An interesting topic was brought to our attention by a reader. The topic had to do with ancient mounds found in Louisiana.
With the assistance of "our friends," here's the rest of the story:
The builders of the mounds (the Mound People) existed around 7,600 years ago and began mound building around 6,300 years ago. The average height of these unknown builders of the mounds were approximately 5 feet tall. They migrated northward from South America to North America, building their mounds along the way. Note: Using Louisiana as the center (as in a circle), sites the Mound People may be found 700 miles in all land directions. Eventually, the builders of the mounds intermixed with native North Americans. (see Oldest Native Americans). The Mound People used the mounds for safety against predators.
There are accounts that credit the Celts with building mounds in North America, however, the mounds were already there when the Celts discovered them and used, added to, or adopted the mound building concept for their own purpose.
The Aztecs, Incas and Mayans are not related to the Mound People. However, they did adopt the mound concept for their civilizations.
Lastly, the southern families of Bigfoot migrated into these areas occassionally crossing paths with the Mound People, always avoiding contact.
