The following article describes a stone circle near Mt. Shasta in California. This is more accurately
described as a mound, encircled by a ditch with the bottom of the ditch being curbed with stones. No
burials were found within the interior mound and the earthwork would appear to be “ceremonial” in
purpose. The raised area being surrounded by a ditch is similar to, if not a henge. Despite the poor quality of the photo, copied from microfiche, the central mound can be seen surrounded by a ditch. Within the ditch was the berm of stones. Also described were stone roads that connected the mounds in this group. This is similar to the earliest mounds in North America at Watson Break, Louisianna, dating as early as 3000 B.C.

Legends of 'Ghosts' Mount Shasta Race Revived as U.C. Scientist Puzzle Origin of Mounds MOUNT SHASTA,-Hoary legends of a supernatural race of people said to inhabit the icy slopes of Mount Shasta-tales long since thought discredited, were revived here today by the superstitious to interpret the mystery of the “Siskiyou Stone Circles,” which science thus far had been unable to do.
Anthropologists from the University of California examined the mounds and their perimeters of stone mosaic this weekend and came away shaking their heads. The Indians of the region deny they know anything of the mounds or their history. White men who were born here and remember the mounds from childhood can give no plausible explanation. A foot by foot search of the mound areas by men trained in tracing the activities of the ancients offered no clue. At least one local geologist insists that nature did not make the mounds.
A arrowhead has been picked up in the mound area, which lies near Bray and Tennant, north of Mount Shasta. It is a small arrow-tip chipped from obsidian, which was quarried from Glass Mountain, many miles to the east.
Each mound was the same, generally 60 feet in diameter with the earth rising in a near-perfect circle to the crest, approximately two feet above the surface of the surrounding terrain. Completely circling each mound was the stone path or mosaic.
The rocks of the mosaic unquestionably were picked up from among thousands of volcanic stones sprinkled over all the area. The curious thing is the manner in which they have been brought together around each mound. They seem to be set in a trench around the mound, with gravel and small rocks at the bottom of the trench graduating up to boulder size at the surface
The surface of the rock circle or path, is almost smooth, the rocks fitting like stepping stones. It is far easier to walk on the paths around the mounds, or the paths connecting one series of mounds with another, than to strike off across the fields where the rocks lay naturally.
Also pictured in this article was this stone covered with cup marks.
A similar structure was described by Bancroft in Colorado. A central mound that was surrounded by
stones, that were embedded in the ground. The discovery of mica within the mound shows that the
builders of this work, had contact with the east, where mica is found.
Bancroft’s Native Races, 1882 About half a mile west of Golden City, Jefferson County, Colorado, Mr. Berthoud reports to the Smithsonian Institution the existence of some ancient remains, at the junction of two ravines. They consist of a central mound of granite and sand not over twelve inches high, with traces of five or six shallow pits about it; all surrounded by traces of a wall consisting of a circle of moss-covered rough stones partially imbeded in the soil. South of the central mound is a saucer shaped pit, measuring twelve feet in width and from fifteen to eighteen inches in depth. At this point buffalo-bones and fragments of antlers are plentiful, and pieces of flint with plates of mica have also been discovered..
Mr. Foster quotes from a Denver newspaper a report of large granite blocks, of the nature of ‘dolmans’ standing in an upright position, on the summit of the Snowy Range; and Taylor had heard through the newspapers of pyramids and bridges in this territory.”
North of Colorado, in Saskatchewan another circle was reported. It is dated as early as 2500 B.C. ,
when the bolder mosaics and medicine wheels of Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Wyoming and
Montana were constructed. Spade and Screen from the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society, October 1948 “In Saskatchewen, we have two places called Stonehenge and Standing Rock, but neither of them
lives up to its name. However, in Manitoba, about 100 miles east of Winnepeg, there is a circle of
large stones and in a pasture south-east of Swift Current there is an alignment of heaps of stones
arranged in rows in two different directions. This land has not been broken and is still full of stones, so
it is not likely that these structures were set up by early white settlers.”
Medicine wheels followed a general plan of consisting of a central rock mound, with spokes or lines
of stones coming out of the mound an extending to an outer circle of stones. The structure looking like
a bicycle tire from the air. These spokes have been found to align to both solar, lunar and steller events.
Big Horn Medicine Wheel has been determined to have been constructed as a calender. The number of spokes extending from the central cairn are 28. This is an interesting similarity with Stonehenge that contained 56 Aubrey Holes. Professors Atkins and Hoyle of Cambridge University claimed that the Aubrey holes were used in computing the eclipses of the moon, that have a cycle of 56.
Some of the Medicine Wheels have been attributed to the Ojibwa Indians. There traditional
homelands being far to the north would be consistent with the presence of the genetic marker of Haplo
X within their population. It is possible that this genetic marker was spread by the Hunters and Fishers
of Europe and Asia.
The standing stones along the northeast coasts and the passage grave with a Mycenean doorway
lintel is evidence of a limited cultural influence from or by the Megalithic builders on the northeast
coast. The megalithic culture is evident in the Japanese island of Hokkaido; home of the Joman and
Ainu. With the identification of some of the skeletal remains in this region as Ainu, it suggests that
migrations were taking place at least as long as the Megalithic period.
The mounds on Mt. Shasta and in Colorado, with their stone berm and ditch are most similar to the
Corded People or Amorites. The use of stones weighing over a ton for the burial chamber has no
equivalents, except with the megalithic builders. The discovery of quartz within the burial chamber is
yet another similarity with the megalithic burials in Europe, and is persuasive evidence of a cultural exchange between the megalithic people of Europe and Asia and the North American continent.
The Sacred Marriage of Opposites The Etymology of Og and Awa
Clues to the existence of an ancient people's presence or cultural influence can be revealed in
language and place names they left behind. Ancient peoples named themselves, their cities and rivers
after the gods and goddesses they worshiped. The most common and most ancient of the gods and
goddesses was Hawwah/Avvah as the female Earth Goddess (Eve). The principle Earth Goddess
names also appear to be Ge, Ra, Ma and Wa/Va.
The Father is Og/Oc Eloah/Ala as the Sky or Sun, male god. “In Hebrew Og is also understood to
mean “he who goes in a circle,” which is suggestive of the Sun or Eye of Heaven. The sun was the
mighty, all-seeing ogler or goggler of the universe. Many times Og/Oc and Hawa/ Awa/ Ma are
combined in words representing the Sacred Marriage of Opposites; the Earth and Sky.
The Key, 1969, “ In attempting to forge a chain between the British Isles and the Medeteranean, in
particular a strong bond between the Stonehenge/Avebury complex and the golden culture of Mycenae
and Crete, there are two potential
ly vital links to examine. If you take the two separated words or
names originally in “Havoc,” Haue and Oc, the same names that predominate at Stonehenge and
Avebury, and reverse them, you have, Ochaue, pronounced Oc-ha-wa.
The name of the mysterious “Sea People” who invaded the Medeteranean in the thirteenth century
B.C. has been preserved in an extant letter and in several inscriptions. The letter was sent by the King
of the Hittites, whose empire was later smashed into bits by the “Sea People,” to their ruler, whom he
addressed on equal terms and affectionately as “brother.” The name he wrote as the country inhabited
by the “Sea People” as, “Akhaiwa, or Akhhiyawa.”
Akhaioi, or Akhaiowi, was the name in Greek for those whom we call the Acheans, the race of people who traditionally once occupied Cyprus, Phoenicia, and Egypt; who created the Mycenaean/Cretan culture.”
Og
Evidence that the Amorites and their cultural influence was moving west across the Medeteranean
and into the Aegean (Og.) was summarized by Rushing to Eve, Names of the Goddess, “The history of
Og/Oc is also a fascinating one, and one very often associated with Awa or Hawa. Tradition lists the
only other human survivor of the flood beside Noah and his family as Og. In Greek legend, the first
king of both Attica and Boeotia, founder of Thrace and of the Achaean League, builder of Thebes, is
Ogygios! He is said to be responsible for a series of floods in Boeotia and elsewhere, and is confused
by later sources with Noah. Another Greek tradition deals with Aigeus, also said to be a founder of
Greece, specifically of Athens, who come from Asia Minor via Cyprus and Crete, and whose son
Medus is said to be the father of Medes. He is known as the Goat King (from the Greek word for goat,
aig), and is said to have brought to Greece both the goat and the cult of Aphrodite, from the older
fertility cult of Astarte or Ashtaroth. Cohane, The Key, believes that these two figures, Ogygios and
Aigeus, can be traced to a single original source known in the Old Testament and Rabbinical tradition
as Og, who as king of Bashan, was a giant who was saved from the flood by climbing on the roof of the
ark. As founder of the fertility cult at the city of Ashteroth, he was worshipped throughout the
Medeteranean region. More than this, however, Cohane believes his memory is preserved in place
names throughout the world!”
The etymological links between Og and the Amorites and the later northern branch of the Amorites,
collectively known as the Beaker People, is revealed in the number of Og place names in and around
Stonehenge. The Key, Cohane “The Ock River, a tributary of the Thames flows across Salisbury Plain near Stonehenge. Over the centuries the spelling of this name has also alternated between Og and Ock.
The Og River runs more or less parallel to the Ock River past Stonehenge and the Ogbourne villages.
It is a tributary of the Bourne River, the second element in the Ogbourne name. This name has also
swung back and forth between Og and Ock.
Less than three miles south of Stonehenge is one of the oldest and largest prehistoric sites in England.
It is more than a mile in circuit, covering an area of sixty-two acres. The ramparts are thirty-three feet
high. Its name is no longer listed in most standard archaeological works, and it has blended to such a
degree into the surrounding countryside it is all but forgotten even by local inhabitants. Its name since
the beginning of the historic period has been, and still is, Ogbury Camp.
Before there was a villagebury on the site, as in the case of Ava at Avebury, this would have been
called the plain Og. Or, alternately, on the basis of the evidence from the Ogbourne villages, the Ock
River, and the Og River, just plain Oc. As one studies the region covered by these six names, the three
Og/Ochbourne villages, the two Og/Ock rivers, and Ogbury Camp, it would appear logical that in
prehistoric times this entire area around Stonehenge was dedicated to some personage or deity named
Og/Oc.”
Additional attributes of Og can be found in the English language. We know Og is associated with
Caves with the word Troglodyte. Cave people are been are typified as being Ogres, that are seen as
Ugly. Additional Og titles, attributes and place names in the British Isles and northern Europe are
listed.
The God -Kings and Titans, Bailey, 1973, “In Irish mythology, Og becomes the supreme ruler of the
universe and through Ogma, with whom his character is intertwined, the especial guardian of the
Tuatha De Danaan, one of the mining and seafaring groups of Ireland. It is Og who gives to the Irish
the only prehistoric script the British Isles have used, Ogham. Bailey quotes the Key, Cohan, 1969,
with additional place names in Ireland of, “ and the Dun Aongus on the Aran Islands, one is called Oghill Fort and the other Dun Aongus, Colhane says is an accepted epithet for Og. The parish of
Aughaval, Og-awa, contains the holiest site of pagan Ireland.”

Og in North America
The name Allegewi is very similar to the person or tribe, Tawagalawas, who were Amorite vassals of
a Hittite king who escaped by sea. Allegewi is Al (consort) og (sun god) awa (earth mother). The
same elements are found in Tawagalawas ag (sun god) al (consort) awa (earth mother). Various
historian have seen parallels with the Sea People, Amorites and the Hykos who called themselves
Akhaiwa ak (og) aiwa (earth mother). On an Egyptian glyph listing kings with the Sea People, it
identifies one of them as a king of the Amorites.
The most interesting assimilated uses Og in North America, is its meaning of “chief.” Og means
“chief” or “most high” in Hebrew, Aga
means “chief” in Turkey, Aga was Akkadian for “chief,”
Agag was the usual title of the Amelekite king, The Amelekites, one of the accursed nations conquered
by Joshua Numbers 24:7 “He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many
waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.”
The name Og, also means “chief” in many of the Native American languages. A Concise Dictionary
of Minnesota Ojibwa, by J. Nichols and Earl Nyholm, "Ogmia " means “chief”, “boss” or “leader.” The
Viking and the Red Man, The Old Norse Orgin of the Alonquin Language, 1894, "Ogima" means
“chief” or “chieftan.” "Ogimakewe" means “chiefs wife.” Handbook of Tribal Names of Pennsylania
Together with Signification of Indian Words (Iroquois) 1908, “O-gee-chee” means “head chief”, “Oge
ma” is “a chief.” A Dictionary of the Cree Language, as spoken by the Indians in the Provinces of
Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, 1986 “Okimaw” means, “honor,”
“aristocracy,” “chieftanship” American Antiquarian May, 1885, “Ock” or “Og” was The Chief God of
the Alonkins, "the common father" Archaeologia Americana 1836, Eskimaux (Tshuktchi, Asia, E. Shore) "Aghatt" is "God"“ Ogima” is Chippewa for “chief,”, “Okemah” is Ottawa for “chief,”
“Okima” is Sauk for “chief,”and “Okamow” is the Menomenies name for “chief.”
Within the Lakota Sioux pantheaon of Gods, the Sun God was known as Wi and the Earth Mother
was Maka-aken. Maka, the Earth Mother was grandmother of all things. She was created by Inyan,who
gave spirit to Maka-akan (Earth Goddess).
