GGG Ping.

[Red Badger]

So this is evidence that ancient Ohioans discovered EuROPe........

[Brilliant]

It looks more like a road than a snake to me.

Brings to mind the first "Conan the Barbarian" film where snake worshippers ruled.

Dr Keith Ray said as far as he is aware the stone feature is unique in Europe.

“We can only speculate it may have been used in some kind of ritual,”

Or art.

Odd that they’re assuming that this was designed and created by an intelligent being.

This could have just occurred naturally. Indeed, over a long enough timeline it’s a certainty that this exact formation would appear without any intelligent force behind it.

Watch out, ancient snakes can be dangerous!!!

Plot summary for
The Lair of the White Worm (1988)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095488/plotsummary

Scottish archaelogist Angus Flint discovers an odd skull amid the ruins of a convent which he is excavating. Shortly thereafter, Lady Sylvia Marsh returns to Temple House, a nearby mansion, far earlier than expected. At a party in the village, Angus meets Lord James D’Ampton, who has just inherited his family’s lands, right next to Temple House. Angus learns of the D’Ampton Worm, a huge dragon/snake which an earlier D’Ampton killed by cutting it in half. (There’s a pretty catchy rock-folk song that tells the D’Ampton Worm legend.) As people begin disappearing and acting strangely over the next day or two, the skull is stolen from Angus’ room, and the watch of a missing person is found in a cavern which was the legendary home of the D’Ampton worm. Angus and James discover that there was an ancient cult which worshiped the worm as a god, and theorize that the creature somehow survived its “destruction”, but was trapped inside the cavern. The remainder of the movie shows Angus, James, and Mary Trent attempting to stop Lady Marsh from freeing the creature... Written by Alik Widge

Something about this doesn’t adder up

Too bad for the locals. They’re about to lose another patch of earth to a UN World Heritage site.

Six people who were arrested during a protest to save the remains of a Bronze Age footpath have pleaded not guilty to aggravated trespass. They were all detained at a meeting of Herefordshire Council after councillors declined to discuss the future of the so-called Rotherwas Ribbon.

The monument, a series of deliberately fire-cracked stones, was found during excavation work for a new road. The six appeared at Hereford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. Martin Wyness, 49, of Harold Street, Hereford; Jacqueline Tonge, 46, of Bute Avenue, Hereford; David Phelps, 54, also of Bute Avenue; Jane Knight, 55, of Withy Trees, Burrington, Ludlow; Matthew Hatter, 31, of Park Street, Hereford, and Charles Arthur, 30, of The Post Office, Stoke Prior, near Leominster, Herefordshire, were all granted unconditional bail. The defendants spoke only to confirm their names, addresses and their pleas during a short hearing. They are due to return to the same court on 5 October, alongside two other defendants who pleaded not guilty to aggravated trespass at an earlier hearing.
