In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of Indian history and the significance of ancient burial mounds found in the USA. The mounds are not just burial sites, but also reflect a belief system and observe astronomical events. The conversation includes a link to a Native American creation myth for further reading.

I found it interesting to note that, that only some of the mounds found {USA} have remains buried inside. They are much more than ancient burial sites. They are stories and reflections of a whole belief system. Many of the mound alignments appear to observe the solstices and equinoxes as well as other astronomical phenomena.
The mounds I enjoy visiting the most are in Wisconsin and Ohio.
