I can't begin to tell you how much I love Serpent Mound but I'll try :) It holds so much history and wonderment, the great serpent effigy coils out on the landscape almost daring us to unlock it's secrets. My family love it here, so much so Me and my wife got married there. It's located in Peebles, Ohio. a small quite town but home to something very special. Here's some facts about Serpent Mound:
The Great Serpent Mound of southwest Ohio averages about 1330 feet in length and 3 feet in height. Representing an unwinding serpent, the mound is sheathed in mystery and controversy. The serpent is thought by most to be about to swallow an egg. However many theories abound suggesting various interpretations. For instance some think it may represent an eclipse.
The mysteries don’t stop there. The very ground where the mound rests is also of interest to archeology. Seemingly full of cave-like or hollow structures, it is thought that perhaps there may be more to this serpent resting underground.
Conical mounds found nearby contained burials and implements that are characteristic of the prehistoric Adena people (800 BC-AD 100). Due to very acidic soil and predominant rainfall, many cave like structures reside underground. It is presumed that the Adena people may have resided in the caves. If true, there could be a treasure trove of artifacts waiting to be discovered.
