TL;DR Summary

The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks in Ohio, a collection of eight prehistoric earthworks built around 2,000 years ago, has been added to UNESCO's World Heritage List. These earthworks are considered the most representative surviving expressions of the Hopewell culture and are believed to have been used for ceremonial and astronomical purposes. This marks the 25th US landmark to be included on the list and the first addition since the US rejoined UNESCO earlier this year. The inclusion highlights the rich cultural and natural heritage of the United States.
