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.

So who's the ass that gave the O.K to build a golf course over this brilliant, one of a kind monument?! This action is a sign of regression in our relation to the cosmos and nature... shame, shame!

[brittanybooXXlitalou]

Lol i live right down the street from this...

[Kelsie5]

@carmalishiss agree!

[thewizeard]

I always thought that Nazca was the largest in the world!

[usaamerica1]

this are bigger than the pyramids in egypt, this is part of lost american civilizations, it didnt take europeans to bring civilization to america, it was already here for thousands of years before the europens set foot in america. this has been lost in history, reead and learn about our true past, not the history thatt we are though in school.

@carmalishiss so was jesus.... i bet christians built this golf course...lol... ignorant bastards they are....lol...

amazing~may peace prevail on earth

@carmalishiss Yes it is a shame,everytime we see this.These are world treasures that are still being desecrated.Years ago some wanted to flood and put a golf course on the great serpent mound,we were able to stop this from everyone's unity to encourage this ignorence to stop. Currently land owners can destroy something and unless they are caught with human remains cannot be prosecuted. Much like nature, something destroyed before understood.

Protect sacred sites respectfully and learn. Thanks

The Golf course was actually built on other works approximately 5 miles away. These works on this video are a preserved park with nothing but a picnic grounds. At the mounds with the course was almost recently lost until the Ohio Historical Society became involved.. Of more interest to me is the Block Hebrew text found there, I have known of these mounds my entire adult life and never heard of this angle. Glenn Beck had a show this week on race and history, this was a small segment.

These mounds are the remnants of ancient fortified cities. The people that built them originally came from Jerusalem and brought with them their history in Hebrew, including the books of Moses. The Newark Holy Stones were found in a burial mound near this site and are inscribed with the 10 commandments in Hebrew. If you want to know more, you can read all about it in the Book of Mormon.

This is amazing. Shame on people to build a golf course on it!!

2000 years ago! ??

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Come visit Nazca Lines of Peru!
