Mound Builders - BiblioPlan, Year 3

We are jumping into year 3 of BiblioPlan, and today we covered the north American mound building cultures. I find these folks to be totally fascinating because there is so little we know about them. They left no written word, but left gigantic earthen works and a lot of mystery. I found three videos on different mound building societies, and I thought someone might find them worth watching.

This is a little more generic, but covers a lot of ground in its short five minutes.

Lastly, there is the fascinating Serpent Mound in Ohio.
