Surely it does inform us that there was far, far more there long ago, than has been acknowledged yet. The whole question of the Mound Builders in that region is looking far, far more complex, more involved, more fascinating than was ever realized, all of it deserving enormous respect and interest as more people find out about it.

No doubt far more people lived in this region than anyone has recognized.

For years I have believed archeologists and anthropologists have always nearly ignored what has happened throughout the Americas before the Europeans invaded, destroyed, and possessed as if it had simply been waiting for them to claim, the "New World" as they viewed it: an empty slate.

Really need to keep a close eye on what will be coming from this region from future study, which is owned to all of us, most especially the First People!

Thanks for mentioning that astonishing structure. I saw in your shared Wiki that there are two others, in Canada, and Scotland. Amazing!!!!!
