Take a visual tour of the remaining Serpent Mounds in the Ohio Valley. There are far more than the famous Serpent Mound in Adams County, Ohio. Serpent mounds existed in Warren County, Ohio with an identical counterpart near Holton, Indiana that can still be seen.
The Serpent was symbolic of the sun, where it was incorporated into the construction of henges and hilltop ceremonial centers. The Serpent was also the consort of the Earth Mother and was part of mound and earthwork complexes where it was seen as a protector of the dead.
