Ever notice how sophisticated the circles get as years go by?
Technology advances also and the circles get more complex.

That looks sloppy. I call it a hoax.

Having visited the Hopewell Mound Group some time ago...
I can attest to the utterly amazing group of mounds there.
They are a great example of early American Indian history.
I'm still angered over the mistreatment of ancient history by looters...
I do plan on a future visit with pictures because the Snake mound is my favorite.

Just down the river a mile or two stood at one time two large dirt man made pyramids. They were torn down around the time on the steam shovel.....for the top soil. There is also some other earth works typical of mound building culture. As well there are several hillforts, many mounds still standing around the area.
An old farmer I knew, that lived near there told me of finding unexplainable clearings in the corn when he would harvest over the years. They ranged in size from 10 to 20 feet and were always just round circles, nothing fancy.

Could be I guess. I can't buy that it's all a hoax when its been going on for so long and so widespread. What purpose would these hoaxers serve? What do they get out of it by keeping it going?
