OK, are you ready?!
At Google Earth did you find the large "Native American" viz. "Indian" mound not far from Judaculla Rock and virtually directly South of the Great Serpent Mound of Ohio? We will turn to these mounds and others shortly.
We are about to begin a marvelous journey into a study and understanding of the mounds, petroglyphs and painted art of Native America, showing that Native Americans viz. American Indians (or their ancestors) did not place these by chance throughout the landscape, but rather according to a reconstructable astronomical system of geographic orientation, "as above, so below", as precedentially described for the Pawnee Indians of Nebraska, and cited at our Megaliths.net website on megalithic cultures, where we write:
You will now see in subsequent postings that this practice was not restricted to the Pawnee, but characterized the entire culture of Native America.
To make this fun for all, we will not reveal the entire solution at once, but will travel through the great land of North America (mostly the present USA, but also including Canada and Mexico), individual location by individual location, and show how many of the mounds, petroglpyhs and painted rocks of Native America "were located ... according to patterns seen in stars of the heavens".
Have your "Google Earth" or comparable geo-program at the ready!
Let us now head to West Virginia.
The Cygnian Swan of Moundsville is our first in presentation of many,
because the correspondence at Moundsville between the mounds, appurtenant earthworks and the stars is so simple and so obvious, even to a lay person ...
We are off to the mounds!

The Great Mound, Petroglyph and Painted Rock Art Journey of Native America

"As observed by Alice Cunningham Fletcher (Alice C. Fletcher) in her 1902 publication in the American Anthropologist, there is ample evidence that some ancient cultures, e.g. the Pawnee in Nebraska, geographically located their villages according to patterns seen in stars of the heavens. FLETCHER, A. C. (1902), STAR CULT AMONG THE PAWNEE —A PRELIMINARY REPORT. American Anthropologist, 4: 730–736. doi: 10.1525/aa.1902.4.4.02a00050."We honor in memory A.C. Fletcher. THANK YOU! She wrote that more than 100 years ago and no one, except for the present writer, has paid any attention.
