On April 21, 2016 Bobby Jo Manley visited the homes on the Rhoden family’s property to feed their pets. To her shock it was then that she found two bodies in one of the houses and promptly called 911. Before police arrived, she found two more dead in another home there. Bobby Jo's brother James then went and checked on their sister, Dana Rhoden's home when he found the third crime scene. When police arrived they found three more victims and By 1:26 PM, the final victim, an adult male, was found at a nearby home in Piketon. After thoroughly searching the properties, three young children, 3 years old, 6 months old, and a 4-day old were found unharmed. In total there were 7 adult victims and one 16-year old , all of whom belonged to the Rhoden family. Every single person except for one received multiple gunshot wounds to the head – and were killed execution style. Bruises were also discovered some of the victims indicating they were also beaten and may have even tried to fight back. The majority of the victims however, were murdered while sleeping in their beds and likly never even woke up beforehand. #2 Newgrange - County MeathAlso known as a "Passage Tomb," Newgrange is one of the oldest structures ever created. It's found in Ireland's Boyne Valley and thought to have been built by ancient Stone Age farmers. Newgrange is built like a mound and is about 300 feet in diameter and 45 feet high and The entire structure itself occupies an acres worth of land. On the inside, starting from the entrance is a large passage extending 60 feet towards it’s main chamber and is found to align with the rising sun during the Winter Solstice. Along the passage and on the outside are large stone slabs, 22 are found on the West side with 21 along the Eastern portion. Each rises 5 feet high and most are intricately decorated with beautiful carvings. On the outside perimeter of the mound are standing stones, 12 of which have survived but it's believed there may be as many as 35-37. These most likley were added later on instead of being built together with the original mound. The artworks found on the Newgrange "kerbstones" are some of the most intricate and beautiful examples of megalithic art ever discovered. These consists of circles, serpentine forms, spirals as well as dot-in circles. Just like Hierogliphics, no one knows for sure what they mean exactly. Some scholars believe they're merely decorative works of art while others say they have symbolic meaning specifically because some of the stones feature carvings in places where they would not normally be seen.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.
