Ohio 500 B.C.Giant's Sun Temple
June
21, 200 B.C. In the predawn darkness hundreds gather at one of the
Amorite giant's northern outposts along the St. Joseph River in
present northern Indiana. Drums beat as the priests enter the
interior platform of the henge and stokes the fires to aid the sun's
ascent. The hundreds that have assembled stand with hands
outstretched anticipating the sunrise and alignment that marks the
longest day when the sun is at its greatest strength. Today, they
will use the sun's power to drive out evil spirits, bring fertility
to the crops and prosperity to all the people. (Drawing by Joan
Butler). From, "The Encyclopedia of Ancient Giants in North America."
