    Thanks Tony! Sorry about the cheesy Garage Band music. I would prefer to use something authentic, but I didn't want to rip off music that doesn't belong to me... I'll check out the book. Tim

    Nice video and something I never saw before. To learn more about the native American cultures of the American midwest and central/south america, read the book called "1491- New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" by Charles C. Mann"

Effigy Mounds National Monument is located in North East Iowa along the banks of the Mississippi River. In the centuries before Columbus arrived from Europe, a mysterious native culture built thousands of dirt mounds across the Upper Midwestern Untied States. Often, these mounds took the shape of animals; birds, bears, etc. Effigy Mounds National Monument features 31 separate mounds. From the ground, they look like ordinary dirt mounds. From the air, the mounds reveal their true artistry. Very little is known about these mound building cultures. The people who built them left few clues about themselves. www.frakesproductions.com
