"Serpent Mound is located in Ohio, east of Cincinnati, off of highway 73. It is placed atop a ridge that over looks the Ohio Brush Creek. It is located in the Serpent Mound State Memorial and is accessible to the public." [1]
"Effigy mounds were built into shapes of animals like birds and bears. Examples of effigy mounds are located in Adams County, Ohio, Chillicothe, OH and Boyd County, Kentucky. They are all in the shape of a snake. The purpose of Effigy mounds was for religious and social reasons. Scientists think that some of these mounds are somehow connected to a constellation and the summer and winter solstices." [2]
