There is just so much wrong with this.
The only energies in the mound that can be empirically shown to exist are infrared energy, absorbed from the sun, and the energies involved in chemical and molecular bonding. Each of these energies are well-understood and present in all rocks and earth. There isn’t any special energy, as yet undefined, that has been shown to exist in mounds. In this paragraph, Provod here several pseudoscientific and nonsense terms and phrases. For instance, what does “energetic degree” mean? Energy is something that can be empirically measured and simply refers to the ability to do work. There isn’t anything mystical about that. Provod implies that the shape of the mound affects the mound’s energy, but this simply isn’t the case. The only useful energy in the Serpent mound (or any other mound or megalithic structure) is infrared, which is absorbed during the day and emanated during the night.
People used to supply their body energy by the use of all kinds of megalithic structures.

The energy he won’t define is clearly orgone! The serpent’s shape is functioning as a megalithic accumulator! 🙂 (Skeptics may prefer the take here…)
Oh, Thanks! Really interesting. Greets.
I just posted a very simple post about Serpent Mound at my site you may be interested in. Please let me know if I’ve misspoken about anything since I strive to strip things down to facts when possible.
Thanks for posting a link to Mr. Provod’s work. I am visit Ohio right now and a friend called me to tell me about serpent mound. I was looking for some real information about the energetic significance of this site. It is obviously of greater worth than narrow visioned archeologists in America can comprehend, brainwashed by a system seeking to keep the true nature of reality, energy and power from the average person. Unwittingly and perhaps through a divine guidance of which your rational mind is graciously blocking your awareness, you have led me to important information and I am truly grateful.
May someday you experience worlds beyond your material senses.
In joy and wonder,
your fellow serpent traveller.
LOL.. you’re welcome for the link to Provod!
I’m curious: what was the “energetic significance” of the site? How did you measure it? And where is this “true reality” and “power” that we might share in your experience? 🙂
If nothing else, at least we’re both entertained!
Ok smarty pants! Apply your empirical science to the great pyramid at giza.
If our ‘advanced science’ can’t build it or duplicate one, than I guess pseudoscience did!
Be careful who you call a fool cuz we tend to see in others what we know of ourselves
LOL. What makes you think the Great Pyramid couldn’t be duplicated? It would be pointless and a waste of time/money/manpower, since we don’t need another one, but experimental archaeology has shown time and again that the construction methods used on the pyramids were not only feasible but easily done by Egyptians of the day. In fact, many Egyptian murals and texts give illustration and explanation of it.
Who’s more the fool? The fool, or the fool that follows him? 🙂

Thankyou cfeagans for taking the time to respond to Provod’s unclear, nonsensical prose. There is much too much of tis type of bunkum around, it is worth the effort now and again to reveal it as such.
Serpent Mound boasts an unusual number of lightning strikes, and so I suppose that throws your pseudoscience theory out. At times the whole promontory is so ionized that the hairs on your arm begin to stand up. The ground is highly faulted below because od an ancient meteor strike, and that’s why there’s extraordinary telluric current measured at Serpent Mound. You should research before you write. check out Burke and Halberg, 1995
What you’ve written is complete bunk. What is the evidence that the number of lightening strikes is “unusual?” And, by “unusual,” do you mean it gets more or less, on average, than other places. And by places, do you mean mounds, fields, craters, canyons, ridges or urbanized areas?
There is no “promontory” at the site, since this is a cliff that butts a sea or lake. But, assuming you mean the cliff on-site, what method did you use to measure ionization. Was the rock “ionized” or was the air? Were the ions negative or positive? Are you sure the “hairs standing up on your arm” weren’t simply do to fear of falling of the cliff or anxiety created in your own imagination? What methods did you use to rule these out?
In addition, what was the method by which you measured the telluric current at Serpent Mound? What makes this current more extraordinary than that of other localities? How does it compare, say, to a field 100 miles away with the same geologic strata?
Pseudoscience is so easily defeated and refuted with just smart questions. Burke’s and Halberg’s, Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty, appears to be but one of thousands of crap, crackpot books on pseudoscience.
Have you read “The Book of The Hopi” by Frank Waters…after you do lets talk…it contains no hoo-doo-voo-doo, just the facts about their mugrations…I’ll say no more…G
Thank you for taking the time to counter this pseudo-scientific thinking. It sure is a lot easier to make stuff up than to do real science. It is very difficult to undo the damage of pseudo-science, as the posts above deftly illustrate. Belief is always self-reinforcing, and more so, it seems, when threatened by simple facts.
Reality is NOT individually constructed.
Individuated reality is often delusional.
Fact: Serpent Mound was built inside the geological signature of a meteoric impact. The impact geology was plainly evident to early Anglo settlers, and hence likely known also to ancient occupants of the region whose monumental constructs demonstrate astronomical associations. The impressive energy of a cosmic impact remains apparent today in the surface geology surrounding the Serpent Mound.
i have been to the mound countless times ihave countless relics from the corn fields and creek beds they do have power trust me im sure im the only person with the mound tattoo
“i have been to the mound countless times ihave countless relics from the corn fields and creek beds they do have power trust me im sure im the only person with the mound tattoo”
What sort of “power” do these relics have? How do you measure it? Is it electrical? If you put a volt meter on them, what do you get?
Oh, how does having a tattoo of the serpent mound give you any authority? This must be you: http://goo.gl/hG4Ri
