Hello USM, thought I would get in the groove again as Kronk laid out his newest poetry post. The past few years I have been in a relationship with a Choctaw-Apache woman who is a medicine woman for her tribe but we also share our love of Christ. We are both big history researchers for various reasons, hers for Federal recognition of her tribe and me because it is one of my passions.
The subject of this post has to do with the mound building culture that existed in North Central to Southeast United States, There is even a National and State Monuments and Parks dedicated to this culture such as;
Effigy Mounds National Monument Iowa: http://www.nps.gov/efmo/index.htm
Illinois: Cahokia Mounds: http://www.cahokiamounds.org/

Here is the mounds built by Scarlett's people: http://www.visitcaddomounds.com/index.aspx?page=2
Here are a series of photographs that span from State to State of mounds that still exist today: http://www.donburmeister.com/IndianMounds.html
This is a fascinating subject that leads to much more intriguing finds in the field of human giant bone recovery. There is a whole lot of unusual activity by Smithsonian to show that evidence proving the existience of Giants has been systematiclly removed but that is for another post.
I would like to hear anybody's thoughts on this area of research. The evidence supports a massive civilization that occupied the area with a connection with the earth that Europeans looked at as simple minded was really highly advanced. They just didn't use guns, germs and steel to conquer the world as Jared Diamonds book reveals.
