Scotland and Ohio's Serpent Mounds Compared
* Both were constructed with a stone spine
* Oban was pointed to three peaks and the Serpent in Ohio faces the confluence of three creeks.
* A stone cairn was found within the head of both Serpents,
* Both heads were pointed west
Is there not something more than mere coincidence in the resemblances between the Loch Nell and the Ohio serpent, to say nothing of the topography of their respective situations? Each has the head pointing west, and each terminates with a circular enclosure, containing an altar, from which, looking along the most prominent portion of the serpent, the rising sun may be seen. If the serpent of Scotland is the symbol of an ancient faith, surely that of Ohio is the same.
