Native American Mound and Earthworks Sites - Across Ohio
The Hopewell Native American culture, which lasted from about 200 BC to 500 AD, included a number of related peoples across what is now the eastern United States and southern Canada. They were connected by trade, politics, artwork and mound-building traditions. Evidence of Hopewell mound-building can be found in many areas, with an especially high concentration found in southern Ohio.
Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, near Chillicothe, Ohio, preserves one large ceremonial site. State parks and memorial sites preserve other surviving mounds and earthworks across the state.

Newark, Ohio Earthworks Site, Wright Earthworks Location
This site is one of four massive earthworks sites in the Newark area. Only three are left. This site has just a part of it which remains. The one which has been destroyed is probably where the descendants of the Nephilim (giants) were buried.
Commentary on the Newark Earthworks
The ancient North American Moundbuilders were a whole lot smarter than the Europeans of the 15th century!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Newark Earthworks in Newark and Heath, Ohio, consist of three sections of preserved earthworks: the Great Circle Earthworks, the Octagon Earthworks, and the Wright Earthworks. This complex, built by the Hopewell culture between 100 CE and 500 CE, contains the largest earthen enclosures in the world, and was about 3,000 acres in total extent. Less than 10 percent of the total site has been preserved since European-American settlement; this area contains a total of 206 acres (83 ha). It is operated as a state park by the Ohio History Connection. A designated National Historic Landmark, in 2006 the Newark Earthworks was also designated as the official prehistoric monument of the State of Ohio.This is part of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, one of 14 sites nominated in January 2008 by the U.S. Department of the Interior for potential submission by the US to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
