Indian Country -- History Got it Wrong: Scientists Now Say Serpent Mound as Old as Aristotle

[left that other site]

“gobble it up” sounds just SO scientific! :-)

What is new about Serpent Mound is that it might be far more ancient than currently thought. Some archaeologists have recently discovered evidence that it was constructed around 300 B.C. by the Adena culture. That contrasts with the prevailing school of thought that it is about 920 years old [1095 A.D.] and was built by the Fort Ancient culture...

1,400 years is a helluva big difference....

2300 years old would make it as old as Archimedes, not as old as Aristotle...but the 2300 figure is probably not precise. If Aristotle was alive he would be almost ready to celebrate his 2400th birthday.

Besides sitting and watching TV instead of out watching stars, modern man has created calenders to mark seasons.

Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

There’s something new about the very old Great Serpent Mound, the earthen snake effigy that stretches a quarter of a mile along the terrain in Adams County in southern Ohio...

When it said “Serpent Mound,” I thought the article was going to be about Capitol Hill.
