The Ancient Hopewell Road Aligned to the Bright Star Fomalhaut and the Constellation Pisces

The Hopewell Road was two parallel berms of earth about 3 feet in height and 200 feet wide. The road ran from the Octagon at Newark to Chillicothe, Ohio some 60 miles distant. The direction of the road was oriented 211° 25’ from Newark, Ohio Octagon to the Octagon at Chillicothe, Ohio

POSSIBLE ASTRONOMICAL REFERENCES IN THE PLANNING OF THE GREAT HOPEWELL ROAD

Giulio Magli, Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano Italy .

“At azimuth 211° 25’, an observer looking south-west with a flat horizon would have seen the bright star Fomalhaut, of the constellation Piscis Austrinus, setting in alignment with the road. Thealignment is optimal around 250 BC. At this date, Fomalhaut was setting at an azimuth of 211° 25’With an altitude of 1°

This recent photo is where the Hopewell Road passes the burial mounds at Geller Park in Heath, Ohio. The walls can be traced past Ramp Creek.  For 121 photos of Ohio's burial mounds and earthworks www.nephilimgiants.net : 121 Photos of Burial Mounds in Ohio Including the :Address Restricted" Sites

The Newark Ohio Hopewell Earthworks. To the left is the circle and octagon with a long parallel sacred via that was believed to have gone all the way to Chillicothe, Ohio.

Dashe Reeves was the pioneer in photographing segments of the Hopewell Road in the 1930s.  The lines made from the two parallel walls can be seen at the top of the photo.

    One of the sites that is scheduled to be investigated in the winter of 2012 are the physical remnants of what is called "The Great Hopewell Road."  The Hopewell Road was discovered by Captain Dache Reeves, of the U.S. Army Corps in 1934 using aerial photography.
      Squire and Davis, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley had traced the embankments two and a half miles south to the banks of Ramp Creek.

If you look at the above map of the Newark Earthworks, this is the remnant of the L shaped portion of the sacred via, that extends from the octagon. This is the best-preserved portion of the Hopewell Road that extends south into area that were farmed for years.  Regardless, portions of this sacred via may still be visible in some areas.

Part of the Hopewell Road can be seen in the photo taken by Reeves in 1934.  It also shows that there were earthworks built along this sacred via. The importance of this work is that it shows that the Adena Hopewell were skilled surveyors.
