I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, which is and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty; giving first, power on earth; secondly, the spirit, added from heaven without ending.
Bat Creek Stone
The Bat Creek Stone was excavated in 1889 from an undisturbed burial at Bat Creek, Tennessee by
the Smithsonian Institute. The stone was found underneath the head of one of the skeletons. Wooden
earspools and bronze bracelets. A renowned Hebrew scholar, Cyrus Gordon, confirmed that the writing
was Paleo-Hebrew, dating from the first to second century A.D.
The longest phrase, (LYHWD) was translated as “for Juda.” This was the Jewish Aramaic spelling
of Judea.
Carbon dating was performed on the earspools that confirmed their date was from the first century A.D. Test were also done on the bracelets, that confirmed that were made of brass. Brass is an alloy of
copper and zinc. The composition of the alloy was similar to that used by the Romans.
Round stone discs called spindle whorls are also found in the Medeteranean and the British Isles.
They have been considered by some archaeologist as evidence of weaving, since similar pieces are
found within ancient looms. However, many of these whorls have characters inscribed on them, and
they probably were used as good luck fetishes, and worn as a necklace or attached to clothing.
Their shape of a circle with a hole in the center is the same as the Allegewi Hopewell icon for the sun
and may have been used in sun worshipping ceremonies. Adding to this supposition are the characters
that are inscribed on the stones that consists of the sun's rays. Spindle whorls found in ancient Troy were described in Archaic England, Bayley, 1920. “Egypt was known as “The Land of the Eye” the amulet of the All-seeing Eye was perhaps even more popular in Egypt than in Eturia, and the mysterious and unaccountable objects called “spindle whorls,” which occur so profoundly in British tombs, and which also have been found in countless numbers underneath Troy, were probably Eye amulets, rudely representative of the human iris. The Trojan examples here illustrated are conspicuously decorated with the British Broad Arrow, which is said to have been the symbol of the Awen or Holy Spirit. In their accounts of the traditional symbols, speech, letters, and signs of Britain, according to their preservation by means of memory, voice and usages, the Welsh Bards asserted that the three strokes of the Broad Arrow or bardic hieroglyph for God originated from three diverging rays of light seen descending towards the earth.
Out of these strokes were constituted all the letters of the bardic alphabet, the three strokes /│ reading in these characters respectively 0 1 0, and thus spelling the mystic OHIO.”

The spoked pattern is recognized as being symbolic of the sun or the Egyptian hieroglyph for “the earth” or “underworld.”
The Allegewi Giants
Physical similarities exists between Shell Mound People, the Glacial Kame, and the Allegewi mound
builders in the Ohio Valley. All were tall, with archaic physical features that are closely tied to the Cro
Magnon species of the Upper Paleolithic. Cultural similarities of these groups may stem, in part from
the Beaker People spreading north into Finland and the shores of the Baltic sea, the isles of Denmark,
and the Scandinavian countries. Gimbutus pointed out that the Beaker People had developed maritime
propensities and had amalgamated with culture of the Hunters and Fishers.
The cultural exchanges between the Beaker People and the Hunters and Fishers may have occurred
on northern European soil prior to coming to North America. It is also possible that cultural exchanges
and assimilation in Europe, solidified a more cohesive cultural element in North America. Migrations
from northern Europe and Northern Japan would eventually cease, leaving the inhabitants of North
America isolated.
The isolation was the result of the Celts migrating into the British Isles, from 1500-1200 B.C and
ending the domination by the Beaker Peoples in England. At the same time, the Amorites were also
being displaced from the eastern Medeteranean by the Hittites, Egyptians and Hebrews. These dates,
also corresponding to the end of the manufacturing of copper weapons and mining operations on Lake
Superior.
This physical mix of the Beaker People and the Hunters and Fishers of northern Europe is evident in
North America, within the skeletal remains. Since both populations were of the Upper Paleolithic
variety, there are few physical differences between some of the skulls found in conical mounds in
England and those found in the glacial kames around the Great Lakes.
On the left is a skull from a conical mound in southwestern England, attributed to the Beaker People. On the right is a Glacial Kame skull from Michigan. The shape, brow ridge and sloping forehead are similar in both skulls.
The Dinaric skulls with their their heads flattened in the back are easily recognized. This along their
archaic features of protruding brow ridge, thick skulls, massive jaws and large height make them
unique to any other skeletal remains. The Dinaric type is found most extensively in the Ohio Valley,
however isolated finds have been made in close proximity to shell mounds.
That the skeletal remains are not isolated to the Ohio Valley is evidence that they had trading
outposts the extent of North America. These were no doubt to secure the trade lines that extended from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and that brought obsidian, galena, mica, shells, copper and other trade goods
to be crafted into various objects.
One of these burial mounds was in the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama. This is evidence that the
Dinaric/Allegewi range was extensive across North America and that they were geographically and
culturally connected with those burying their dead in the shell mounds. Hog Island mound in Alabama
had distinctive Allegewi element of cupstones that were included in the burials.
Smithsonian Institutions’ Bureau of Ethnology 44th Annual Report
The Hog Island Mound On the bank of the river, a mile below the shell heap just described is an earth mound about 50 by 60 feet, longest north and south. As the ground has long been cultivated, it is probably the shape has been somewhat changed; it was no doubt practically circular when built.
On the east side, mostly in the trench but extending a short distance under the outside wall, was a grave 81/2 feet long, 4 feet wide, and dug 2 feet deep into the natural soil. In this were four skeletons, two lying sise by side on the bottom, the other two directly on these. The bodies were extended, heads to the northeast. One of those on the bottom was about 6 feet 4 inches long, the bones very large, the tibia had pronounced anterior curvature while the process for the attachment of muscles on the femurs were large and rugged. With this skeleton, near the neck or breast, were several copper beads, on the right side of the pelvis was a double crescent sheet of copper. The skeleton immediately under it had a similar object of the same pattern, similarly placed.

This is the frontal view of the skull from Hog Island compared to the similar Cro-Magnon skull found at Dordogne, France that was also 6 feet 4 inches tall.
Stephens Coons, wrote of the skeletal remains in The Bronze Age of Br
ition, “ The Beaker skulls as a
whole are large, long and high vaulted, what ever their shape. They form one of the rare groups in the world with a cranial length of 184 mm. And and index over 80. This peculiarity they share with the
few known brachycephalic crania of the Upper Palaeolithic” The only other known people with this
“rare” head type were the Allegewi.
Comparing skull types of the Beaker People of the British Isles that were a combination of Corded
People, Dinaric and Borreby Cro-Magnon,with those of the Allegewi, shows some striking similarities.
Both of which show more affinities towards Upper Paleolithic Cro-Magnon than to modern skulls with
protruding brow ridges, thick skull wall and large mandibles, in addition to the large size of the skeletal
remains.

The earliest burial mounds in the Ohio Valley were more distinctive Allegewi, but this isolation was
short lived. As the Shell Mound People began to move into the interior they adopted many of the
Allegewi burial and religious traits. In the Great Lakes region, the Glacial Kame people also became
very Allegewi-like. By about 200 A.D. their was such a degree of intermarrying between these groups,
that it is more accurate to call the mounds and earthworks in the Ohio Valley, the Allegewi Hopewell.
The greatest numbers of giants are found near the geometric earthworks in the Ohio Valley that
include the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. There also numerous large skeletons
found within burial mounds, to the north, in the Great Lakes region.
Large skeletons endowed with a double set of teeth occurs in some burial mounds, but not to the
extent that were discovered in sub surface burials where no mound was present.
Several of the accounts of skulls exhibiting a double row of teeth that were found in Ohio, occur north
of the greatest concentrations of Allegewi mounds. The locations of this type of physical abnormality is
most prominent along the sea and within the Great Lakes drainage. The occurrences along the
Mississippi River is evidence of the Hunters and Fishers were moving into the Midwest. The burial
mound at Fair Play, Louisianna contained skulls that exhibited all of the traits of archaic type skulls
including having an occipital bun and a double row of teeth.

The Mounds of Lousiana by Prof. George Beyer
The Larto Group
On the morning of my arrival at Fair Play Landing, I found quite a number of gentlemen ready to accompany me to the mounds. These were nearly ten miles distant, and situated on the banks of a horseshoe-shaped Lake Larto. The road led for some distance along Black river, then out across country to the head of the lake, but ended shortly after passing the mounds.
In the preceding pages I have somewhat transgressed, and I must now take up my report in regard to the location and formation of the group of mounds, which has given us, not only so much material for reflection and speculation, but has brought us face to face with the facts of the aborigines of Louisiana, of which we knew but little heretofore. I found the group consisting of four mounds, situated immediately on the banks of the lake. Three of them are of about the same size, while the fourth is smaller by one-half-in every respect, with the exception of the height-which about equals that of the others, at least at the present time. The diameter of the larger mound at the base ranges from 150 and 160 feet. The height of all of them is now only between seven and eight feet. Their original height has been probably twice that much, but continued use by men and cattle has tended not only to compress the earth, but has also caused the wearing away of considerable of its material. The mounds are about 100 feet apart, and are connected by ridges, which to some extent still remain. These ridges were, I suppose, from ten to fifteen feet wide at their base, but only about three or feet high. Mounds and connecting ridges were well covered with vegetation; on nearly all fairly large trees were growing. On one of the mounds a planter had built his residence and on another his corn crib; and during overflows, that gentleman informed me, both remained high and dry. While the first larger one, coming from the direction of Black river.
The bones were lying close together, and the bodies had been buried side by side-head toward the south, feet to the north. It was practically impossible to obtain an entire skull or skeleton, and every single bone had to be cut out of the hard clay with the knife. On the left side of some of the skulls I found the fragments of vases or bowls, also a few arrowheads, and with one of the bodies a medium sized axe had been buried.
After the removal of the remains I continued the excavation, and suddenly I came upon a bed of ashes. This bed covered a small area of about four feet square, and was about an inch and a half in thickness. Examination of the ashes revealed charred catfish ribs and garfish scales, but to say whether these were the remains of sacrificial rites or of a repast would be assuming to much...While yet removing some traces of the ash bed I came upon another skeleton, and proceeding with the greatest caution I discovered two others lying close to it
In regard to their physical standard it is well conceded that the mound builders were a fairly large race generally, although by no means of such gigantic proportions as some writers would lead us to believe. From the remains of a large number of bodies which I examined at the Larto mounds, I would judge that full grown men might have averaged nearly six feet. Quite a sensation was created by the fact that part of the skull (frontal bone) was found which measured actually 7/8 of an inch in thickness. Upon further search I found other portions of the same skull of corresponding thickness. This, however, proved to be only an exceptional case, for the majority of the other skulls present no such abnormal development; but upon comparing them in this respect with so-called mound builders' skulls from other sections, an excessive thickness is noticeable.
In the same line of abnormality was the finding of one of one skull in which the dentition reached the unusual number of forty teeth, the increase consisting of eight additional incisors. The remarkable preservation of the teeth is noteworthy.
Latro skull from above showing the occipital bun at the rear of the skull. The formation of the skulls found in the Lartro mounds, as compared with those of the other localities, is highly anomalous. I have given an illustration of one which, with the exception of the facial bones is nearly perfect. The approach to the Neanderthal skull is in this instance even closer than the one Dr. Foster outlines for comparison, which, according to that author, was exhumed by Dr. Campbell from a mound opposite Dunleith, Illinois. Our Indians of to-day possess a formation of skull which can in no way compare with those under consideration.
Ironton Register, May 5, 1892,
Where Proctorville now stands was one-day part of a well-paved city, but I think the greater part of it
is now in the Ohio River. [Sic] Only a few mounds, there; one of which was near the C. Wilgus
mansion and contained a skeleton of a very large person, with all double teeth, and sound, in a jaw
bone that would go over the jaw with the flesh on, of a large man; the common burying ground was
well filled with skeletons at a depth of about 6 feet. Part of the pavement was of boulder stone and part
of well-preserved brick.
History of
Morrow County, Ohio, Vol., I, 1911 In 1829, when the hotel was built in Chesterville, a mound nearby was made to furnish the material for the brick. In digging it away, a large human skeleton was found, but no measurements were made. It is related that the jaw bone was found to fit easily over that of a citizen of the village, who was remarkable for his large jaw. The local physicians examined the cranium and found it proportionately large, with more teeth than the white race of today. The skeleton was taken to Mansfield, and has been lost sight of entirely.
Historical Collections of Ohio, Vol., II
Huge skeletons--In Seneca township (Noble County, Ohio) was opened, in 1872, one of numerous
Indian mounds that abound in the neighborhood. This particular one was locally known as the “Bates”
mound. Upon being dug into it was found to contain a few broken pieces of earthenware, a lot of flintheads and one or two stone implements and the remains of three skeletons, whose size would indicate
they measured in life at least eight feet in height. The remarkable feature of these remains was they
had double teeth in front as well as in back of the mouth and in both upper and lower jaws. Upon
exposure to the atmosphere the skeletons soon crumbled back to mother earth.

Wonderful Discovery
Skeletons of a giant race found near Potosi
From Dubuque Times, Jan. 5.
The evidence appears to be pretty well settled that this whole western country was once inhabited by a race of beings of gigantic stature, who were not only hard working, industrious fellows, but well up in the fine arts. What their laws, institutions and code of morals consisted of, we shall never know, as printing presses and interviewing reporters were scarce in those days, but from the numerous mounds scattered over the country, which learned …illegible…tell us were the works of their hands, it is quite easy to assume that they were heavy on the dig and took much delight in wielding the spade and shovel. They would be useful fellows to have in these days of railroads and canals and its to be regretted that the race died out before the present system of internal improvements commenced.
