  • Join Clegg’s Adventures on another exciting adventure as we explore an ancient Adena stone platform in the high hills of eastern Ohio, another mystery of the Earthworks at Bens Run. But not before finding some amazing river treasures. Not just another artifact channel, but an adventure channel with a twist.

      Same here! Never been lucky enough, unfortunately for me all the banks of streams and rivers near me have pebbles and rocks for banks, nothing sandy. I guess that the reason. I’d love to learn more though, sometimes it’s the hunting that’s the best part, good luck Ray

      Finally found my first unbroken point in new years. I went years without but this year I've found about 4 broken points, a pestle, few manos and the unbroken point. I kept feeling like I was going to wake up any moment lol. I was starting to think I never would find one

      There is a site called Reservoir Stone Mound in my area. Most people have never heard of it but according to the local history, it was the largest stone pyramid north of Mexico. Unfortunately, it was destroyed for the stone to be used in Buckeye Lake during the canal times and later by vandalism. There are still remains, tho according to ODOT, who surveyed it in the 90s . Once I get permission from the land owner, I hope to document what's left . Reminds me of the runway in the video, mostly just relics left. Unfortunately.

    I’m from Miamisburg Ohio and it has one of the two tallest mounds in the eastern US. You may have heard of it or perhaps visited it. What many people don’t know is the downtown of Miamisburg was at one time a large ceremonial platform overlooking the Great Miami River. It was made of clay and some of the buildings in town were made of bricks from that clay. Love your channel.

    Thanks for the adventure! Interestingly, it is recognized that the current Ohio River from Pittsburgh PA to Cairo IL did not always flow as it currently does. The current river is comprised of various ancient stream beds which typically flowed northward. The Ben Run Ruins are at a division point of the current Ohio. The ancient streams and their watersheds divided at that point such that the waters to the east flowed to the east and north toward the Pittsburgh area and on to Lake Erie. Additionally, the waters west of Bens Run flowed westward and somewhat northerly at one point. It was not until later in pre-history that the Ohio (known as the Allegheny in our early historic times) Valley was formed with its current watershed and flow. Perhaps this info will shed light on the significance of this site. Again thanks for the video!

    Not suggesting this would be a good site, but here is a story told to me by my relative, a building contractor who was constructing a home in Racine, WV. They kept uncovering Native American artifacts. One evening, the home owner was examining the progress in the home, and the lights kept going out. He looked through a window and saw what appeared to be an Indian. I know how crazy it sounds. Had the story not come from people i know to be honest and trustworthy, i would dismiss it.

    Excellent historical and archaeological video! You do a great job of exploring an ancient site. This is VERY similar to the Newark Earthworks - Circle : there’s a very large circular earth mound / wall that is like a castle moat surrounding what I believe was the village. This makes sense as a protective barrier from animals and other tribes, even blocking some weather - winds and snow perhaps.
    In Cancun: there is a place called Tulum that I visited - huge pyramids for the sun and moon and carvings but the most interesting part is the wall (all stone) that surrounds the small city : it has one ingress and egress opening : the entrance only tall and wide enough for one person at a time.
    Great videos - keep them coming!
    I’m right up the river in Wheeling and would love to visit and meet you on the river some day for artifact hunting!!
    Best of luck!

    In regards to what that "runway" might be what is it's directional orientation? I was thinking to myself that it might be some sort of ceremonial procession walkway. It could be intended to depict the procession of the sun, the seasons or perhaps some sort of lore about the direction from which their ancestors came to arrive in that area? It could've also been some sort of lookout place or a boundary marking between different communities, what they perceived as the land of the living/dead or something else entirely.

    We've got several places like this in North Georgia. Well known are Alec and Fort Mountains and Little Mulberry Park. Possibly these were ancient observatories. There is usually a lack of artifacts within the confines of these enclosed sites suggesting that they were used as ceremonial/religious areas as well. Thanks for showing these sites. It truly is fascinating. Collecting artifacts got me interested in their history and I enjoy finding these sites myself as I've located several in my county. I've found rock walls and sites with numerous stone heaps throughout the woods. The professional opinion on stone heaps is that they were some type of marker but not a grave. Upon excavating the heaps of stone no skeletal remains are located and rarely any artifacts underneath. They could possibly be a grave marker. All stone heaps in my area are on the sides of hills, associated with visually appealing landscape and are usually surrounding or along a spring head or small creek. I've located 3 rock walls that seemingly go nowhere but are cool to check out nonetheless.

    For what it's worth, my guess is the stone walls could've been for ceremonial purposes and the stone piles on the hillsides could've been related to the ceremonial stone wall. Maybe the Chief and other elders would be on the wall and the lower leaderships would each be where the stone piles were. But I don't know, that still seems kinda off. But I could also see the structures being used for more religious/spiritual purposes. But also, I could maybe see the wall and stone piles being used as defensive structures. But I can't figure out which side of hill they would be defending, considering there was perhaps a similar structure across the river on the WV side. It's all so fascinating!
    Also, it does bother me that nothing is being done to preserve the stone wall and stone piles that still remain.
    I'll check out that article.

Up on top of hill in a pine thicket on property my family used to own. I have since always wanted to go back there and try to get permission to investigate further. I was way young then.

    There's a bunch of nice Indian burial mounds scattered throughout south central Ohio that most people don't even know about. We used to hunt points in a farmers field that was directly beside one of those mounds. I think the Indians used to pick the big open fields in between hills for their home base. No way anyone could ever sneak up on them in those locations, usually only one way in and one way out.

  • @paulp1a
    @paulp1a 2 роки тому +2

    If I had to guess, I would imagine these stone platform/runways were probably sacred burial grounds. The burials up on stilts with a platform on top. Since it's high up on a ridge with 360 views, I would imagine the Indians thought the spirits of the dead could reach into the heavens with ease. Just a guess

    Long time subscriber, first time commenter. The piled up rocks at the base of the runway or whatever it is are indeed Indian graves. I've seen the same type piles of rocks where I live near north central Md. I knew my great grandfather well, his grandfather told him the random piles of Rick's where we live are Indian graves. Also there is a similar runway at the top of the hill from the graves. My great grandfather never mentioned anything about it. He may have thought it to be natural which I did until I watched this video and remembered seeing it near the graves. I'm thinking it had something to do with a death in the tribe but it's still a mystery as to what. Thanks for an informative upload! 👍

    • @cleggsadventures
      @cleggsadventures  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the comment William! Yea, I’d say the runways were maybe more common than we know. That runway sits right in a big narrow saddle on top of the mountain. The river is to one side and the stone piles were on the other side towards the bottom of the hill. There’s more ruins around there I’m trying to find, it must have been huge at one time. If you haven’t read the article on this place, please do. It was done in 1927. It may uncover more answers.

    I think it’s interesting you have two runways within sight of each other.

    They were determined to be a man and woman of ancient Native Americans.
    They were rightfully given to a local tribe who re-interned them according to tradition. Just a thought.
