Just a quick question for anyone who might know.
Has there been any archaeological evidence that either the Serpent Mounds or the mounds on Oak Island are the spoils from the original tunnel digs?
Hundreds of men in a tunneling or mining operation create huge amounts of debris during the excavation process. That debris needs to go somewhere.
The tunnels would not be back-filled with the debris that was originally excavated so they could be left open for future use, just well hidden.
The original excavated debris would be carted out of the tunnels and piled somewhere else close by.
This debris would be spread over a distance, possibly in a line, which would get bigger and longer as the tunnel grew.
The material that would be in these lines would be just tunnel debris (natural soil and rock). You would not find treasure, burials, or anything else of value in them.
The debris would be left in a manner that would blend into the existing environment, or hidden. There is no better hiding place than hiding something in plain sight. Disguise it as a monument and let everyone see. Disguise it's true purpose.
I have searched, but have not seen if this has been speculated before of not. Sorry if it has.
If this theory is correct, there would be tunnels to be found close to any other "serpent type mounds" that have been found.
Thanks for your time.
