Myths of North America

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

I'm up here at the northern end of the Mississippian culture and there are a few mounds around here near the river. Nothing big or fancy though.

The Mississippian culture was a Native American civilization that flourished in what is now the Midwestern, Eastern, and Southeastern United States from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE, varying regionally. It was known for building large, earthen platform mounds, and often other shaped mounds as well.[1][2] It was composed of a series of urban settlements and satellite villages linked together by loose trading networks.[3] The largest city was Cahokia, believed to be a major religious center located in what is present-day southern Illinois.

Serpent Mound is well worth a visit if you get to southern Ohio.

Might drive up that way tomorrow.

The horse headed serpent is still alive in Abkhazia. They make the water of life. Some locals introduce their kids to them in a some sort of ritual.
