Randomly went to Man Mound by Baraboo on the way back from Wisconsin Dells yesterday. This video answered so many of my questions. Thank you.

Its astounding for sure. Should we think they knew these would still be here?

[@fry285]

whats the other evidince for them being the same people, as the Bear Clan?

[@debrapaulino918]

Factors coinciding with their final years. Something else to consider 🤔 is the possibility that these were already there before those people. Is it possible to date their construction? Such is the case in Britain with its straight as rifle shots prehistoric straight tracks. The Celts and later Romans didnt make them. I think the time of Celt civilization coincided with the Copper Culture but I would have to check. The effigies in Britain also. I think these were already there. Is someone more educated about it?
