Serpent Mound is the largest serpent effigy in the world, 1, 370 ft, varying in height from 1 to 3 ft. Based on the use of carbon dating and evidence from 1996 studies, many scholars believe that members of the Fort Ancient culture built it about 1070 CE (plus or minus 70 years). http://www.serpentmound.org/ http://arcofappalachia.org/visit/serpent-mound.html http://www.greatserpentmound.com/
