What is Mounds?

Mounds tv commercials

Mounds are ancient earthworks built by indigenous peoples in North America. These remarkable structures were constructed by hand, using baskets, digging sticks, and other simple tools. Mounds were often made by piling up earth, creating a wide, flat-topped platform or a conical hill.

Mounds served a variety of purposes for ancient societies. Some mounds were used as burial sites, with tombs and other funerary structures built on top. Other mounds were used as platforms for temples, homes, or public spaces. Many mounds were also used in ceremonies and rituals, with people gathering on top to perform religious or cultural practices.

Mounds are found all over the United States, from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico. Some of the most famous mound-building societies include the Adena, Hopewell, and Mississippian cultures.

Despite the significance of mounds in American history, many have been destroyed over the years by farming, development, and looting. In recent years, however, there has been a renewed effort to preserve and protect these important cultural sites.

Today, visitors can explore many restored mounds, learning about the rich history and complex societies of the indigenous peoples who built them. From the stunning Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in Illinois to the fascinating Moundville Archaeological Park in Alabama, mounds continue to inspire and fascinate people of all ages.

While the term "mound" may be applied to historic constructions, most mounds in the United States are pre-Columbian earthworks, built by Native American peoples. Native Americans built a variety of mounds, including flat-topped pyramids or cones known as platform mounds, rounded cones, and ridge or loaf-shaped mounds.

Regardless of the particular age, form, or function of individual mounds, all had deep meaning for the people who built them. Many earthen mounds were regarded by various American Indian groups as symbols of Mother Earth, the giver of life. Such mounds thus represent the womb from which humanity had emerged.

Mounds were typically flat-topped earthen pyramids used as platforms for religious buildings, residences of leaders and priests, and locations for public rituals. In some societies, honored individuals were also buried in mounds.

The mounds served as burial, ceremonial, and historical landmarks for the ancient people. The mounds developed when layers upon layers of deceased members of the group were buried atop one another over the years. Ceremonial items and tools often accompanied the deceased when buried.

Unlike Mounds, Almond Joy is made up of milk chocolate (rather than dark chocolate) and almonds, in addition to coconut. Almond Joy has slightly fewer calories than its counterpart, but it is still not a healthy option.

Peter Paul debuted Mounds, a dark chocolate-covered coconut candy bar, in 1921 (named “Mounds” for its shape), and Almond Joy in 1946, after WWII had ended and access to rationed sugar and coconut was restored.

Since 1919, Mounds has delighted many taste buds. On the surface, this combination of dark chocolate and coconut seems like a healthier pick, but it's still just as loaded with sugar.

The "Mound Builder" cultures span the period of roughly 3500 BCE (the construction of Watson Brake) to the 16th century CE, including the Archaic period, Woodland period (Calusa culture, Adena and Hopewell cultures), and Mississippian period.

The term mound connoted raised features in both the natural and designed landscape, but in landscape-design vocabulary it usually signified an artificial hill. Both Ephraim Chambers's Cyclopaedia (1741–43) and Noah Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828) defined a mound as a bank of earth.

500 B.C. to c. 1650 A.D., the Adena, Hopewell, and Fort Ancient Native American cultures built mounds and enclosures in the Ohio River Valley for burial, religious, and, occasionally, defensive purposes. They often built their mounds on high cliffs or bluffs for dramatic effect, or in fertile river valleys.
