South Kentuckian,  August 21, 1888
     A scientist found an Indian mound, near Frankfort, Ohio, Friday, two gigantic skeletons clad in a curious armor, apparently of bronze. It covered the chest, stomach and legs, and a narrow band was around its forehead. Various devices were rudely worked on the armor. There were no shields and only two small knives. Archaeologists are puzzled at the discovery.

Exploring the Ruins of Indiana's Lost Sun Temple Henge: Photographed for the First Time

From the photo, the two henges or Sun Temples are visible along with a newly discovered smaller circle shown with the arrow.

This map was done by the 8th, 9th, and 10th Annual Reports (1876, 1877, 1878) / Indiana. Geological Survey. The northern henge was aligned to the summer solstice sunrise and the southern henge to the equinox.
Note the cut or via going to the river, this was artificially cut into the bank,

The artificial cut is still visible that leads to a wide second terrace and must have been the site of some processional up to the the sun temple complex.

Despite being plowed for years, the southern sun temple is still visible. This site is not recognized as a historic site nor preserved.  This is the first time these henges have been photographed.
