Adena Sun Temple at New Castle, Indiana - Winter Solstice Alignment

Adena Sun Temple at New Castle, Indiana - Winter Solstice Alignment

Sun Temple (Henge) located in Henry County, Indiana has a gateway aligned to the winter solstice sunrise.

This small isolated henge was constructed so that the gateway would align to the Winter Solstice sunrise.  This sun temple is located about 5 miles south of the larger Sun Temple complex, north of New Castle. A large hole is evident in the center of the enclosure that was the result of Ball State archaeologists.

Another Adena enclosure still remains in the city of New Castle. This is found at the west edge of Baker Park on S. Main St., immediately east of the Chrysler High School. Although its original use is problematical it is generally considered this type of enclosure was of ceremonial usage. It is an excellent example of the work of the Adena Culture although not as large as similar mounds found in the Mounds State Park in Anderson. New Castle and Henry County residents will do well to see that these works of the earliest residents are preserved for future generations.

Nephilim Sun Temple 666 Feet in Circumference in Madison County, Kentucky

This map of the two henges at the Bogy Mill was originally published in The Prehistoric Men Of Kentucky by Colonel Bennett Young in 1910. The smaller henge has a circumference of 450 feet and the larger was reported at 663 feet. The larger was more likely 666 feet and Young gave it a more benign measurement.

666 was the Gematria numerology codex for the Sun. Gematria was developed by the accounted giant race in the Bible called the Amorites. More on Gematria numerology within the Ohio Earthworks here https://www.mysteriesofancientamerica.com/2020/07/amorite-babylonian-numerology-at-adena.html

The Prehistoric Men of Kentucky, 1910

The best types of these circular enclosures are found in Fayette, Montgomery, and Madison county(s). Silver Creek, in Madison County, seems to have been a favorite place not only for the construction of mounds for habitation, but also for the erection of enclosures and ceremonial structures. Three of these can be found within a distance of three miles on Silver Creek—two of them on the land of Mrs. Fred Ferris, eight miles from Richmond, near a post office called Ruthton. They are both remarkable products of the prehistoric age, and one of them is practically untouched and uninjured. These two structures lie on the north side of Silver Creek, and with the exception of the circular enclosure on the North Elkhorn in Fayette, there is no earthwork better preserved in Kentucky than the small one of these. It was built on the spur of a hill coming down toward Silver Creek and nine hundred feet from the water line, with an elevation of probably fifty feet above the stream. On the west side was a steep slope, on the east side another slope, while on the north side it was only lifted about four or five feet above the original surface, and on the south side there was a descent to silver Creek.

Squire Boone, a brother of Daniel, in passing down Silver Creek noted the fine location of this particular point for a mill site, and told his companions it would be one of the best of such sites in Kentucky. In the early pioneer days a mill was erected by James Bogy at this place. He patented the land and died some time early in the Nineteenth Century, and chose the middle of the smaller of these structures for a family burying-ground. The larger structure consists of an embankment six hundred and sixty-three feet in circumference, inside of this moat or ditch. The height of the embankment has an average of four feet, the ditch a depth of from four to six feet. The width of the wall at the base is thirty-six feet, the width of the ditch forty feet. This ditch had evidently been filled up several feet by decaying vegetation and by erosion. The diameter of the inside plateau, or space surrounded by ditch, is one hundred and thirty-five feet. These structures are only about four hundred feet apart. The second is smaller but retains its form more perfectly, and is splendid demonstration of the symmetry with which these enclosures were laid out. It consists of an earthen embankment thirty-six feet in width. Inside of it is a ditch twenty-one feet wide, with a present depth of ten feet. The circumference of the embankment is four hundred and fifty feet. Inside of the ditch is a raised spaced with a diameter of seventy-five feet. This is covered now with a perfect sod of bluegrass, and trees are growing upon it, which show an age of one hundred and twenty-five years. The Bogy family, who patented this land, recognizing the splendid situation of this prehistoric structure and the symmetrical form of the plateau inside the ditch, with its seventy-five feet of diameter, appropriated it for a family burying-ground. These burials began in the Eighteenth Century and continued down to 1850. Every available space in the circle has been occupied by these intrusive burials. White and colored pioneers were here laid side by side. […]

North of Mrs. Ferris's place, about three miles farther down Silver Creek, is another of these enclosures, almost a counterpart of the two previously described.

This is an aerial from Microsoft Terra Server of the remaining smaller Bogy Henge. I was unable to access the site for a ground-level photograph because the drive back to the circle was gated. According to Kentucky law, if a member of the Bogy family asked that this graveyard be accessible, the owners of the property would be required to keep the gate open. The location of the Bogy circle is a half a mile east of Ruthton.

Nephilim Giant's Sun Temple Henge in Indiana

Nephilim Giant's Sun Temple Henge in Indiana

Indiana Geological Survey, 1862

Henry County, Indiana

About seven or eight miles west of New Castle, a number of Indian skeletons were disinterred in the constructing a turnpike, and about the same distance south of town some remarkable humans bones and skeletons of giant size were dug out, with other relics, during the making of the road.

Despite years of farming, the Nephilim giants henge site in Cambridge City, Indiana can still be discerned in this Google Earth photo.

Early map of the Nephilim Sun temple henges at Cambridge City, Indiana shows that the northern henge was aligned to the summer solstice sunrise (like Stonehenge) while the southern (best preserved) henge was aligned to  the Equinox.

Adena Henge or Sun Temple is Discovered in Chillicothe, Ohio

 Adena Mound Builders Henge is Discovered in Chillicothe

Adena or Beaker People Henge in England. A "henge" is defined by a circular earthwork with an outer wall and interior ditch that is usually breached by a gateway that is aligned to a solar event. 

   A 2500 year old earthwork called a henge that was an earthen temple dedicated to the Sun god has been located in Chillicothe, Ohio.  Archaeologist at the Hopewell Culture National Park in Chillicothe were clueless of its existence, despite being literally in their back yard.  

   The henge in Chillicothe appears to be the standard size of this type that is 210 feet in diameter and 660 feet in circumference.  The surrounding ditch would have been 30 feet wide.  The best preserved of these henge types is at Mounds State Park.

This is the henge located at Mounds State Park in Anderson, Indiana. The henge at Chillicothe, Ohio is the same size.  Note the burial mound in the center of the middle platform.  At Mounds State Park this henge aligned with the adjoining works to align to the Summer and Winter Solstices.  It was later destroyed by Indiana University archaeologists who were completely ignorant to its importance as a solar marker.

Aerial photo of the Adena Sun Temple Henge in Chillicothe, Ohio.  It appears to be aligned to the Summer Solstice sunrise.  Also note, the dot in the middle of the central platform shows that a burial mound was in the center.  Another Henge was opposite this one, but is only faintly visible.  What appears to be a sacred via is also visible extending from the north portion of the gateway to the henge.

Another  Adena henge group is located in Cambridge City Indiana.  It, like the Adena henge in Chillicothe, Ohio has been plowed for many years.  This henge is the same size as Anderson and presumably Chillicothe.

Despite being plowed for years the Cambridge City, Indiana Adena henge is still visible in this field. It  is presumed that the Adena Henge in Chllicothe will look very similar to this. 

Adena Henge Group (Sun Temples) in Athens County, Ohio: Babylonian Numerology Incorporated into the Henges

Adena Henge (Sun Temples) Group in Athens County, Ohio: Babylonian Numerology Incorporated into the Henges 

     


The largest henge is 210 feet in diameter which is the common measure for henges in the Ohio Valley. 210 x pi equals 660, which was a Babylonian number for the Male Sun deity 


   Four miles north of the town of Athens, Athens County, Ohio, is a broad and level Plain, Upon which is situated a large group of ancient earthworks.

       "The plain upon which these remains occur is not far from a mile and a half long, by a mile and a quarter broad, and contains upwards of one thousand acres. The soil is sandy argillaceous earth, easily tilled and quite fertile. At the northern extremity of the plain is the village of Chauncey, where are located several salt factories, which are supplied by some of the most abundant saline waters in the State of Ohio. The plain has an elevation of sixty or seventy feet above the present bed of the Hocking river, and was evidently formed when its waters flowed at a higher level. This stream now runs from half a mile to a mile to the eastward of the plain, separated from it by low hills. All around the margin of the plain, where not bordered by hills, burst forth copious springs of freshwater, which are most abundant in the vicinity of the principal ancient works. Most of these works occupy the south-eastern portion of the plain. They consist of a number of small circles, accompanied by mounds, the several dimensions of which are given in the accompanying plan. The largest circle is situated upon a detached point of land, of the same level with the adjacent plain, from which it is cut off by a deep ravine, in which flows a small stream. This detached portion contains not far from six acres. The circle itself has a diameter of two hundred and ten feet; the diameter of the enclosed area is one hundred and thirty feet; the height of the wall is seven feet, and the depth of the ditch six feet. In all of these circles, the ditch is interior to the embankment.

        "On the top of a hill, half a mile to the south of this plain is a stone mound fifteen feet in height. It is built of stones of various sizes, none of which, however, are larger than one man could conveniently carry. They must have been collected from considerable distances, as there are very few lying upon the surface of the adjacent hills. Many of them are water-worn and evidently came from the bed of some stream: some are limestone, some sandstone, and others quartz. About twenty years since a partial excavation was made, and the mound penetrated to about half its depth. Here were found three human skeletons, in tolerable preservation. From the appearance of ashes and charcoal beneath them, it was conjectured that the bodies had been burned. One of the skeletons had copper bracelets on its arms, and beads made of the tusks of the bear about its neck. These relics are now deposited in the Museum of the Ohio University, at Athens."

       It has been suggested, that the work situated upon the detached portion of the plain above mentioned was designed for defense. There is nothing to favor the suggestion, except the fact of position, which is far from conclusive. On the other hand, the small size of the work, its form, and the occurrence of the ditch interior to the wall, may be taken to establish a different origin,—probably a religious one.
