Blessing the Earth at The Great Circle Earthworks in Newark Ohio

They are here to assist in bringing unity, hope and love to the people of this planet.Especially to the people of this country. The election turmoil is being balanced and healed.
Earth's Largest Newark Earthworks World's Astronomical Alignment Mysterious
This Hopewell pictograph, the Newark Earthworks, is the largest earthworks complex in the world. Although places such as the Nazca lines of Peru are better known, the earthworks in the Eastern United states were much more difficult to build because the tress and vegetation had to be removed and the earth flattened. The Hopewell Indians built these pictographs about 2000 years ago.
Like the Nazca lines these earthworks stretch across the land like a giant map or drawing left by ancient astronauts; however, because the area was reforested, they were difficult to initially find.
The Newark Earthworks is a National Historic Landmark. Chris Scarre of the McDonald Institute of Archaeological Research and editor of the Cambridge Archaeological Journal lists the site in Seventy Wonders of the Ancient World. It has also been called one of the 70 wonders of the ancient world, by an international team of scholars.
The Octagon Earthworks include an eight-sided structure enclosing about 20 ha. It is connected to a large circular enclosure by a short group of parallel walls. The research by Hively and Horn indicate that the Hopewell builders incorporated several lunar alignments into its architecture, track an18.6 years cycle. These alignments are not explained by statistical anomalies. (Hively, Ray and Robert Horn, 2006, A Statistical Study of Lunar Alignments a the Newark Earthworks, Mid-continent Journal of Archaeology, Vol. 31, No. 2, PP 281-322.) The Great Circle Earthworks is a circle enclosing about 8 ha and the Wright Earthworks preserves a small portion of the walls of a large, square earthwork.
In comparison, the Great Pyramid of Cheops would have fit in the Wright Earthworks, four structures the size of Rome's Coliseum would fit in the Octagon, and the Stonehenge would fit into one of the small circles adjacent to the Octagon. In addition to the geometric forms and probable use of a standard unit of measure, there are other mathematical consistencies in the spacing of the earthworks.
Being in the earthworks is awesome and produces spiritual feelings. The works are mysterious: no one knows why they were made or what they represent. The earthworks are being replaced by a golf course.
At the end of the video is the Alligator Mound, an effigy.

Lost Ancient Ohio Civilizations Giant Earthworks ! USA
The Mysterious Newark Earthworks are the largest set of geometric earthen enclosures in the world. Built by people of long ago, ancient Hopewell an architectural wonder of ancient America was part cathedral, part cemetery and part astronomical observatory. Mound Builders were inhabitants of North America who, during a 5,000-year period, constructed various styles of earthen mounds for religious and ceremonial, burial, and elite residential purposes. These included the Pre-Columbian cultures of the Archaic period; Woodland period (Adena and Hopewell cultures); and Mississippian period; dating from roughly 3500 BC (the construction of Watson Brake) to the 16th century CE, and living in regions of the Great Lakes, the Ohio River Valley, and the Mississippi River valley and its tributary waters.[Some of the extreme interpretations about why the mounds were built are supported by such unlikely sources as the History Channel, which ran a series, Ancient Aliens, that purports to prove extraterrestrial beings inhabited or visited Earth in ancient times. In 2011, the show featured Serpent Mound and offered evidence that allegedly shows that the site was a landing area for aliens, who frequently visited Serpent Mound to mine iridium, a rare element, to fuel their ships.

Native American Mound and Earthworks Sites - Across Ohio
The Hopewell Native American culture, which lasted from about 200 BC to 500 AD, included a number of related peoples across what is now the eastern United States and southern Canada. They were connected by trade, politics, artwork and mound-building traditions. Evidence of Hopewell mound-building can be found in many areas, with an especially high concentration found in southern Ohio.
Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, near Chillicothe, Ohio, preserves one large ceremonial site. State parks and memorial sites preserve other surviving mounds and earthworks across the state.

The Myth of the Mound Builders - LECTURE
The 19th century myth that continues to claim the heritage of pre-Columbian North Americans today.
The centuries following the renewed 1492 contact between the world's eastern and western hemispheres were devastating for the indigenous peoples of the Americas whose population was continually decimated by imported diseases for which they lacked immunity. By the early 19th century, so few indigenous people remained that European Americans doubted they could have ever built the massive number of earthworks that covered the North American landscape. Instead they created a myth that the mounds must have been built by a lost civilized race that was ultimately exterminated by the American Indians. The most successful telling of this myth is found in Joseph Smith's Book of Mormon. We will look at how the myth of the mound builders evolved and its continuing consequences.

I report on the lost Adena Spearhead Mound, destroyed about 80+ years ago. It was in Anderson Township, Ohio. A few large skeletons were found when a tunnel was dug into the mound about 90+ years ago.
