- Chase teams up with Jason Pentrail of Seven Ages Audio Journal to explore Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park, south of Jackson, TN. The site was a burial place for Woodland Period as well as Mississippian Period Native Americans. Leading Chase and Jason on their tour is park ranger Dedra Irwin.
Wow....didn't know about this site. I'd love to visit it in person
Jet... it is Defiantly worth a visit!! a VERY Amazing Site!! we also have episodes on other incredible sites coming soon so be sure to subscribe!!
Thanks for the great video on Pinson. I got to spend 1/2 of a day there a few years ago.I need to go back !!! Thanks
That's so awesome you got to visit!! It was very humbling and loaded with history! Thanks for watching!! History Rocks!! Wahooooooooooo!!
All I can think is how much it would suck to be the guy carrying a bunch of obsidian from the Rockies to Tennessee. 😂
I live 45 minutes from Pinson Mounds. Love the history there.
Thanks for your comment! they are always looking for Volunteers if you ever have some time on your hands!
18:35 I just saw a video about those quartz crystals they put in their rattles possess triboluminescens and make light when they're shaken or rubbed together. They literally make Cold Light. Imagine that 🤯🔥🙏🏼
Its Incredible!
Thanks for the great video on Pinson. SHARE SHARE PLEASE
Thank you for your comment!! and for asking more people to share!! we ARE VERY grateful!
Going to this site in July! Thank you for the information Chase! Looking forward to meeting you one day!
Thank you for the support!!!.....
Wahooooo!! We hope you have an awesome time exploring the mounds!! Hope to meet you someday as well my friend! History Rocks!! Wahooooooooooooo!!
Wow
thats what we said!!! WOW
I’m not sure the size of the obsidian slabs they brought there; but if they were very big, it makes me wonder what kind of equipment they used to haul them over the Rockies and through forests. Amazing
generally they were hauling finished material and not knapping large exotic material on site..... why haul a huge preform so far when you can just make what your making and cary the smaller finished item. if you have further questions feel free to reach out to the park!! they are Fantastic people and love to help people get the story of the site correct! also check out our other episodes in this series on Moundville, Poverty Point, and Spiro Mounds! also check out the Seven Ages Audio Journal Podcast, a fantastic archaeology podcast where you get up to date interviews with the men and women who are in the field trying to piece together what prehistoric north America was like! its a REALLY Great Show!! thanks for your comment!
The design around the skull rattle are the brains of the individual
How the hell do you know this ? We need to talk.
interesting idea...
Any chance the 'light house ' mound could have been cremation point for the cremated remains put into the other mounds? Had to be done somewhere. I'd think a prominent location of honor would be more likely than random place in the woods somewhere.
thats a great thought. the archaeology that was done there did not show any human remains, just wood ash.. as far as it is know, native Americans of this era did not practice cremation... but thank you for your thought!
@@ChasingHistory i would think that burned human remains in mound 28 would suggest human cremation as evidence. Is there a reason for those, yet no archeological evidence for cremation? Thanks
I see late archaic, early woodland design in some of those pyramid points. Chips came first, Then the pyramid design, then it came with notches, then rounded shank end, with veried notches.
interesting, thanks for sharing!
@@ChasingHistory I have the proof now.
The designs on the skull caps looks like designs on Widen Island incised pottery.
we are not fimiluar with that pottery and could not find any information online.... what is the spelling? their is a weeden island? is that the island?
@@ChasingHistory Weeden Island is near Tampa, Florida. And the Panhandle of Florida. Kolomoke in South West Georgia is Weeden Island type site. Sorry about the spelling.
The Weeden Island people become the Appalachee.
Tampa is a Huasteca word. Tam in Huasteca means place .
The Skull Caps were made by Mexican Pochtecas.
a lot of cultures throughout the world did similar art on skulls, but it is very unlikely that those were made by Mexican Pochtecas. thanks for sharing
There tombs!
Yes.
Is there a connection to poverty point
Not that we know of... but you can contact the park and they would be happy to answer any questions!
Perhaps the soil was a form of tribute
could have been.. that's a good thought!

I want to know what is weird and bizarre. You never explained.
everything! from the finds to reasons behinds a lot of the features on the site... its all unusual!

I also feel the mounds were developed by glaciers & the natives shoveled into it to bury their loved ones.
that didn't happen because Glaciers didn't make it that far south... please give native cultures credit for creating great monumental works!
