AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the significance of ancient mounds in the USA, emphasizing that they serve as more than just burial sites; they represent complex belief systems and cultural narratives. Many of these mounds are aligned with astronomical events, such as solstices and equinoxes, indicating their importance in Native American spirituality and cosmology. The mounds in Wisconsin and Ohio are particularly noted for their historical and cultural value. Additionally, a Native American creation myth is referenced, further illustrating the rich storytelling tradition associated with these sites.

So nice to hear from you, Woolie :smile:!
 
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.
 
I found this really interesting, a Native American creation myth.

Thread 'Aethelstan, King of the Anglo Saxons, first English King'

Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
