Ohio's Tarleton Cross was to Scare Evil Spirits Away From the Graves at the Site

Ohio's Tarleton Cross was to Scare Evil Spirits Away From the Burial Mounds at the Site



SUN AND FIRE SYMBOLISM.
There is a phase of sun and fire symbolism which seems hitherto to have received but little attention, viz., the presence of such symbols in crests or in the coats-of-arms of many of the oldest families and landed gentry of the British Isles. We find them in the greatest numbers in the armorial bearings of our Scottish families and those belonging to the most northern counties of England; probably for the same reason that they are most numerous on objects which have been found in the northern portions of Scandinavia. Some of the emblems of the sun and of the swastika as a fire symbol and the wheel are in use in some countries to this day as a preservative against fire. A type of fire symbol exists in some parts of England at our very doors. In Gloucestershire and Herefordshire — possibly also in some of the other southwestern counties of England — it is not an uncommon circumstance to see on the external walls of some of the older houses one or two pieces of iron in this form:  And sometimes thus : tershire man, and on being asked the reason of the + form of these irons, he replied that "they were made thus V_) in order to protect the house from fire, as well as from falling down." In the little village of Kingstone, in Herefordshire, it is still the custom of the people on the eve of May-day to I take two short pieces of wood and nail them in this form X over the door of a house or stable, removing the one of the previous year. On inquiry why this was done, the reply was, "To scare the witches or the evil spirits away." H. G. M. A.

Giant Osage Hopewell Skeletons Unearthed in Illinois Burial Mounds

 Giant Osage  Hopewell Skeletons Unearthed in Illinois Burial Mounds 



Osage ancestry built many of the burial mounds throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.  All of their legends claim that they once lived in the Ohio Valley.  Because university archaeologist refuses to recognize the Osage as the builders of the mounds, the Native American Graves Protection Act is not invoked, that only applies to "known" tribes.  Until then university archaeologist continues to desecrate Osage burials.
     
The following articles describing large skeletons is consistent with the Osage, who were known for their great height.

History of Daviess County, Illinois 1879
     The mounds on the bluff have nearly all been opened within the last two or three years by Louis A. Rowly, Esq., Mr. W. M. Snyder and Mr. John Dowling, assisted by Sidney Hunkins and Dr. W. S. Crawford. These gentlemen have taken much interest in these prehistoric structures, and have very carefully investigated them. In all that have been opened the excavators have found in the centre a pit that was evidently dug about two and a half feet below the original surface of the ground, about six feet long and four feet wide, in the form of a parallelogram. The bottom and sides of this pit are of hard clay. The bones in this pit indicate a race of gigantic stature, buried in a sitting posture around the sides of the pit, with legs extending towards the centre.

History of Mifflin County, Ohio, 1880
      South of this, on the banks of Peoria Lake, near the city of Peoria, Illinois, there were excavated a few years ago by the Scientific Association of Peoria the contents of a very large, oval mound, and in it were found three human skeletons, a man, a woman and a boy, all lying straight beside each other, the boy asleep on the woman’s arm. The skeleton of the boy was about three feet long, but the man and the woman had a stature of seven feet. The bones were decomposed rapidly on being exposed to the air, except the skulls, which being of a harder texture had better withstood the tooth of time.  Though these figures were of immense stature, their immense skulls were fully in proportion to their frames, and possessed of a frontal development of reasoning powers of immense size.

History of Logan County, Illinois, 1886
      It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the place of sepulcher raised by the Mound Builders from the modern graves of the Indians.  The tombs of the former were in general larger than those of the latter, and were used as receptacles for a great number of bodies, and contained relics of art, evincing a higher decree of civilization than that attained by the Indians.
The ancient earthworks of the Mound Builders have occasionally been appropriated as burial places by the Indians, but the skeletons of the latter may be distinguished from the osteological remains of the former by their greater stature.

Roman Coin Discovered in Texas Burial Mound

The Daily Herald (Chicago, Ill) December 24, 1976
  Austin, Tex. (UPI) The discovery of a dime-sized piece of metal in an Indian mound is causing some consternation among anthropologists.
   The COIN minted in London in 313-314 A.D., is found so frequently in Europe it is not worth faking, said Dr. John Kroll, assistant professor of classics at the University. It is inscribed on one side with the head of a young emperor wearing the laurel crown and the other side with the sun.  it was worth a nickel in its time and the only about $10.00 today. but Epstein said, "For my purposes, it's invaluable.'

Giant is Excavated from Henry County, Indiana Burial Mounds

Giant is  Excavated from Henry County, Indiana Burial Mounds



One of the largest Hopewell Sioux burial mounds near New Castle, Indiana was obliterated by Ball State University archaeologists. The cremated remains are within the dark soil that is being shoveled into wheelbarrows.
Large skeletons were reported in many of the burial mounds within the county.

Biographical Memoirs of Henry County Indiana, 1902 
     William H. Albright remained upon the home farm during his youth and attained a fair education in the common schools of his neighborhood. He has taken much interest in the investigation of the noted mounds, one which he opened containing the skeleton of a giant human being. The lower jaw was large enough to fit over ‘an ordinary man’s head, while the other bones were proportionate in size. The skull was a half inch in thickness and under it were found twelve flint arrowheads. Mare giants uncovered in Indiana are found here https://nephilimgiantsinnorthamerica.blogspot.com/2020/07/indianas-ancient-giant-race.html

My Close Encounter at a Wisconsin Burial Mound Site

My Close Encounter at a Wisconsin Burial Mound Site

This is the bright orange sphere of light that raced across the sky, stopped and the slowly disappeared.

     Past dark at a Wisconsin burial mound site in route back to the car a red light was witnessed in the eastern sky. I immediately got clear of the trees where` I witnessed an orange ball of light streaking across the sky towards us. The reddish orange light then abruptly stops overhead. If I was to guess, I would estimate it to be about 30,000 feet up and massive. It remained in this spot for about a minute and then slowly started to fade away, and then, poof, it was gone, leaving us all looking into the black starry sky. Everyone was strangely quiet for just long enough to where another one of these orange balls was seen streaking across the sky towards us following the same path as the last. Again, this orange ball abruptly stopped in the exact same place in the sky.  I was amazed and a bit terrified. Your first response is to rationalize it, but there was no explanation for what we just witnessed. 

    After 5 years, I finally researched YouTube to see if anyone else had seen anything like we witnessed. I couldn't believe that there were others that had seen the EXACT same thing. Not only the orange ball but how it stopped in the sky and then slowly disappeared. Skeptics first response is that we say Chinese lanterns, - No, I assure you they weren't.

      This account is also from Burlington, Wisconsin that was recorded one year after my encounter. This also was two spheres that shrank from the sky. Followed are several accounts described in YouTube of the same orange spheres.

   A year later the exact same thing was witnessed.

Burlington, WI

I recorded these over my house near Burlington WI. last night at 8:07PM. I hung up to call my dad and one slowly flickered and shrank in size until it disappeared and about 5 seconds later the second one did the same thing. I didn't record that part as I was talking to my dad (who also saw the objects along with my brother and his wife on the from a different location about a quarter mile away) on the phone that I used to record the video. My two kids saw them as well.
Not sure what to make of them.
