A Million Mounds Across America and Nobody Is Talking About Them
Description
PART ONE
Dr. Greg Little has spent forty years mapping, researching, and documenting the mound builders of North America, and the number he keeps coming back to is one that most people are not prepared for: there were probably a million mounds spread across this continent, from the Aleutian Islands to Florida, from New York to California, and roughly 100,000 still exist today. George Howard sits down with him for the first of two conversations that cover the full scope of what that civilisation actually was.
The mounds range from small conical burial mounds a few feet high to platform complexes the scale of Cahokia, a walled city ten miles from Saint Louis that housed between 50,000 and 80,000 people around the year 1200 AD, was built in twenty years or less from scratch, and covered a footprint larger than the Great Pyramid. Dr. Little walks through the geometry of the earthworks and their astronomical alignments, the Path of Souls iconography connecting Orion and Cygnus across dozens of sites, and the haplogroup X question: a mitochondrial DNA signature found in the oldest mound skeletons that has no confirmed origin in Asia, and that Dr. Little believes traces back to the Denisovans moving through the Solutrean into North America from the west.
The second half of the conversation covers NAGPRA, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and Dr. Little's position on it: honest, measured, and worth hearing from someone who has been in this field since 1983 and has watched the entire arc of how that legislation has shaped, and in his view suppressed, public access to the most important archaeological record in North America.
