Theory second mound builders With due respect to Arthur
Montague, I am only using this
article as a reference to my greater understanding work. No copy write infringement more a reference
to the work I am doing. Only the article boxed is his writing everything
else on this page is my writing. I wanted to give you a
glimpse into the world in which you are very familiar, the world where the
symbolic cultures do not exist and the evidence they left behind that was not
destroyed builds a picture of confusion and frustration. Because the answer
simple does not make sense. I write this with the knowledge
that my theories are interesting and based on the knowdgle that I found the language
first but had no idea the full extent of the world in which I had taken a
giant leap into. One of the things
which caught my attention the most about all this stuff was that even though there
are thousands of points of evidence, and thousands of points of missing keys
to the evidence destroyed bragged about my conquest tribes. No one had put the pieces together. Individualy those pieces are nothing by
themselves they prove nothing other then a bunch of junk that is too old to
truly understand what it was or where it came from. Put together the
pieces build a puzzle of profound knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and organization
of a people who knew how to live there lives.
Under at times the worst conditions imaginable. The thing which
brought my attention to a head the fastest in the mound builders was that in The reason the mounds
builders sometimes used them to burry and sometimes not is which culture
build and occupied the land, was it the first mound builders the Nordics, or
was it the second the Aztecs. We are
all well aware of the Aztecs and there rituals. The

As European cultures spread west across the Alleghenies into the Most cultures throughout recorded history have attached great
importance to the ritualizing of death and dying. Much of what we know of
some cultures has been found only in ancient tombs. The Adena, Over the years, since the discovery of the first mounds, many
theories were advanced as to their origins. Variously, the mounds were
attributed to the survivors of Noahs flood; survivors of Atlantis; one of
the ten exiled tribes of Hebrews, most often Gads; to Greeks and/or
Egyptians; and to Mayans. None of these theories has stood the test of
serious contemporary research. Moreover, many have been discounted because, at the time the
theories were advanced, they simply served politico-religious
self-interests of their propounders, not least being to justify
displacement of native Americans from their traditional land. The earliest discovered mounds date back to approximately 1000 B.C;
however, one anthropologist believes mounds may have been extant as early
as 3000 B.C. These are considered evidence of the Adena culture, located primarily
in Researchers have suggested that mound building was simultaneous with
agricultural development and its stationary life style. Agricultural development
may have been a significant accelerant for later mound builders but almost
no evidence has been found to suggest that the people of the Adena culture
were other than hunters and gatherers. For these, more likely, returning to
the same locales of abundant food year after year resulted in the degree of
permanence required to construct their mounds. The The latter is famous for Monks Mound, located in The The Mississipian culture reached fruition in the lower Members of De Sotos expedition, beginning in Mound building extended from Doubtless, as with other cultures worldwide, mound building began
for burial purposes with ritualistic significances developing around the
sites. Other mounds known as effigy mounds, notably the one quarter mile
long Adena Serpent Mound in Most of the history of the mound builders has been lost, many of
their artifacts destroyed, their oral history distorted by time and
re-telling. The evidence remaining suggests the social organization and
cultural strength of a sophisticated civilization in the western hemisphere
far predating the arrival of Europeans. |
