MOUNDSVILLE WV-TOUR OF THE MOUND
At 62 feet (19 m) high and 240 feet (73 m) in diameter, the Grave Creek Mound in the Ohio River Valley in West Virginia is one of the largest conical-type burial mounds in the United States. The builders of the site, members of the Adena culture, moved more than 60,000 tons of dirt to create it about 250–150 BC. The earthwork mound is located in present-day Moundsville near the banks of the Ohio River.
The first recorded excavation of the mound took place in 1838, and was conducted by local amateurs. The largest surviving mound among those built by the Adena, it has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
In 1978 the state opened the Delf Norona Museum at the site. It displays numerous artifacts and interprets the ancient Adena Culture. In 2010, under an agreement with the state, the US Army Corps of Engineers gave nearly 450,000 artifacts to the museum for archival. These were recovered in archeological excavations at the site of the Marmet Lock, and represent 10,000 years of indigenous habitation.
A Tour of the Nephilim Giant's Tombs in West Virginia
Nephilim skeletal remains were found in numerous burial mounds along the Ohio and Kanawha rivers. Some of these ancient tombs can still be seen and visited today. The Nephilim capital city was in present-day Charleston, West Virginia with Sun Temples that were 666 feet in circumference. 666 was the Nephilim numerology (Gematria) for the sun father. The Nephilim spirits still reside in the state of West Virginia, being the catalyst for much of the paranormal activity in the state. One of the most haunted places in the country being the Moundsville prison at Grave Creek that has a 70-foot burial mound in the front yard that contained the remains of a Nephilim man and wife who were both about 8 foot in height.
The Shawnee Indians called the Kanawha River the River of Evil Spirits This evil being from the many Nephilim giants that are found along its banks.

Exploring Charleston, West Virginia (State Capital) June 19-23, 2017
Here are some of the things I saw on a recent trip to the West Virginia State Capital (Charleston) and South Charleston, WV. In South Charleston you will see the 33' tall Native American Burial Mound in the center of South Charleston, trains, a tour of town and a brief time lapse or two. In Charleston I tour the Capital area, walk along the Kanawa river, encounter many friendly curious squirrels. Charleston has no shortage of squirrels. I check out some of the trees and buildings, read some of the history, and even see people dancing in the street, while a band is playing dancing in the street. Along the way I pass the Governor's Residence. There is also a little bit of a drive between South Charleston, and Charleston.
I have done my best to remove voices and images of others I may have been with. If you are in this video, or your voice is in this video and you would like it edited out, just comment with the approximate time (minute and second) where this occurs. (If you just don't like it or have nasty comments, please don't post them.)

The Cresap (Adena Culture) Indian Mound
In the Ohio Valley at one time there were thousands of these mounds along the Ohio River Drainage Systems. Now only a scarce few are left and most of these are in danger of removal due to progress. The Adena culture is recognized as probably the initial culture to bring moundbuilding into this area as a part of their earth renewal ceremonies and nature worship. Later the Hopewell Culture would adopt moundbuilding and added elaborate geometric style earthworks as their signature on the Ohio Valley. The Cresap Mound was completely leveled in 1958due to progress,but excavated beforehand by Pittsburgh archaeologist Don Dragoo who rescued some of the items from the mound. The video maker here has tried to show the lay of the land where it initially was which was on the Cresap property in the Washington Land's area of Virginia now West Virginia near present day Moundsville, WV. The Cresap mound was very close to where the WV historic sign describing the Washington Lands was,there was also a small rest shelter for tourists but it too was removed in 1960 when the road was changed. By the way the turtle tablet resued from Cresap was only partial with over half of it missing. An artist took the liberty of filling in the rest which is shown in the video.
