The tallest mound that was recently found in the Amazon was also roughly 72 feet high. I wonder if there’s some practical reason for that?

Monk’s Mound at Cahokia reframed my scale mindset. With the full mound in camera view, a person walking at the base is hard to see. The St Louis Arch is visible from the top platform. It left me wondering where they got all the earth to build it.

Absolutely massive in person

When I went there, I thought I would be smart and take a shortcut, on a hiking trail. ended up walking a couple of miles, longer than I thought. Then I climbed Sauls mound I should have done it the other way.

There are several trails at {inson and the Johnston site is about 1.5 miles away, although not really accessible.

The size, scope and complexity of the various mounds is astounding Greg, thanks for taking the time to share!

Thank you for sharing!

There's a big one close to Crystal Springs Florida. So unknown to me and was amazing.

There are mounds in Nacadoches, Texas. Not near as big but the Caddos were supposedly a remnant of the Mound Cultures.
