Ancient earthen structures in Ohio become a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Country club over top of sacred grounds? Sounds par for the course of colonizers

Unesco is EVIL

There are many other places that in the US that has not been recognized by the government and kept hidden from us.

What about Cahokia in Illinois? It was the biggest city in the world at one point and has the same earth mounds, sun dials, etc.

Ohio has always been the brunt of jokes, but maybe there’s more significance to Ohio than we will ever truly understand. Quite remarkable 👏🏻

How did they miss mentioning the Marietta Ohio mounds, Sacre Via. Capitolium, Quadranaou? These first settlers to enter the Northwest territories were educated people who recognized the importance. They had been chosen by wilderness experience, education, indigenous experience, military experience and shipping to be prime people to create settlements. They made the first cemetery in a ring around the tallest mound to make sure it was preserved from future development and put the library on top of the flat topped one. They turned the Sacre Via into a park. They weren't able to save all of it, but much of it was preserved. It is an amazing story of the first incursion into the Northwest territories and preservation of the earthworks. The later generations of these same people built parts of the Underground Railroad.

Bee something if 🌪 visits site!!??!!🥸

It would be interesting to see lidar images of these sites.

I know about the serpent mound in Ohio.Their are mounds in my home state of WV also.Up and down the Ohio River are sites

Mounds are all over Ohio. I'm glad they're getting recognized.

I'm from Madison WI. People who looked like me used to dig these mounds up, to destory and defile them, but also to steal artifacts. Glad to see 21st century Americans finally seeing the light.

The mound builders of America were melanated people. The truth is out.

That dude is whiter than me. If he has Indian in him I swear I have Zimbabwe in my blood.

Doesn’t add up. Indians didn’t even have the wheel

At least the golf course has preserved the mounds, other wise there would be a gas station there.

I have heard of the Hopewell Ohio civilization and I don't live in Ohio. That is how it usually works, people who live there have never heard about things in their back yard

Unesco... Now they can destroy it!!

I’ve been to the great circle many times, looking forward to finally seeing the octagon. They’ve been trying for years to get this done, way to go Nerk* and the rest of Ohio!

Ohio suck!.

The shear audacity of building a golf course on top of it 🤯

They forgot about Alligator mound in Granville at Bryn Du

Paganism is superior to Christianity.🌞❤

My Mom is Native, I remember when I went there on a field trip to the mounds, all the kids went to stand on the mound for a picture, my Mom forbid me from standing on it though because it was a sacred place.

Big assumption that Indians built these. Time period was before Indians arrived on this continent.

I believe a lost tribe of Israel built this per the book of Mormon

It’s weird to see this when you’ve lived right next to these your whole life

Knowing modern mainstream archeology, the dating is likely off by many, many thousands of years.

Notice the thumbnail, the natives painted white/light skin

Have they been investigated with ground penetrating radar?

What's stupid is these are covered in a monoculture of grass when they probably should be covered in native grasses,shrubs ,trees and wild flowers !

Wait until they hear about the Loveland Frog Men! 😂 In all seriousness though, this is awesome. OH-

To say the Parthenon is a 'pile of rocks'....you lost me.

Lies. Theres most likely giants buried under those mounds. Haplo group x2a did this as well.

I loved the white guy who thinks he’s a Native American

Very funny

I'm glad this site is not like Stonehenge. It would be overrun with tourists.

Ohio needed a dub fr. This is sick

Only in Ohio

I hope the mounds below Prospect Hill Cemetery in York PA that was sold off to shady developers gets saved. Wildlife stays there even though its surrounded by cityscapes. They know.

Having a golf course on sacred grounds is wild to me. The disrespect just boils my blood.

There is an ancient site along the Kokosing river, in Knox county, Ohio. Near an old mill site. It's amazing and "undiscovered". It's not the Hopewell, even older. It's ignored and slowly being lost to time. They also emptied the mound in the town of mount vernon, and then put white people in there that were rich. They exist all over Ohio, more than just mounds. There are walls made out of giant rocks, and places where structures once were. It's all ignored and forgotten, and slowly being destroyed by development.

A Native Americans closest medical clinic is in Michigan

People seem to forget or don't know indigenous Americans been in South , Central & North America for over 10,500 year before the arrival of Europeans in the year 1000C.E up in Canada area , the Chinese before 1500s some even say maybe further back , etc ...
So much history , knowledge , memories have been forgotten , destroyed or lost throughout human history all around the world .
Yet we always think we're the center of the universe in this will last forever.
Such delusion

Is the golf course still open for public games

Last year through information posted by The Southern Ohio Museum, I discovered that the street I grew up on was constructed on the bulldozed remains of one of these ancient earthworks. This 19 foot tall mound was recorded on surveys dating from 1878 and 1883, and a single ceramic bowl was excavated from it which remains in the possession of the museum. None of the mound remains. It is devastating that we failed to preserve (purposefully destroyed!!!!!!) these sites to build things like golf courses and Walmart Supercenters. It makes me sick.

Old Stone Fort State Park in Manchester, Tn, is like this. And they did put a golf course on it. The Feds need to step in and take it over. The state is doing a terrible job.

This is so exciting! There is an ancient record that gives a history of this people in the Book of Mormon, a sister testament with the Bible. It's really amazing!
My family and I read it often. It's free if anybody wants to learn about them.
Two continents, two peoples, two records. 2 Corinth. 13:1, John 10:16, Ezekiel 37:16-19 ❤

im very surprised it wasn't paved over for a mcdonalds or culvers for all the white people up in ohio by now.

and they lawnmow it? eugh.
