We have a lot of "mound builder"...Neat! <br /><br />We have a lot of "mound builder" history here in the Ohio Valley too. Serpent Mound is our most famous one and after that Fort Ancient. Google away...<br /><br />Never seen one as big as the one you highlighted though.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379173150677488575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-74865795372471645532014-04-30T08:41:52.556-05:002014-04-30T08:41:52.556-05:00Madison has a lot of small burial mounds all over ...Madison has a lot of small burial mounds all over the place. Right in old neighborhoods you will see the sidewalk go around a big grassy area with a sign asking you to respect the mound. It's really something to see all of these mounds in the area and very nice that they are respected.

As a species we seem to like making similar mistakes thinking our situation is terrible unique and unparalleled.

They really are world class attractions. I suspect the Mounds suffer from not having an exotic surrounding of jungle or desert cliffs. Many mounds were lost because they were in the way of flat land farming. Nothing every exotic about a corn field in Illinois is there?<br /><br />I'm always taken by the power of the place. So much life was lived there.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-1148340658422570842014-04-29T10:14:49.338-05:002014-04-29T10:14:49.338-05:00What a really neat place to visit and spend some t...What a really neat place to visit and spend some time.
