First, you don’t know the history of the Miamisburg Mound. Yeah, I grew up in Dayton and have more stories to tell you about that place that would make your blood curl, especially if you looked up into the sky at night. And that was pointed out to me by another person from Fairborn, which got its name from the combination of the two towns called Osborne and Fairfield. My dad was born in a house in Osborne but my grandparents moved to a house across the border 9 houses down in a town called Fairfield. So yes I know the area quite well. I could hear the calisthenics from the barracks of Wright Patt every morning visiting my grandparents on Central Ave by the train tracks.

As far as the Miamisburg Mound goes, it has much more to do with than “just a snake” shape, the alignment to the solstices etc. It was thought to be a burial mound but nothing was buried in it. You need to learn more about it than what is on some sign in front of the park because a lot of what was initially thought turned out to be wrong.

And who the heck said anything about Polynesians being in Ohio? I spoke of trade from Europe again reading comprehension. Reading comprehension or did you not pay attention when it was taught in school. Let me guess you went to Tipp City eh?

Again insulting me doesn’t help your case!

Well you mentioned Polynesians.

I have read Barry Fall’s books and am somewhat sympathetic to his viewpoint. I met him 30+ years ago at a couple of conferences. I had some interesting and POLITE discussions with him. I still think some of his American Ogam translations seem like wishful thinking. His claims for Phoenician, Hittite, well needed much much more proof.

I still think there’s more evidence for Solutrean migration then any other serious pre-Viking European contact. Though the case is weakening. The possible exception is Basque fishing off the coasts of Newfoundland.

You notice I wrote three paragraphs and didn’t launch one personal attack. I encourage you to try it in future response.
