This is the story of a lost civilization born in the heartland of
America; of advanced peoples with an elaborate trade network that
extended over half the continent, and this was 2,000 years ago! Some
scholars now believe the overall work of the mound builders exceeds
that of the pyramids and the ancient works of Egypt. This DVD
attempts to answer the question; who were these people? DVD, color,
17 minutes in length.
This book describes the prehistoric mounds of earth found primarily in the eastern U.S. Dismissing theories of mysterious giants who built them, author Henry Clyde Shetrone explained that their purposes were defensive and ceremonial, that the mounds had been used for habitation, burial and worship. The builders were prehistoric ancestors of the native peoples of America and had been skilled artisans and engineers with successful agricultural practices and structure leadership. Learn more about this fascinating culture in this twenty-chapter book dedicated to the life and ways of these prehistoric people! Softcover; 508 pages.
Before Europeans arrived, a unique American Indian “Effigy Mound” culture developed in the upper Midwest building thousands of earthen mounds in the shape of animals across the landscape. Today, over two-hundred mounds are preserved intact here; thirty-one are effigies in the shape of bears and birds found along hiking trails offering magnificent views of the Mississippi River. Effigy Mounds National Monument preserves 31 early American Indian earthen mounds in the shape of animals. The monument preserves over 200 mounds representing almost 2000 years of mound building. This Pin has our America’s National Park Collectors Series logo for Effigy Mounds National Monument on it.
