis had surveyed the shape erroneously as a circle back in the 1840s, and the error was perpetuated for over a hundred and fifty years.
That magnetrometry would be handy for the ruins you showed last video. Good video Chuck! I can see that the history of North America clearly needs a rewrite!
Well I guess it’s good some folks are working on some preservation there. It’s hard to believe there was so much of these mounds down that way. It must have been too cold up here for all that or not enough game to feed so many by the looks of things. Anyway it’s great to see you do so much and show all the rest of us what’s out there. Thanks to your contributors also can’t forget them!

I live in Norwood Ohio it's a city inside of Cincinnati Ohio. We have a street called Indian Mound where are water towers are. It's has a Indian burial mound next to them and it's the highest point in town. I know your list is long but sometime you should check it out. As far as I know they have never excavated the site. It's the last one around Cincinnati which had quite a few in the downtown area. They were dug up and moved to put streets in their place. One of them they found a tablet that they think could have been a tattoo stencil for the people who built these mounds. There was evidence of some coloring on the design side and on the backside had grooves that they think was used to sharpen bone to make the tattoos. General Mad Anthony Wayne was one of the first to write about the mounds. He thinks that they were here before native Americans were in the area because of the trees that was growing out of some of them were hundreds of years old. They usually just call them the mound builders or Adena tribe. It's an interesting subject to explore. I moved your channel so I don't know if you covered this in a previous video.
Seems like there is always a river close by to these circular earthworks. Same thing here in Michigan. Thanks for mentioning Lake copper, its the clue to the past always over looked and mis understood.
Minong Maniac The location of a navigatable river near by is critical. The rivers formed their highway system. The waterways were essential for all of this trade network that is found in most of these mounds.
There is a Big Mound, in the middle of a River right outside Columbus, it's behind another one that is a little park on the side of the the river, and the mound which is an island, is way bigger, and maybe untouched.... If you searched for all the official mounds to the West of Columbus by Rivers, one of them has a far larger undocumented one behind it, in the middle of the river...
I was a commercial AC tech for 14 years here in SLC (now I am on the sales side). If you have any issues with your AC again hit me up. I had to fix my own home unit this week, in fact.

I go there a lot ;too. I also go to the cave complex along Scioto Brush Creek; along Bacon Flat Rd, about two miles south of Locust Grove; on Rte 73. It's my suspicion that the caves are an extension of the Serpent Mound village.

@@cfapps7865 books are great but for this subject the video style may be more critical. A compilation of these videos would be easier as well far less expensive to produce than a book. Video books and Audio books are the wave of the present and the future. The youth are in desperate need of the information that we find in these videos. It is much easier to get them to watch a video than it is to get them to read a book. But my library would testify to my love of books. I guess this is a pleading for a compilation of your FANTASTIC work in what ever format you would choose. In teaching American Archeology and Ancient History, your massive work would be THE primary source. You are doing an essential service!!! And it is definitely appreciated.

I found the long lost legendary turtle Rock. I need a place where I can send photos. You can see the eyes that knows the mouth the nose holes the claws the markings on the shell. There is a smooth egg shape alder directly under the turtle's belly. Just outside of Chillicothe. His eye is looking directly towards two Indian mounds massive. There is large carvings of animals rock walls and fire pits the size of an apartment that was used for the signals from Portsmouth to Mount Logan and it's vicinity. Completely unknown site. My family has been on this land since the revolutionary war. I would love an opportunity to share pictures with you and maybe let you come in and get some video in hopes that it can be protected
You can message me on Facebook messenger if you like then I can share the photos. (Eric Cash of jackson ohio) the location is 9 minutes from Chillicothe. Down along the side of the river. From its location you can see mound City and the entire Chillicothe River valley. The ridge across where the fire pits are you can see from Portsmouth all the way up to Chillicothe.
One more thing before I forget. The place looks like it should be a national park.I worked in a civilian conservation corps managing locations that couldn't hold a candle to this place. And just like at serpent mound with the lightning strikes the same thing happens here at the turtle the trees are all gnarled up from lightning. I really hope to be able to share this with you so that you can share it with the rest of the world
I live in ohio northern. Walking through the woods one time we came across this big circle of stacked rocks. Looked ancient but the it was almost like steps going down. Much like the shape how you described. Circular with an opening to one side. Think this could be related?
I have covered those. I think the S. African ones are MUCH older and were built with a much different purpose. I have had contact with Michael Tellinger.
Chuck, you have done almost as much research as Gary Jennings did before he wrote 'AZTEC' and the two follow up novels. You have more than enough fodder to use as the basis of another best seller like 'AZTEC'. It would be really cool if you could pick a number of sites that have the same general dating and feature those circle joined diamonds(rounded squares with multiple openings). The stories could almost write themselves. I'm already envisioning a character like 'Mixtli' from AZTEC!
Intriguing as always. Chuckles, have you ever done a video on the gigantic canals of America (and eastern Mexico)? Near Louisiana, at one point they even go across land that raised up into an island (probably circa 13k years back). They're like 300 meters wide and parallel canals in some spots...what were our ancients moving around on boats? Modern man never made canals that large.
Is it possible to access the map (Google Earth, I am guessing) that you use? I am from Ohio and am aware of some of the sites you have featured but so many more that I have never heard, one of which I have passed by thousands of time and never knew it was there. Amazing series, thank you for the great history.
If I recall correctly, According to the research of Jonathan Grey, Author of the book Dead Men's Secrets, The pre-flood civilization and possibly after had the capability of flight which was dependant on the sun, and the power would go down during a solar eclipse. So you wouldn't want to be midair during an eclipse was an example used. It was a worldwide power grid. I recommend his book and lectures if any have not seen and read his work. Thanks for another great video!
@@Chief2Moon Read the book and decide for yourself. Don't try to ridicule others before you have all the information as it tends to make people look foolish. Do you think you are being told the truth about history in the mainstream? Do you know what channel are you on? Peace.
We have several supposed Indian burial mounds around Louisville,Ky and are all fenced in, one behind an elementary school and another one right smack in the middle of UPS main hub at the airport. U of L archaeology has investigated these and had them fenced in decades ago, but recently they found a main hunting camp next to I65 and 1065 and fenced it in for about 5 years, now it has been leveled for a big construction some sort, UofL found many ancient artifacts but never announced anything to the public, i guess to not slow down construction.
In most cases they are named after the landowner at the time of discovery. So I'm thinking it was named after an 1800's landowner there. I just assumed that was the case here.
I am pretty sure Copper was a possible find in Mounds near the Great Lakes... But they found a Jade Hand in there, I use to live by it... Ross County is where Chillicothe is, sickos live there, serial killer the locals call the Sheriffs...
I really enjoy these videos, it's amazing how much native American history there is in ohio. I live in Michigan and I kind of wonder why there are not a lot of these mounds in this state?
The features look much like the prehistoric henges in the British Isles. Was there a connection across the oceans? Like the pyramids and mounds it seems like more than mere coincidence.
@@cfapps7865 the henges of the UK and the wood post henge of Cahokia would be a good place to start. Chuck, I am interested in your back story, as to what drew your attention to this study.
Why did they need so many hinges? I mean if my neighbor Bill built one that was accurate why would I bother to make one? Couldn’t I just pull a shot off of an existing hinge to a particular celestial body that I was interested in?
It would have been INCREDIBLE to "tour" North America just before the 1540 DeSoto Expedition. So many "Indian" nations were wasted overnight without warfare by the sudden introduction of Small Pox, and whatever else. All these towns, and in some cases, cities, left to decay into ruin and in many cases destroyed by the "white man" building his farms and towns and cities on the same favorable sites that the "Indians" had used. I recently discovered your channel and enjoy it much...another tidbit is the mention, made by some early sailors that sailed along the East coast, of the continuous lights from "campfires" along the shore, yet in the early 16th century, it was not like that at all. It's staggering to think of the people, culture, and history that was lost.
Fascinating! I live in Wisconsin's driftless area, which is home to amazing effigy mounds, many yet to be discovered. Some great li-dar imaging can be seen here on YT in "Mysteries of the Driftless", including why we escaped the glaciers, there by preserving this unique topography, plant and animal life.
Often wondered about the straight level table of plateaus. Is it 'Squashing' while hot, maybe a Planet or Titan sat down for a rest, or slicing like the 'sword' of a Neutron Star Magnetar?
www.iccra.org/bystate/Ohio/ICCRA%20-%20Ohio%20-%20Chillicothe,%20Ross%20County%20%28Mid%20Sept%202012%29.html. Here’s a link to a crop circle that showed up in this area. I live about 15 min away from this area.
I’ve been googling like crazy to find out what indigenous people inhabited the part of north east Ohio I live in, and I’m shocked at the lack of information available online. Does anyone know where I can find this information? Maybe some website out there that for whatever reason, isn’t ranked high enough to show up in a google search? Or a good book that would contain this information? Or should I try our local historical society? Seems like a lot of this type of information was lost to time, just like these earthworks.
Has anybody introduced you to the book of mormon. This book is a history of the family that lived the holy land about 600 years BC. They found the way of down to bottom of Arabian peninsula. Where they constructed a sailing vessel. After completion they launched the vessel. At that time of the year natural currents steered them down around the cape of good hope and up the west coast of Africa. Across the Atlantic oceans and landed in the Gulf of Mexico at the panhandle of Florida. The Hopewell mounds in an area date to that time period. After a while due to the contention the families broke into two different communities. One group was highly religious, the other group not so and was a very contentious. So over a period of the 1000 years there was some peace but a lot of wars. During this time, populations rose to tens of thousands. I would daresay millions. They completely filled the heartland. After all the wars, they finally annihilated each other at a hill near Palmyra New York. Part of one group survived. I hate to call them that northeastern Indians because they are of the Hebrew decent. They carry the DNA from the holy land.
I’m in NE Ohio too. My brother and I used to play in an old strip pit. (Gravel pit) We found fossils of sea shells and all sorts of crustaceans etc. And every once in awhile, arrow heads. I just watched a video on here about what tribes lived here.
jim perry Help me out with some links and some coordinates, Jim! 🙏I’m going through withdrawals! I need to find a place close to home to look for rocks and fossils! I live just east of Youngstown, near the PA border.
I cant believe you actually believe they used deerskin to carry dirt. These people were obviously advanced further than hunter gatherers.They can mine what did they use twigs.
Cool video series for sure. Do you have any for Gallia or lawrence county? I’ve heard of old mounds but can’t find much material to research on for them.
The idea that these were simply stone age nomadic hunter gatherers is fucking stupid. The mound builders were a legitimate empire. Watch my video of a visit to a local mound here in Central Kentucky. The top of the mound I made the video of is as big as a football field. The strange, unique, and incredibly abundant artifacts in Kentucky and Ohio that often are disputed tell the tale of millions of people for thousands of years
A good video I like Chillicothe Earthworks if you'd like to talk sometime comment back to me I have found some things and been in trouble for finding some things but if you want to talk I can probably tell you a lot of sites I don't want my knowledge to die with me

@@cfapps7865 books are great but for this subject the video style may be more critical. A compilation of these videos would be easier as well far less expensive to produce than a book.
Video books and Audio books are the wave of the present and the future.
The youth are in desperate need of the information that we find in these videos. It is much easier to get them to watch a video than it is to get them to read a book.
But my library would testify to my love of books.
I guess this is a pleading for a compilation of your FANTASTIC work in what ever format you would choose.
In teaching American Archeology and Ancient History, your massive work would be THE primary source.
You are doing an essential service!!!
And it is definitely appreciated.
There are many illustrated books on the Moundbuilders.
I live in Upper Michigan. I dont know of any ancient ruins but I wonder what the Huron Mountain Club is hiding.
Check out Zenobia road from clarksfield to Norwalk area in ohio.seen things in the sky also Butler Rd from new London to Birmingham ohio.old Indian reservation green road-gore orphanage Rd and have met some early 80s
I found the long lost legendary turtle Rock. I need a place where I can send photos. You can see the eyes that knows the mouth the nose holes the claws the markings on the shell. There is a smooth egg shape alder directly under the turtle's belly. Just outside of Chillicothe. His eye is looking directly towards two Indian mounds massive. There is large carvings of animals rock walls and fire pits the size of an apartment that was used for the signals from Portsmouth to Mount Logan and it's vicinity. Completely unknown site. My family has been on this land since the revolutionary war. I would love an opportunity to share pictures with you and maybe let you come in and get some video in hopes that it can be protected
You can message me on Facebook messenger if you like then I can share the photos. (Eric Cash of jackson ohio) the location is 9 minutes from Chillicothe. Down along the side of the river. From its location you can see mound City and the entire Chillicothe River valley. The ridge across where the fire pits are you can see from Portsmouth all the way up to Chillicothe.
One more thing before I forget. The place looks like it should be a national park.I worked in a civilian conservation corps managing locations that couldn't hold a candle to this place. And just like at serpent mound with the lightning strikes the same thing happens here at the turtle the trees are all gnarled up from lightning. I really hope to be able to share this with you so that you can share it with the rest of the world
@@ericcash5355 your family still owns the land it did from the revolutionary war?
Where did the Hopewell Road come into Chillicothe in relation to these works?
👍😎 good Job
I live in ohio northern. Walking through the woods one time we came across this big circle of stacked rocks. Looked ancient but the it was almost like steps going down. Much like the shape how you described. Circular with an opening to one side. Think this could be related?
Located in firelands
what do you mean ohio northern? There is only a college by that name
I am wondering if the circular earthworks in the Americas are connected with the circular stone works of South Africa
I have covered those. I think the S. African ones are MUCH older and were built with a much different purpose. I have had contact with Michael Tellinger.
Chuck, you have done almost as much research as Gary Jennings did before he wrote 'AZTEC' and the two follow up novels. You have more than enough fodder to use as the basis of another best seller like 'AZTEC'. It would be really cool if you could pick a number of sites that have the same general dating and feature those circle joined diamonds(rounded squares with multiple openings). The stories could almost write themselves. I'm already envisioning a character like 'Mixtli' from AZTEC!
A other great video!
High today 68f brrrrrrrr
Hope your apt cools off now
It was getting cooler very slowly before I left. Only 101 down on the Vegas Strip. Nice night for a stroll.
@@cfapps7865 have fun!
couldn't be the triple six like, but I'll be back. lol TY
Intriguing as always.
Chuckles, have you ever done a video on the gigantic canals of America (and eastern Mexico)? Near Louisiana, at one point they even go across land that raised up into an island (probably circa 13k years back). They're like 300 meters wide and parallel canals in some spots...what were our ancients moving around on boats? Modern man never made canals that large.
Not your typical garden variety squircle.
I don’t remember ever saying that before.
Is it possible to access the map (Google Earth, I am guessing) that you use? I am from Ohio and am aware of some of the sites you have featured but so many more that I have never heard, one of which I have passed by thousands of time and never knew it was there. Amazing series, thank you for the great history.
If I recall correctly, According to the research of Jonathan Grey, Author of the book Dead Men's Secrets, The pre-flood civilization and possibly after had the capability of flight which was dependant on the sun, and the power would go down during a solar eclipse.
So you wouldn't want to be midair during an eclipse was an example used. It was a worldwide power grid.
I recommend his book and lectures if any have not seen and read his work.
Thanks for another great video!
Mr. Smith's Orginals Did they have first class then, or just economy seating?
@@Chief2Moon You'll have to read the book to find out. Have you ever read a book? :D
Mr. Smith's Orginals You actually think manned flight took place before the hot air balloons?
@@Chief2Moon Read the book and decide for yourself. Don't try to ridicule others before you have all the information as it tends to make people look foolish.
Do you think you are being told the truth about history in the mainstream? Do you know what channel are you on?
Peace.
The ability to predict a solar eclipse was crucial!
We have several supposed Indian burial mounds around Louisville,Ky and are all fenced in, one behind an elementary school and another one right smack in the middle of UPS main hub at the airport. U of L archaeology has investigated these and had them fenced in decades ago, but recently they found a main hunting camp next to I65 and 1065 and fenced it in for about 5 years, now it has been leveled for a big construction some sort, UofL found many ancient artifacts but never announced anything to the public, i guess to not slow down construction.

There is also a Chillicothe Missouri
Two small Villages were named Chillicothe. .is the Olde days. .
This might be a dumb question but Steel is just the name, right? No actual metal was found?
In most cases they are named after the landowner at the time of discovery. So I'm thinking it was named after an 1800's landowner there. I just assumed that was the case here.
I am pretty sure Copper was a possible find in Mounds near the Great Lakes... But they found a Jade Hand in there, I use to live by it... Ross County is where Chillicothe is, sickos live there, serial killer the locals call the Sheriffs...
Actually I must be the same type of dumb mate, I was thinking along the same lines
@@randyross5630 I live in Chillicothe. Some of the most corrupt police and sheriff departments I have ever been around.
@@nickrulzyou what's that have to do with anything related to the Hopewell Indians?
Hey any that you know of in the Yellow Springs Ohio area?
I really enjoy these videos, it's amazing how much native American history there is in ohio. I live in Michigan and I kind of wonder why there are not a lot of these mounds in this state?
Would an AC unit be considered a squrcile?
It's 61°here right now.
40 degrees warmer out here on The LV Strip. I think it feels mild.
The features look much like the prehistoric henges in the British Isles. Was there a connection across the oceans? Like the pyramids and mounds it seems like more than mere coincidence.
Might be talking about henges in the UK real soon.
@@cfapps7865 the henges of the UK and the wood post henge of Cahokia would be a good place to start.
Chuck, I am interested in your back story, as to what drew your attention to this study.
Yes I was struck by the similarity, as well , to the ones we have in Derbyshire.
Max Moore are there similar found in Norway or Denmark?
@@glencrs I'm afraid I cant answer that Kay , I'd be surprised if not , I'll google .
Why did they need so many hinges? I mean if my neighbor Bill built one that was accurate why would I bother to make one? Couldn’t I just pull a shot off of an existing hinge to a particular celestial body that I was interested in?
Very cool. Thanks. I'm an Ohioan. Born in Connecticut. And not a Suckeye fan. But great video.
Have there been any giant skeletons found in the area?
It would have been INCREDIBLE to "tour" North America just before the 1540 DeSoto Expedition. So many "Indian" nations were wasted overnight without warfare by the sudden introduction of Small Pox, and whatever else. All these towns, and in some cases, cities, left to decay into ruin and in many cases destroyed by the "white man" building his farms and towns and cities on the same favorable sites that the "Indians" had used. I recently discovered your channel and enjoy it much...another tidbit is the mention, made by some early sailors that sailed along the East coast, of the continuous lights from "campfires" along the shore, yet in the early 16th century, it was not like that at all. It's staggering to think of the people, culture, and history that was lost.
Pretty sure the Hopewells were FAR earlier than the 1500s
These are ancient paintball arenas.
Fascinating! I live in Wisconsin's driftless area, which is home to amazing effigy mounds, many yet to be discovered. Some great li-dar imaging can be seen here on YT in "Mysteries of the Driftless", including why we escaped the glaciers, there by preserving this unique topography, plant and animal life.
Your vids rock
Is it possible that a cataclysm couldve sliced the top of those hilltops off burying lots of places and creating all those plateaus?
Often wondered about the straight level table of plateaus. Is it 'Squashing' while hot, maybe a Planet or Titan sat down for a rest, or slicing like the 'sword' of a Neutron Star Magnetar?
www.iccra.org/bystate/Ohio/ICCRA%20-%20Ohio%20-%20Chillicothe,%20Ross%20County%20%28Mid%20Sept%202012%29.html. Here’s a link to a crop circle that showed up in this area. I live about 15 min away from this area.
What is earth works
chilly coffee
I’ve been googling like crazy to find out what indigenous people inhabited the part of north east Ohio I live in, and I’m shocked at the lack of information available online. Does anyone know where I can find this information? Maybe some website out there that for whatever reason, isn’t ranked high enough to show up in a google search? Or a good book that would contain this information? Or should I try our local historical society? Seems like a lot of this type of information was lost to time, just like these earthworks.
Has anybody introduced you to the book of mormon. This book is a history of the family that lived the holy land about 600 years BC. They found the way of down to bottom of Arabian peninsula. Where they constructed a sailing vessel. After completion they launched the vessel. At that time of the year natural currents steered them down around the cape of good hope and up the west coast of Africa. Across the Atlantic oceans and landed in the Gulf of Mexico at the panhandle of Florida. The Hopewell mounds in an area date to that time period. After a while due to the contention the families broke into two different communities. One group was highly religious, the other group not so and was a very contentious. So over a period of the 1000 years there was some peace but a lot of wars. During this time, populations rose to tens of thousands. I would daresay millions. They completely filled the heartland. After all the wars, they finally annihilated each other at a hill near Palmyra New York. Part of one group survived. I hate to call them that northeastern Indians because they are of the Hebrew decent. They carry the DNA from the holy land.
I’m in NE Ohio too. My brother and I used to play in an old strip pit. (Gravel pit) We found fossils of sea shells and all sorts of crustaceans etc. And every once in awhile, arrow heads. I just watched a video on here about what tribes lived here.
jim perry Help me out with some links and some coordinates, Jim! 🙏I’m going through withdrawals! I need to find a place close to home to look for rocks and fossils! I live just east of Youngstown, near the PA border.
Tina H Ohio rocks, by cincyborn here on you tube is a good place. As far as where you are, I’m not sure. I’m in Stark Co.
I have heard rumors that a tall race , know to have red hair lived in that area. I assume this would have been before the Indians lived there
Fact
@@mitchjones8976 I thought so
I cant believe you actually believe they used deerskin to carry dirt. These people were obviously advanced further than hunter gatherers.They can mine what did they use twigs.
Cool video series for sure. Do you have any for Gallia or lawrence county? I’ve heard of old mounds but can’t find much material to research on for them.
Does anybody know the definition or meaning of Chillicothe??
It says here: your mom...
@@TheAdamfee 😂😂😂 okay I'm not sure if that's a joke or you're serious but okay😂😂
It is the principal city...chalahgawtha
Chillicothe was an Indian designation of the high chief's dwelling place.
This is, at least, the Shawnee tribe's meaning here in Oklahoma.
I grew up in Newark. These Earth Works were destroyed and then recreated.
You don't really hear about that and think you're looking at the real thing
The poor landowners. restrictions on future use and development of the sites probably destroys land value.
Too bad. History is more important. The Earthworks should have been preserved.
The idea that these were simply stone age nomadic hunter gatherers is fucking stupid. The mound builders were a legitimate empire. Watch my video of a visit to a local mound here in Central Kentucky. The top of the mound I made the video of is as big as a football field. The strange, unique, and incredibly abundant artifacts in Kentucky and Ohio that often are disputed tell the tale of millions of people for thousands of years
If you get your anatomy book out look at your anatomy most of these ancient cities of ruins will look like organs in our body
It was a crime to destroy these Earthworks.
I dont think it was a million 30lbs loads, had to be some kind of machine to make the work quicker
They look like geoglyphs.
Most of the serpent mounds in the are are not even that old they were recreated after the originals were destroyed
There is only one Serpent Mound in Ohio.
A good video I like Chillicothe Earthworks if you'd like to talk sometime comment back to me I have found some things and been in trouble for finding some things but if you want to talk I can probably tell you a lot of sites I don't want my knowledge to die with me
