[iampeeay01]

[mh2blade]

what about kahokia?

[kozmon0t]

Those look like good places for smurfs to live

its funny how whites kill 95% of the Native Americans and then talk about how much American they are more than the so called Mexicans....

[JesusManson323]

Those are not "mounds"...those are PYRAMIDS.

* corn culture

* 4-sided temples with staircases

* astronomical alignments of temples

The influence from Ancient Mexico is so obvious.

These are not Greek temples or Chinese Pagodas. The Mississippi River was like a Superhighway for ideas and trade.

My Texas History teacher's sister re-made artifacts for a really old meuseum at the site.

yea...this WAS a nice visualization, but the music got annoying and i thought this was supposed to talk or illustrate hernando de soto. i really need a visualization for my project due tomorrow :'(

This is a very nice visualization! Is the placement of the smaller individual dwellings your "artist's conception", or are they all confirmed locations? They've done a lot of work using magnetographic technology. The larger mounds at Kincaid appear accurately placed. Enjoyed the tour. Thanks!

[LeroyMorte]

The village areas are based on archaeological investigations, but the actual placement of individual houses are not. Glad you like it, and thanks.

@LeroyMorte Those are fascinating structures and indeed nationally valuable sites, but I suppose not much is known (published) about them. I wonder if actual rebuilding efforts were conducted on these Mississippian sites.

hey big brother, can you make me some 3d stuff

[hacktik101]

are there any in tn. ?

[LeroyMorte]

go to wikipedia, and search for "List of Missisippian sites", I believe there are several publicly accessible sites, including Shiloh and Chucalissa on the west end of the state, and several more to the eastern end.

Dont forget Cahokia in Collinsville, IL, the largest earthwork in North America and Angel Mounds in Evansville, IN, which was also part of the Mississippian network.

[LeroyMorte]

I'm planning on eventually doing the Angel Site, but prolly not Cahokia. I'm trying to concentrate on lesser known sites, because the bigger sites such as Cahokia have been done by everyone else. I want to the the extent of the culture, not just it's one biggest site.l

[anusockinmydrawer]
