Ohio's East Fork or "Hanukkiah" Earthworks

The ancient “menorah-like” earthworks depicted above once lay along waters of the East Fork of the Little Miami River in Ohio, about 20 miles above its mouth near Milford, and about 25-30 miles east of Cincinnati. They have long since been plowed level, and their orientation and exact location are unknown.

The 420 meter-long Great Serpent Mound in Ohio is the world’s largest effigy monument.  Archaeological investigations have yielded conflicting results about its initial construction date, and various theories regarding its meaning have failed to gain traction.  But the theory that the planet Venus was originally a comet that approached the Earth and caused great devastation neatly matches key characteristics of the Great Serpent Mound.

The Octagon Earthworks: A Neolithic Lunar Observatory? The Octagon Earthworks were part of an ancient Native American geometric earthworks complex constructed by the so-called Hopewell culture sometime in the first centuries of the modern era (0-500AD). Most of those earthworks have been obliterated by development, but the Octagon Earthworks have been preserved on the site of Moundbuilders Country Club in Newark, Ohio.
