Exploring the Sophistication and Origins of the Mound Builders

This chapter delves into the complexity and alignment of the geometric earthworks of the mound builders in Ohio, challenging the prevailing belief that they were primitive hunter gatherers. It discusses the cosmological understanding and planetary alignment of the ancient builders, as well as the existence of older structures beneath the Cahokia Monks mound. The chapter also explores the different cultures that emerged over time, the arrival of the Mississippian culture, and the destruction of many mound sites.
