Y’all I am So Excited about this. The Serpent Mound and the other Hopewell mounds are one of the few genuinely cool things about Ohio

Excerpts:

"In the past we might sometimes say 'Hopewell culture' or 'Hopewell people,' but what we really understand 'Hopewell' to be now is not a new peoples," explains Bill Kennedy, site manager and site archeologist at Fort Ancient Earthworks and Nature Preserve. "It's a new religious movement of people. It's happening all throughout eastern North America. It reaches a fluorescence, though, in southern Ohio that it doesn't reach anywhere else."

…Chief Ben Barnes of the Shawnee Tribe, who was involved in the earthworks nomination, also sees its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a step toward combating racist and ignorant stereotypes about his people and his ancestors.

"They're great civil engineers. They're artists, they're astronomers, mathematicians, and for my people, that's not the way that Shawnee people, or any Indigenous peoples in this country, are typically portrayed in media," he says.

In addition, the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks address gaps in the World Heritage List identified by the World Heritage Committee. Specifically, a lack of sites representing pre-contact Indigenous American sacred architecture and sites that represent early understandings of science, culture and astronomy.

…Today no federally recognized tribes remain in Ohio. They were all forcibly removed in the 17 and 1800s. Yet it was their ancestors who created these massive feats of design and engineering.

Glenna Wallace is chief of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma and has been active in the World Heritage process. She says inscription on the World Heritage List is part of her mission to teach people about the earthworks that her ancestors built.

She says their inclusion would not be an ending, but another beginning.

"Our people may have been forced away from that place, and they may have disappeared, but what they built, what they constructed, what their values were, that's still there and that should be protected," she states.

"That's the reason for World Heritage."

In becoming a UNESCO World Heritage site, Wallace says she hopes the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks will finally attain the reverence and respect they deserve.

Uncoiling across the Ohio landscape, this 1,300-foot serpent effigy intertwines secrets that span millennia. Is it a calendar, an altar, or a cosmic connection? Can its celestial alignments unveil the secrets of the ages?

Molly Tuttle & the Golden Highway last night at the Beacon Theater in Hopewell

Probably the most Virginia show I’ve been to, what with the bluegrass and the audience hootin’ and hollerin’ and the mulleted dude with the aviator shades dancing in the aisle the whole night

Closing my eyes, I listen... hoping to hear echoes of the past. Yet after my climb, only my breath joins the chorus of wind in its journey through the trees, now clinging to the sides of ancient earthworks in Newark, Ohio.

Resembling a defensive structure, it was once called the Old Fort. Surrounded by a deep trench, early residents thought it was used as a moat; however, with the trench within the interior of the structure, Archaeologists raised doubts regarding this theory, and now refer to the ancient mound as the Great Circle earthworks.

Constructed by the Hopewell culture between 100 BCE and 400 CE, it's one of the largest earthen enclosures in the world. While there are many theories for its construction, not much is known about the Hopewell or the use of their Great Circle.

On this evening, the sun continued her decent, embracing the ancient structure. Its mysteries slowly engulfed in shadows of twilight. Its stories concluding in silence... an ending only known by its builders.

Hopewell Wittebane Tickle Facts

SO! I JUST REALIZED I NEVER MADE THIS!

I meant to make this awhile ago, but I totally forgot about it! But hey! Better late than never!

Hopewell Wittebane tickle facts:

Lee:

-Now Hopewell isn’t the biggest lee, it’s very rare he actually gets tickled, and when it happens he can usually easily overpower the one tickling him.

-He’s not a super ticklish person either. Sure most spots could make him giggle or squeak if he’s caught unawares. But there are only a few spots that really make him lose it.

-His bad spots are, his hips, his lower back, his knees, and his thighs. He can’t stand these spot being touched for long before he starts laughing.

-His laugh isn’t one most people expect, at least not from him. It’s boyish, bubbly and bright, he squeaks a lot when he laughs really hard. It’s honestly rather adorable.

-Feathers are one thing that get him giggling hard, no matter where they’re used. Very light and gentle tickling is usually the way to make him crumble. 

-Growing up he was never really tickled, maybe by the occasional scout who felt playful, or maybe even his uncle when he was having a good day and he thought it would be funny. But all and all, it was a rare occurrence, and when it did happen it was over quickly.

-When he was older is never happened, not till he started mentoring Darius (and later Eberwolf as well).

-They forcibly pulled out the long buried playful side of him, and when they found out he had ticklish spots it was over basically before it began.

-He doesn’t mind tickling so much, it can be fun when it’s with people he trusts (aka Darius and Eber). Otherwise he hates it.

-He has had some secret partners in the past tickle him, he didn’t mind when they did. If it made them happy, he was happy to play along.

Ler

-He’s not a huge ler either really. At least not till he meets Darius and Eber.

-He’s methodical when he’s tickling someone. He’ll map out their worst spots, then figure out which techniques or tools (usually feathers, brushes, or even leaves) work best on them. Then he’ll cycle between their worst spots, changing techniques and tools when he goes to a new spot.

-He doesn’t baby talk, his teasing is largely just stating facts or asking questions like, “You really are ticklish here.” “Does it tickle more when I do this, or this?” “Wow, good to know that technique works on you. I’ll keep that in mind.”

-He has an amazing memory, and he will remember all of a persons tickle spots and what works best on them.

-For Darius and Eber, he uses it mainly as a harmless “punishment” when they do poorly in training. Or he’ll do it if it seems like they need a pick me up after a bad day. Though he’ll never admit that’s why he’s doing it.

-He’ll usually set up an impossible test so they “fail” and then tickle them silly.

-He thinks they don’t know.

-They do.

-He has tickled his partners in the past, and he always thinks it’s the cutest thing when they’re losing their minds over his tickly ways. It usually ends with him kissing them and calling them adorable.
