Final Summary of the Race: The Mound Builder Nation
This minute account portrays the Mound Builder as an industrious, settled people. They tilled soil, wore cloth, built homes, kept sacred sites near lakes or rivers, and created precise surveying works at Marietta and Newark. They traded widely, used mound signaling, worshiped the sun, buried kin with belongings, and likely had organized governance, possibly a great nation, with monuments rivaling pyramids.
