I've seen Tutankhamens treasures on traveling display, yeah, was good. But the treasure beneath our feet is so extraordinary that even now,I would choose this glorious history over all the gold.. When I went to shows and saw all that art , being sold for money, insane amounts of money.brought tears never sold what I found, I would trade with other collectors,but as these are history,I can't own them,I appreciate and remember the original owners.I am a temporary steward of their skills,no more than that

Perhaps some of us are unaware that white people lied about everything. We so-called natives are called Black people now. White supremacist scholarship is a crime against humanity.

Unfortunately the Museum's been closed for about 6 months and I think it's going to be closed for 6 months longer. Make sure you check that it's open before visiting. However there is plenty to keep you busy checking out the mounds. There are miles of trails going to different Mounds throughout the old city. If you are interested in artifacts and history it's basically the Egypt of America! I live about 3 miles down the road from the mounds and pretty familiar with the area if you need just ask and I can point out the must-see areas!

When you walk the forest nearby it feels like thousands of lives have been lived in that very spot. Thousands of years have passed since they built the Mounds. Thousands of Warriors and thousands of graves exist everywhere near this area. St Louis Missouri used to be called Mound City. Because of all of the Mounds of the Dead that they erased build the city. Walking through the forest you must certainly Feel The Vibes it's worth the trip

@bigbrain2156 2 года назад

@@ChristopherRyans Thousands of sacrifice victims is more accurate. Museum personnel would say these mounds were made only 1000 yrs ago or so, But you are correct about thousands of years because the Mississippians did not build these mounds as the mainstream would have you believe. These mounds are much older.

@ChristopherRyans 2 года назад

I suspect the Mounds were built on some older remnants of another time that has been lost. People should go into museums and film while they still have the displays on public. Sometimes they take stuff down and act like it was never there at all.

Some of the kofun in Japan are built facing the Cahokia mound. It's far away, but it's a module based on the size of the solar system bodies. According to the crop circles on Chibolton, the Anunnaki came from the four moons of Jupiter and others to mine for gold on Earth. And there are clear traces of the mining of the gold mud on the seabed. Thank you for sharing the video, it will be a very good resource. 🤗✌️

@mathewwoods9111 Год назад

Grave robbers. You'd all be kinda upset to know that most of all the "artifacts" in any museum are lithia castings. The curators have the real ones in vaults. It is one thing to find one in a field or a creek. Or maybe at a construction site. It's something totally different when it's dug from sacred ground. I will never be a fan of digging graves. Nor will I advocate the same. I collect to preserve. These curators who call themselves archeological scientists, sell the real ones to private collectors and some have made off with them for their own. Awesome displays to be sure. I'd like to visit some day.

@ChristopherRyans Год назад

This subject is very near and dear to my heart as well . I feel like I'm doing a great service as I'm having an atleast a impact saving history when I'm picking these artifacts up off the ground. It keeps me up at night thinking about all of the destruction of the past inhabitants of our land. I have mixed heritage with native american blood. I feel the whisper of my ancestors the ghosts calling encouraging me to pursue the preservation of what is left.

@deeznutz3958 9 месяцев назад

Some of those stone axe heads are way too big and heavy for your average 5 foot 4 ancient native to wield, which doesn’t make sense for a stone tool for that size. But it does make sense for a giant.

@ChristopherRyans 9 месяцев назад

Interesting. Never thought of that. And the say people used to be not as big as we are on average now. Maybe they were used as digging tools. They seem like there in good condition possibly never used. When the museum opens up I will do a video on them specifically

@ChristopherRyans Год назад

Artifact show or conventions sometimes have authentication certificates they give out after examination. I also know there are legitimate sosicity who you can mail them to. Ill look up the phone number and adress out of my identification book when i get home tonight. A less reliable way but still effective before going through to much to get a certificates is ask Facebook group to take a look and they might be harsh but normally the old hunters and Flint nappers can spot the real and fake ones easily.

Does anyone know if the mounds may have been a means* of avoiding the flooding rivers near their civilization? *Spelling error

@ChristopherRyans 2 года назад

I have seen many people speculate the Mounds may have been a way of avoiding flooding. So would 3 miles away within eyesight from the Cahokia Mounds on the Bluffs carved from the rivers where my house is and I am writing this message from.. We can see the monks mound and with binoculars see people walking around on top. It appears that next to the Mounds there was thriving villages. If there was a lot of flooding The Villages would have a hard time maintaining infrastructure. We have different Mounds for different purposes it seems. Some were burial mounds and others were used to put homes of important people, tool making shops and religious infrastructure on top of them. We have found Mounds with over fifty sacrificed victims in them. The ones that are left are very few there used to be thousands and they have all been destroyed. St Louis was called Mound City because there were so many Mounds but they are all gone now. It boils down to we don't exactly know why they built them. Many people speculate that it was from a older time and they were preserving old religious sites from an older culture and that is what I believe.
