The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks are gigantic earthen complexes built by American Indians 2,000 years ago and stand as masterpieces of human creative genius. They were places of ceremony connected to the cosmos by alignments to key risings and settings of the moon and sun. They reflect the achievements of Ohio's Indigenous peoples and their deep connection to the world and humanity's place in it.
