Angel Mounds




We visited Angel Mounds near Evansville yesterday and walked the 400 acre ancient village. These are pictures of the main mound where the chief lived. It is more than 600 feet long and four hundred feet wide and 45 feet tall. The village was home to 2000 people. They were an advanced civilization and disappeared about the same time the Mayans did and left no written records. Many experts believe (me included...not that I'm an expert) that the remnants became the Illini and Wabash River Tribes that are portrayed in Wa-Ba-Shik-Ki.
