Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Embark on a captivating exploration of the Mississippi Valley's ancient mysteries in this book. The author delves into the enigmatic world of the Mound Builders, a vanished civilization that left behind impressive earthworks and intriguing artifacts. Unraveling the secrets of their pictographs, symbolic devices, and emblems, the author sheds light on their attempts to record their history and beliefs. This journey takes us back to the era of early European exploration, where French voyageurs like Marquette encountered these mysterious symbols and documented their awe-inspiring encounters with the Piasa, a legendary bird-like creature depicted on the bluffs. The book examines these pictographs in the context of global mythology, drawing parallels with dragon lore from various cultures. It delves into the fascinating realm of paleontology, exploring the possibility that these mythical creatures may have been inspired by real-life prehistoric reptiles. This book's exploration of pictographs and cultural comparisons offers profound insights into the Mound Builders' world view, their connection to the cosmos, and their beliefs in the afterlife. The author's meticulous examination of these remnants reveals a civilization that was far more advanced and interconnected than previously thought, leaving an indelible mark on the American landscape and challenging our understanding of the continent's ancient past.
