The Criel Mound in West Virginia, constructed between 250-150 BC, contained 13 skeletons, with two near the top and 11 at the base, arranged in a distinctive pattern around a central, larger skeleton.

How large was the big one? We talking giant size or just a tall man?

A park bench and two rubbish bins at the top of what appears to be an ancient resting place?
It looks a bit disrespectful to me.

Also, is there a link to article about this or a wiki page?
I’m also interested to know how big time difference is there between bottom grave and top grave?
Like was there just nice add-on at the top or was it planned? If total age was 100 years then… it could be either way. Also, if there is enough money it would be nice to know dna of those people. Was it a grave for relatives or something else?
Is this unique or are there other mounds there as well? Like viking mounds usually were next to other viking mounds.

This is a “do not disturb or else you’ll release the ancient evil” tomb prison if I ever saw one. That’s a ring of powerful wizard skeletons and the mixed bones are the wizards relatives and pets and any close acquaintances just to be sure.

West Virginia’s ancient secrets are way deeper than I thought

Where is the larger skeleton?
Oh I’m dumb, I now realized what the post was saying: 10 of the bottom skeletons are arranged around the 11th larger skeleton
