Anthropologist says digging is but one part I went on a hike looking for ancient history. I thought I was the only one on the trail. When I came out of the woods, I was surprised to see an anthropologist (actually several) digging for artifacts of America's ancient Hopewell Culture.

Hopewell Culture National Historical Park Hopewell Mounds Group

Ancient Seip mound, Hopewell Nat'l Historical Park The <a href="https://www.nps.gov/hocu/learn/historyculture/seip-earthworks.htm" rel="noreferrer nofollow">U.S. national park website</a> describes this archeological site near Chillicothe, Ohio as follows:

&quot;Between 1 - 400 A.D., southern Ohio witnessed an extraordinary blossoming of cultural development. Even though they did not live in villages or practice large-scale agriculture, indigenous people of the Hopewell Culture made amazing advances in the fields of mathematics, engineering, art, trade and astronomy. However, why they built so many enormous ceremonial complexes in this area remains a mystery. There is no evidence that people lived within these earthworks. Rather, these huge architectural wonders appear to have been designed for large ritual gatherings. The timing of these special ceremonies was perhaps determined by astronomical cycles. Pilgrimages may have been made to these sacred enclosures by celebrants from far away.&quot;

It continues, &quot;It is clear that complexes like the Seip Earthworks were not the result of a haphazard heaping of earth. The geometric shapes are precise in their symmetry. In fact, the design and dimensions of Seip Earthworks are so similar to four other complexes around the Chillicothe area that they all must have been the result of engineering plans produced by the same group of people. Baum, Frankfort, Works East, Liberty and Seip Earthworks are all comprised of a small circle, a large circle and a square. When early American archeologists Ephraim Squier and Edwin Davis mapped and measured these five earthwork complexes in the 1840’s, each square was the same size: 1,080 feet to a side, 27 acres. This impressive feat suggests that the Hopewell people had a common unit of measure 2,000 years ago. Also, the dimensions of the three shapes indicate that the Hopewell even understood mathematical relationships between circles and squares.&quot;
