Part of the problem, besides being closeminded, is disassociation. How can you identify something if you have no idea what it is? Modern people, most that is, have no idea about ancient tools, etc.
Grew up close to Serpent Mound. Fascinating place, and it took a lot of effort for the peoples that built it. They didn’t move that much earth on a whim, esp when they had more important things to do—like finding food.
Something else I’ve always wondered about—completely unrelated. If Kentucky was known to the indians that lived there as the dark and bloody ground, how big was the battle that gave it that name?
