Ancient Sun Serpent Stone Marks Solstice Calendar
Dayton AP reports archaeologists led by John White of Youngstown State University study the Kern Sun Serpent, a 66 foot stone alignment at Camp Kern near Morrow, Ohio, as one of two ancient solar markers used about 800 years ago to track summer and winter solstices. Researchers argue prehistoric Native Americans built complex astronomical networks linking planting and harvest rites, stressing sky knowledge over secular life while noting urban light pollution hides these ancient observations.
