It seems obvious that there is SOMETHING on that mound in Georgia, and it has nothing to do with little green or grey people with slanty eyes illegally immigrating from other planets.<br /><br />I don't know anything about the Mississippian Culture. Did they build structures similar to the Maya (that most people think of when they here the term) approximately 1100 years ago?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988819177523345400.post-42733906340234048052011-12-31T11:24:06.242-06:002011-12-31T11:24:06.242-06:00I'm perfectly willing to believe that a site w...I'm perfectly willing to believe that a site was found in Georgia, but it seems much more likely that it belonged to the Mississippian culture rather than the Mayans.

What's more, they were known for building stepped pyramids that at first glance look very much like Mayan structures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988819177523345400.post-34524157347683432262011-12-27T15:13:34.486-06:002011-12-27T15:13:34.486-06:00The whole thing is bunk and Mark Williams is very ...The whole thing is bunk and Mark Williams is very well respected in our field.
