Show Notes

JEFF WILSON, DENNIS STONE and HAYLEY RAMSEY join us to discuss the summer solstice at Ohio's SERPENT MOUND and AMERICA'S STONEHENGE.  We will be focusing on the archaeoastronomy of both sites and what the summer solstice meant to these ancient peoples.  Both sites will be open on this holiday for observations.  At both locations, there is snake imagery.  We will hear from the experts what role the snake played in these cultures.   America's Stonehenge is best known for the enigmatic stone chambers, but there are also serpentine walls.  There are also several snake effigies in the Ohio Valley.  We will be putting this info into its prehistoric context.
