Symbol of Ancient Religion A serpent earthwork near West Union
The article describes a 1,200 foot long serpent earthwork built by mound builders, located near West Union and Bush Creek in Adams County. Its head rises about 100 feet on a rock platform facing the ascending sun, with a mouth swallowing an egg represented by an oval ridge.
