inI just got back from the Cahokia Mounds and the scale of that place is wild
My cousin dragged me to Poverty Point in Louisiana last year and I was not ready for it. The whole place is these massive earthworks shaped like giant bird wings, built by hand over 3,000 years ago. It made the history I learned in school feel totally wrong, like we skipped the most interesting parts. Just standing there you get this weird feeling of how much story is completely missing.
