Ancient Adena Burial Mound in Randolph County, Indiana

 Ancient Adena Burial Mound (Windsor) in Randolph County, Indiana

This is the largest Adena burial mound in the state of Indiana, located east of Windsor, Indiana.  The mound dates from 800 B.C. - 200 A.D. Ball State University archaeologists have removed the back of this burial mound without restoring their destruction. It's sad that such an antiquities jewel has been reduced to an archaeological field school. Near this site was an earthwork and mass grave of Nephilim giants www.nephilimgiants.net : Nephilim Graveyard Discovered on the Banks of the White River at an Earthen Temple in Winchester, Indiana

History of Randolph County, Indiana, 1885:

East of Windsor and north of the Pike, on Esq. Thompson’s farm, may be seen a large oval mound, covering an acre, and twenty-five or thirty feet high. It is 450 yards round the base and longer than it is wide. When dug into, it shows clay mixed with ashes and coal more or less. A chunk, seeming to have been a sod of grass, was thrown up from the bottom of a hole twenty feet deep, dug from the top vertically downward. A red oak tree, four feet through, was standing (forty years ago) near the top of the mound, but no other trees of much size were on its surface. The ground around the mounds was then covered with large forest trees. There are now many trees growing along the sides of the mound, from six to fifteen inches through. An excavation of considerable size appeared (forty years ago) perhaps twenty rods from the base of the mound, which is thought to be the place whence the earth for its construction was taken. Another smaller mound lies across the river not far away. Esq. Thompson has preserved many fine specimens of arrowheads, hatchets, hammers, pestles, etc., picked up on his farm. The hatchets and hammers have hollows cut around them for handles. The relics are all of stone. Many of them are worked smooth and highly polished.

Hopewell Burial Mound at Chain Of Lakes Park in Noble County, Indiana. Partially Destroyed by Indiana University Archaeologists

 

Hopewell Burial Mound at Chain of Lakes Park in Noble County, Indiana. Partially Destroyed by Indiana University Archaeologists



A hiking trail passes right in front of this burial mound at Chain of Lakes Park.   It is so overgrown in the summer; most would walk right by it. See it in the winter. This is another burial mound dug into by the notorious IPFW archaeological school from Fort Wayne. The large hole on the top is their work. The artifacts and skeletal remains were stolen and at last word were with the lead archaeologists who is still "studying" them. Simple grave robbing. There are 85 mound and earthworks in Indiana with only three preserved by the Indiana Historical Society. Here are five burial mounds in Richmon Indiana that are not recognized as historic sites www.nephilimgiants.net : Richmond, Indiana Burial Mound Tour

Ball State University Archaeologists Scheduled to Continue the Destruction of Oneota Sioux Hopewell Burial Complex in New Castle, Indiana

 

Ball State University Archaeologists Scheduled to Continue the Destruction of Oto Sioux Hopewell Burial Complex in New Castle, Indiana



After the destruction of Indiana's finest burial mound, Ball State Archaeologists are scheduled to continue their desecration of this Oto Sioux Hopewell site in 2018-2019.  More destruction and crimes by Indiana archaeologists at the Strawtown, Indiana site. www.nephilimgiants.net : Hamilton County Parks Department Fined for Allowing IPFW Archaeologists to Desecrate and Steal Native American Remains

    Only a small portion of this large Oneota Sioux Hopewell burial mound was left after it was excavated by Ball State archaeologists in 1968.  The mound was unique in that it was loaf-shaped that was surrounded by a ditch and outer earthwork in the picture on the right, Ball State University archaeologists are shoveling the cremated remains of Oneota Sioux Hopewell Indians into a wheelbarrow.
    Had this site been preserved it would have drawn tens of thousands of visitors a year. New Castle government officials had vowed a few years ago that they would never allow Ball State University archaeologists to return and further destroy this historic treasure.
   It is not known what they plan on excavating, but whatever it is will result in less of the mounds and earthworks being left in their original condition.  

The burial mound being destroyed by Ball State University grave robbers is # 4 on this map.

Ohio Historical and Archaeological Society Bulletin Reports "Very Large Skeletons" in a Newark, Ohio Burial Mound

 

Ohio Historical and Archaeological Society Bulletin Reports "Very Large Skeletons" in a Newark, Ohio Burial Mound





The large skeleton was found in a burial mound inside of a large henge (Sun Temple) to the northeast of this large burial mound next to the Fairmount Church in Licking County.  More giant skeletons from Ohio found here www.nephilimgiants.net : Giant Human Skeletons Discovered in Ohio


Ohio Historical and Archaeological Society Bulletin, 1900 

     Among the most elaborate and extensive of these works were those on the high hill, the most elevated ground in the vicinity, a short distance north of Amsterdam, near to, and in a northeasterly direction from the Fairmount church in Licking township. These consisted of a circular wall or embankment, now only a few feet high, enclosing an area of about eight acres. On the outside of this wall is a ditch eight or ten feet in width, which was made by throwing the earth out to make the embankment. These works have been plowed over many times and are gradually disappearing. Within this enclosure there stood, near its center, and within one hundred feet of each other, three mounds, two being of stone. One of the stone mounds had a diameter at the base of forty-five feet, and the other two mounds of thirty feet; all were about twenty-five feet in height. The two stone mounds were removed many years ago bv Mr. John Cover, who found in the large one some skeletons within three feet of the surface of the ground, which must have belonged to persons of very large size. The stone in these mounds were not of large size, and the earth, after their removal, was very black and gave indications of the presence of fire before and soon after the commencement f the mounds; perhaps upon the first layer of stone, or more likely, upon altars which had been erected, and upon which sacrifices had been offered as an act of worship, as was the practice of some ancient nations.
