The Great Circle
Great Circle Mound, Newark Earthworks, Newark, Ohio
The Hopewell Culture (100 B.C. - A.D. 500) built large mounds, this one in a large circular pattern, that served as a combination burial place, ceremonial site, and lunar astronomical observatory. These prehistoric earthworks in Central Ohio are the largest geometric earthworks on Earth.
