SciFriday: The Serpent Mound of Bashan

ONE OF THE MOST MYSTERIOUS sites on earth is even weirder than previously thought.

Less than ten years ago, Pastor Doug Van Dorn, author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, using Google Earth, spotted a strange, serpent-shaped ridge on the Golan Heights just one-quarter mile from Gilgal Refaim, a megalithic site much bigger and much older than Stonehenge. Independently of Doug, we found it again after our 2019 tour of Israel. The ridge, which is three times longer and five times higher than the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio, is covered with more than 140 megalithic tombs. And besides being a five-minute walk from Gilgal Refaim, it’s within plain view of Mount Hermon.

Who turned this site into a necropolis nearly 6,000 years ago? Why there? And is the serpent-shaped ridge the reason the land was called Bashan—“place of the serpent”?

My dream has always been to go where Jesus had been, and since I know I can't afford it, I'm glad that we have you and others who do tours there and brings them home to show others what life was like back then. Thank you. 🕊💜🙏✝️

I’ve found little about The Bulls of Bashan but always found it interesting, now it makes more sense, thanks for all you do!

Since the Prophecy Watchers' comments section is closed, let me make this comment here:

In today's PW video about The Wormwood Conspiracy, Tom Horn and Josh Peck mentioned the Apophis asteroid and its possibilities of being the prophetic Wormwood. Tom Horn also mentioned someone who works at NASA reaching out to him with information, only to request that it not be used due to confidentiality and the risk of losing employment.

Recently, NASA successfully tested the DART mission which aimed to hit an asteroid and deflect its trajectory.

What is that structure at its head? It looks like the serpent's head is being (or has been) crushed. 🤔 Is that an early Christian altar built in the perfect site to crush the head of the serpent?

This is great I love this. I myself am born in the year of the snake in 1989. I’m also born in august 23 the exact day Leo changes to Virgo. The Leo-Virgo is like Regulus ‘the Lionheart’ Jesus’ star that the Magi followed. Jesus is the Lion born from a virgin. I almost believed Jesus was born on aug 23 too just from the connection

It may sound like fun, but don't ride the snake. To the lake. The ancient lake,
The snake, he's long. Seven miles (at least) Don't ride the snake.
He's old and his skin is cold.
And he smells bad.
