Burial Mound Within an Enclosure at the Nephilim Giants Capital City at Charleston, West Virginia

This map from the 12th Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology shows a small portion of the mounds and earthworks along the Kanawha River at the present location of Charleston. None of the earthworks were preserved, but one of the few mounds that is still visible was within the rectangular enclosure in the above map.

This mound originally had a large rectangular earthwork surrounding it that encompassed 20 acres but has long been obliterated.

 

Strange Ancient Picture Rocks Described in West Virginia

The location of this stone is in the heart of the Adena mound builders.  The Native Americans were terrified of this region because they thought it was infested by evil spirits. Is this a depiction of what they encountered?

History of Kanawha County, W.V. 1876

   SCULPTURED STONES. About two and a half miles below the mouth of Paint creek, and twenty miles above Charleston, at the edge of the river, was a large flat stone, perhaps twenty feet square, called by the old settlers the "picture rock." It was embedded in the river, near the shore, and was not visible except during low water. It was literally covered with pictures of different animals, including turkeys, bears, deer, elk, fish, etc. ; and across the center of it was a large buffalo track cut deep in the stone. On the perpendicular face of the stone was the image of a man from the waist upwards; a little above, and to one side of the man, was a large bear — natural size — with his mouth wide open, in close proximity to the man's head. Two miles above this large sculptured stone was a smaller one, in which were engraved seven or eight tracks of a baby's foot, which were intended to represent the child as walking across the stone. A short distance above the village of Clifton, in the bed of the river, was still another stone, on which was neatly carved a large fish. Some person undertook to carry this stone away for the purpose of making a hearth, and broke it in twain; one piece, however, still remains in the river. These stones resembled the one that laid in the bottom of the river near the mouth of Campbell's creek, which will be described in another chapter. They were undoubtedly engraved by the same race of men, that unquestionably understood the art of sculpturing to a very considerable extent. The ruthless hand of the destroyer has relentlessly fallen upon all of these historic stones, and they have been quarried and removed for building purposes. It seems strange that men of intelligence would destroy such interesting relics of an ancient habitancy and civilization of the land in which they live

Beaker People (Amorite) Tombs Along the Kanawha River in West Virginia

   According to the “U.K. History Files,” “It was this Beaker culture that was disrupted in the twelfth century BC, possibly by the arrival of the first wave Celtic settlers in Prydein during a period of intense disruption that took place as far afield as the Middle East, where the collapse of the Hittite empire was a major act in a century of turmoil. Although many would have stayed put and accepted their new Celtic overlords, some would have migrated westwards to avoid them, or were already in the west. Here they remained safe from Celtic domination for much longer, and when that domination finally came, it may only have been through a warrior elite.”

    There are a several of megalithic Stone Circles that have been described in W. V. and Ohio. Stone circles are found along with stone mounds with doorway lintels (stone doorways) and earthen mounds with stone chambers.  

NBA? Five Accounts of Large Skeletons Reported by the Smithsonian Within the Mounds at Charleston, West Virginia

 

Large Skeletons Reported by the Smithsonian Within the Mounds at Charleston, West Virginia

One of the Adena burial mounds located in Charleston, West Virginia  More giant skeletons discovered by a University Geological team in West Virginia www.nephilimgiants.net : Giant Nephilim Skeleton Buried with Copper and Bronze Coins in a West Virginia Burial Mound. Discovered by University of Pennsylvania Geologists

For those who scoff at giants; here are accounts from one city of five large or "very large skeletons" being found within about a 5-mile radius. All of these reports are from the Smithsonian Institutes Bureau of Ethnology. 

Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution, 1894 

   A large mound situated on the farm of Col. B. H. Smith, near Charleston, is conical in form, about 175 feet in diameter at the base and 35 feet high. It appears to be double; that is to say, it consists of two mounds, one built on the other, the lower or original one 20 feet and the upper 15 feet high.

   In this vault were found five skeletons, one lying prostrate on the floor at the depth of 19 feet from the top of the mound, and four others, which, from the positions in which they were found, were supposed to have been placed standing in the four corners. The first of these was discovered at the depth of 14 feet, amid a commingled mass of earth and decaying bark and timbers, nearly erect, leaning against the wall, and surrounded by the remains of a bark coffin. All the bones except those of the left forearm were too far decayed to be saved; these were preserved by two heavy copper bracelets that yet surrounded them.

     The skeleton found lying in the middle of the floor of the vault was of unusually large size, "measuring 7 feet 6 inches in length and 19 inches between the shoulder sockets." It had also been enclosed in wrapping or coffin of bark, remains of which were still distinctly visible.

Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution, 1894 

   Mound 31 measured 318 feet in circumference, 25 feet high, and 40 feet across its flat top. […] A 10-foot circular shaft was sunk from the top and trenches run in from the side. The top layer consisted of 2 feet of soil, immediately below, which was 1 foot of mixed clay and ashes. Below this, to the bottom, the mound was composed of earth apparently largely mixed with ashes, placed in small deposits during a long period of time. Three feet below the top were two skeletons, one above the other, extended at full length, facing each other and in close contact.

     Above but near the heads were a pipe, celt, and some arrow or spearheads. Ten feet below these were two very large skeletons in a sitting position, facing each other, with their extended legs interlocking to the knees. Their hands outstretched and slightly elevated, were placed in a sustaining position to a hemispherical, hollowed, coarse-grained sandstone burned until red and brittle. This was about 2 feet across the top, and the cavity or depression was filled with white ashes containing fragments of bones burned almost to coals. Over it was placed a somewhat wider slab of limestone 3 inches thick.

South Charleston, West Virginia

   Below the center of No. 7 (see plate), sunk into the original earth, was a vault about 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. Lying extended on the back in the bottom of this, amid the rotten fragments of a bark coffin, was a decayed human skeleton, fully 7 feet long, with the head west. No evidence of fire was to be seen, nor were any stone implements discovered, but lying in a circle just above the hips were fifty circular pieces of white perforated shell, each about 1 inch in diameter and an eighth of an inch thick.

Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution, 1894  Kanawha County, West Virginia       
    At the depth of 14 feet, a rather large human skeleton was found, which was in a partially upright position with the back against a hard clay wall. All the bones were badly decayed, except those of the left wrist, which had been preserved by two heavy copper bracelets. Nineteen feet from the top the bottom of this debris was reached, where, in the remains of a bark coffin, a skeleton, measuring 7 1/2 feet in length and 19 inches across the shoulders was discovered. Each wrist was encircled by six heavy copper bracelets.

Kanawha County

   Mound 19, the one farthest to the east, is 60 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. It was found to contain a rude vault of angular stones, some of them as much as two men could lift. This had been built on the natural surface and was 8 feet long, 4 wide, and 3 high, but contained only the decaying fragments of a large skeleton and a few fragments of pottery.
