Megalithic Serpent Effigy in New Hampshire

It's a big one!

[@SeventhSamurai72]

Excellent video, thank you for trekking out there!

[@jordankert6995]

Thanks for your comment, I love the treks, I'll be trekking and posting again this Saturday, stay tuned!

If you edit sound tracks, with descriptions into actual sound, & video tracks, then you can keep your fly netting on, & film much more, & constantly.

SERPENT EFFIGY? LOL!

[@Ppurk]

Just good old Scottish fence building, very common in northeast US.

[@fennynough6962]

Thanks, these SERPENT Walls are endless & I'm sure they had many different uses. Tortoise pens, irrigation system, sides of Dwellings, Serpent Effugies, Roads, Air conditioning, plumbing supports, Critter traps, Damm's, Maps, etc, etc.

I see the Virgin Mary in the third stone! Lol

Are used to be a surveyor in Massachusetts, we did a fair amount of work in New Hampshire. It was quite surprising that we would find stone walls in the middle of old growth forest … Meaning most likely that those trees were not there when that wall was built… So then lies the question when was that wall built? Don’t trust history it’s nothing more than his story! Got it!

[@jordankert6995]

As a surveyor I think you will find the numbers on these walls and individual rocks in the walls interesting kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OyY6F4ZrdgsKc

Wow man. Nice find. I found one very similar here in southern NH.

They needed something to do to occupy themselves as they began to work on the second jug of hooch

Just a point of constructive criticism, Jordan. Please be especially careful when you use the term "Megalithic". Ancient maybe, although I tend to believe that they are probably more like 1700's. But the term megalithic applies to massive stone works that have precision, not haphazard stone walls. Megalithic implies 1000s of years, not centuries. Stonehedge is megalithic, Cahokia is not.

[@jordankert6995]

Thanks Russel. I would recommend my video from yesterday morning showing the math behind these walls and individual boulders in them showing in more detail why I believe they are thousands of years old. After several years of looking at this area I've come to realize how many of these stones which at first glance appear half hazard are actually full of repeated motiffs.

@@jordankert6995 Yeah, I did notice the video from yesterday and obviously, we can't really get a feel for the overall magnitude of the area from just a couple of short videos. Maybe a suggestion for the future. Give us a longer video or maybe a series kind of mapping out the overall size of the area. I love the fact that I can stand on a piece of ground and be standing on 1000s of years of history and maybe never even know it. I have found indian pottery here in SC that dates from before Columbus, just laying in the middle of a horse pasture. I found Venetian trading beads from the Lewis and Clark era in a rock shop that were hanging from 25 cent cheap necklace chains. I even visited my mother's old stone school house in the hollers of WVa and it was being absorbed into the landscape after a short 50 years. It wouldn't surprise me if there are a lot more megalithic sites here in North America that have gone unnoticed. So thanks for the video. Looking forward to the series with drone footage. ;-)

[@jordankert6995]

The video I mentioned from yesterday was actually made on another viewers identical suggestion. I think you'll like it! And my buddy recommended a drone ad well, something I'm considering.

You are smoking too much wacky tobbacky. That is just an old stone wall built by the colonial settlers of New England.

[@hmgrant97]

Those colonials must’ve been jacked! Seriously tho good stuff

[@jordankert6995]

Lol

[@timkbirchico8542]

a few strong people could have made this quickly and easily.

[@jordankert6995]

The head of the serpent would weigh about 3,000 pounds at least...

[@timkbirchico8542]

@@jordankert6995 nah, just by looking at it, its about 350kg max. A strong person can deadlift 75kg easily. 6 or so people even without levers and rollers could move it with ease.. I live on my farm in the mountains and we move rocks like that with no problem.

[@timkbirchico8542]

@@jordankert6995 in fact with the right technique I could move that little rock all by my self. well, I have done similar things plenty of times, on my own.

[@wrail5205]

Stone Boat and Oxen ?

[@jordankert6995]

After work I'm going to look at what oxen are capable of pulling. Take a look at my video on the math here from yesterday I think it puts things in perspective

[@lorenzodicapo6305]

Dude, seriously? New England has rocky soil. The colonial farmers built walls out of them. Let me guess, your front walkway is a 'megalithic serpentine structure'? Please read a book

Try reading Manitou by Mavor and Dix
