Fort Ancient, Archaeological park in Lebanon, United States.
The prehistoric hilltop complex spans 100 acres and features 5,500 meters of earthwork walls rising 82 meters above the Little Miami River.
The indigenous Hopewell culture constructed this monumental earthwork complex between 200 BC and 400 AD using basic tools like deer shoulder blades.
The archaeological site includes an 840-square-meter museum displaying artifacts and exhibits about 1,500 years of Native American life in Ohio Valley.
Visitors can explore two miles of walking trails through the complex and access the Little Miami River from designated areas within the park.
The construction required three distinct building phases over 400 years, with workers moving soil in baskets that held up to 40 pounds each.
