Here lies a mysterious prehistoric mound. It is an effigy of a winding serpent. Burial grounds from more recent Native American cultures rest adjacent the snake.
Who built this? Who were they? What was their thinking in creating a 1,400 foot long effigy of a snake? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_Mound" rel="nofollow">Archeologists are trying to answer these questions</a>.
My first impression is that a snake, which sheds its skin, is emblematic in many cultures of fertility, but in others of death and rebirth. Death and rebirth (life after the shedding of one's body) seem an appropriate theme in a place where the dead are buried.
