Phene discovered a ridge in Great Britain which had the serpent shape and along the ridge were placed a line of stones which represented the spine of the serpent. In digging into the hill a cist or altar was found near where the heart of the serpent would be. There are those who think that the Dakotas migrated from the east, and that they came into the continent from the northeast and were originally from Great Britain, Scandinavia or other northern parts of Europe. Here we have a singular 44 T...he Serpent Mound. and novel confirmation of the theory. The Great Serpent in Adams County has an altar in the very center of the body* and the shai3e of the serpent cor- responds to the shape of the ridge, the effigy having been placed upon the ridge because of its resemblance to the serpent. We claim priority in the discovery of this fact.
