Why? And when? \u003c\/strong\u003eThousands of years ago, people in what would become southern Ohio encountered a vista they recognized as special. They couldn't know that their view overlooked a 300-million-year-old crater, but as time passed, they made the plateau a resting place for generations of societies that eventually raised--with considerable planning and effort--the Great Serpent Mound, a place where history and mystery coincide. Uninhabited and overgrown when early Ohio settlers found it, the preserved effigy inspired pioneering archaeology and continues to prompt increasingly elaborate thinking. Scientists say that it measures the calendar, while theologians and mystics ponder its spiritual meaning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Alan John\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467159700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467159708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jeffrey Alan John","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087612625151,"sku":"9781467159708","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2f825d6-caae-4d98-95de-038dfbdaffec.jpg?v=1753850342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-serpent-mound-jeffrey-alan-john-9781467159708","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
