  • Before the first pyramid, or Stonehenge was built, a mysterious people lived in North America. They built large mounds, mostly of earth, sometimes covered in stone, and aligned them to the stars with mathematical precision. They built large cities, with walls up to 25 feet tall, and massively long, And in some of their tombs, were found giant skeletons, ranging from 6 and a half to 9 feet tall. These people dominated the landscape, and yet one day, they vanished, and no one seems to know where they went. This is the fascinating story of Indiana’s mysterious mounds, stone fortifications, and the people that built them.

    We need more levelheaded channels like this that can take history and myth and put it into perspective without blowing it out of proportion by trying to advance their own agenda.
    I would rather believe that our ancestors could build great cities without the help of extraterrestrials. And just because they believed in gods doesn't mean that gods did the work for them or taught them how to do it. Humans are ingenious and we all know that necessity is the mother of invention!
    That's very true and the evidence is scattered across the globe.

      Thank-you! I hoped to pull-together all I could, and it was a challenge! The state geological survey catalogued over 2,000 mounds / earthworks, but according to the archaeology office, that list hasn’t been verified for well over 100 years! Just by talking with local people, I know that many were plundered for hobby, to see if there were any trophies for home. “Grandpa has a stone axe on his wall,” is a common sentiment. Especially true along the Ohio River, where there were once hundreds of smaller mounds.

This website used to document some burial grounds from long before that are now no longer talked about. I have walked hundreds of fields as well and can attest this. Many mounds are still being plowed today. Everywhere in the state and every state that had tribes of Indians. This is why while searching you almost always find the artifacts on or near the hill.

Fun fact many mounds were removed to build downtown St Louis. Also when they built the new bridge into the city a few years back they found a village, pottery etc but claimed no bodies were found. Nothing was done, it was all destroyed for the bridge. I'd imagine they did find bodies and lied because they changes things federally.

      On that Rose Island I mention, there’s been a long debate that it wasn’t prehistoric people building the walls and castle, but a Welsh Prince named “Madoc”. The contention was that prehistoric people weren’t smart enough to build such things, it had to be a European. But Fort Ancient and Cahokia blows that theory away. The fact that copper armor instead of bronze was found, further supports that it was mound builders. However, history runs a tricky game. Europeans could’ve came later and added on to whatever was there. Another rabbit hole is the idea that every major European country wanted to claim America, so planted evidence and outright lies to try and establish that they were here first.

    @theautodidacticman_ Год назад +125

    I live in south west Indiana and I’ve studied these mounds for over 20 years now. You’ll notice a lot of these mounds will have a flattened top, those mounds weren’t used for sacrifice or religious purposes, they were the strongholds of the individual families that built them. There were cut down trees with spiked tops that circled the top outer flat plain of the mound as a security wall, so when you came upon one you would first initially go down into a ditch and then forced to climb a steep hill and then you would be confronted by a 30 to 40 foot wall of cut down trees mounted deep inside the mound around 20 feet, making the exposed part 40 foot basically impenetrable. They could typically fight off any intruders that wanted to cause them ill will with this stronghold. Their homes were built inside this fenced circle of trees and their homes had shafts going straight down from the center that branched off into several different rooms for food storage, weapon storage, and many other things, but they all had one thing in common, they all had a special room that once you entered, you couldn’t escape. This is where they would go in case their enemy breached the 40 foot wall and entered their home. This option was better than getting killed by your enemies and this is why you’ll hear stories of these giants unearthed from hermetically sealed rooms with several of the skeletons all in a sitting position usually around a wooden table wearing copper armor for battle. Wasn’t too long ago that a mound collapsed in Anderson Indiana and that’s exactly what they found is what I described. There were several newspaper articles on it so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find. They found a family all sitting up around a wooden table all still wearing their copper armor in case the enemy was able to breach the last line of defense. In those hermetically sealed rooms they ran out of oxygen before they come to starvation so at least they didn’t suffer long. In Evansville Indiana there’s several mounds located on private land called Angel Mounds. This is just my opinion because I can’t prove it so you investigate and come to your own conclusions about what I’m going to say about that place. The land was taken over by the Angel family and the Black family shortly after the Civil War had ended as many people that rutted for the south had their lands taken from them after the south lost and along those lines is how the two families in question obtained said lands. The black family owns a private museum/storage/collection of literary millions of artifacts that were unearthed from that land and if I’m not mistaken it’s called Black Labs or Blacks Lab located somewhere central Indiana. I heard to visit there you first must fill out a form and from what I hear almost everyone is denied entry for some reason or another, but I’ve personally talked with someone that once volunteered there a long time ago and she had stated among all the artifacts taken from that area there was a high number that had the symbol of what looked like a swatskia carved into them, or artifacts that were stained with that symbol. She said without a doubt she knows what she saw. Those two families depict Angel Mounds as the burial of average height brown Indians and they’re the ones responsible for these builds that were aligned with celestial stars and planets, and they display generic broken pottery and small flint arrowheads for the visitors. I’m sure they took over the land after these ancient giants had long parishad, but that land was just inherited to them and didn’t design or build any mound structures. Local Indians will also say that it was their land but the people before are the ones who built the structure. The video had mentioned about a brick or stone wall that was found and rebuilt, but the story I’ve always known is that stone squared walls they originally found was in the Ohio river just a mile or less away. And that stone wall was used for harvesting fish as the fish would pour over one wall and get trapped inside and the other walls allowed the water to pass through but not the fish. There’s no way of knowing when it was originally built but it had to have been during a time of record drought of a record low temperature because the river’s water level had to have been a lot lower than what it is today to work and function as it was designed. Also take note that every mound in Angel Mounds all have been excavated already. Not one stone went unturned in the 1960’s through the 1970’s from what I’ve been told, so every mound that you see just remember that mound is empty and has been reformed to what you’re seeing by modern man and machinery except for one. That’s the one shown at the 30:43 mark in the video. That has been left untouched for some reason. One last thing before I jump off here, I personally have found a undocumented serpent mound located on heavily wooded private land here in southern Indiana, so if you live in the area and this stuff is an interest maybe we can figure out a way of contact and I’ll show you the Ariel images first. And last but not least because I don’t want to chat your ear off too much I’ll leave you with this. I know where there’s a cemetery filled with giants that’s approximately 90 acres in size that’s undocumented and the body’s are all still there. Some located on private land and some located on state land. Thanks for reading and to you I say all the best!

But I remember taking trips to visit friends in Ohio and Indiana in the early 60's and driving by the Indian mounts and all we kids were told was that they were ancient Indian burial grounds. Now after yrs of studying the scriptures (BA Christian Ministries) I can see how genetics of the ancient Nephilim migration and legends of trouble the Indians of north America had with them would explain/shed some light on the realization of early, early historical evidence of giants in the lands. Any links to further study would be appreciated.

      Numerous places. I’m on the fence about whether the skeletons were 9 feet tall, or if it was genuinely a tall person, but hard to estimate from the bones that were left. We have 7 foot tall people around today, that might look like 9 foot, if they were only bones.

    Issue a correction from your video. My home town is Vincennes Indiana, I was born in 1982, and was one of thousands who sledding on the Indiana Mounds through the 80s and 90s. It was both established and well kwon that the mound was Indian Burial. First off my parents told us kids that indians were Buried here. Secondly back in the day the property own then privately had two signs that said burial mounds posted.
    My point is thousands people sledded there for decades know they were burial mounds, the difference was we weren't taking shovels and going on private treasure hunts, being respectful to the owners wish.
    Losts of great memories there in the fall they had big fires below the mounds and would host hog slaughter and roast them, and do hayrides on the history of the area, and give tours of the mounds and known history of them. Super fun.
    All I'm saying is in the end after I moved away unless people became completely stupid in Vincennes and no longer could read signs or understand the stories past down from dad and mom and Grandpa and Grandma it was well known it was a burial mound.
    P.S. as of 2000 my last year you could sled there. I also use to cut the grass for the old man who lived in the house from 89 to 95 for FREE. push mow the mounds. Dad would get off from work and help me. The old guy would give us Ice Tea and Lemonade with moon pies.

      @pamela1230 Certainly agree with taking Jesus along for the ride, I’ve been to some sketchy places! Though my impression on most of these places, is ancient people with a good building plan. A verified 6 and a half feet tall is not Biblical giant tall, I know people alive today that are taller! In ancient times and the business world today, slightly taller people are chosen to be leaders. Saul in the Old Testament, was made king because he was taller than everyone else, not because he was especially smart or a great leader. Some of the mound builder skeletons found at Evansville were tall, but not remarkably tall, and certainly not Nephilim tall. Not one 8 foot or taller skeleton exists in any museum today. I’ve even asked people for locations of these giants, but no one has an address of the museum, anywhere on the planet. Whether the giant skeletons disintegrated, or museums are hiding them in storage, is unknown.

      @AdventureswithRoger There's no way the natives told stories down the generations about giants and them being cannibalistic and it not be true. One thing that is unique about all Natives? They take pride in their tales, and legends not being completely exaggerated, and embellished. They make sure that the tales are as accurate to the past as can possibly be. That and my grandfather saw an actual giant's bones on display when he was in his 20's in Nevada. I don't remember where he said he was. Also? Kap Dwa. Baltimore, Maryland. I know a guy who took a look at this 2 headed giant that was killed off Argentina in the island of Patagonia. He said it was real. This thing is 9 feet tall. Also? The Catacombs of Malta. Research that. It's crazy.

I also heard a rumor of some red headed giant skeletal remains found around Eastern Posey and Western Vanderburgh Counties in Southwestern Indiana.

When I was 5 years old I had a Deja Vu' while watching the sun set over a mound West of where my parents house was being built. I found out there was a mound in the direction of the sunset. As I got older I explored the mound. It was near a stream and stood alone in a flat field area. It also had mature oak trees at the top. South of the mound was a large man made lake that in the winter would reflect the sun on the mound. It got leveled for condos and a tollway runs past it now. I now live 10 miles South of that area and presume another mound exists. When the tollway was to be expanded to my area, I showed up to a tollway presentation with photos I took of the mound. It caused quite a stir that day. To the tollway builders credit they barely disturbed the mound. It was all denied that it was an ancient mound even though it is along 2 waterways, one being the Des Plaines River the French used to get to Lake Michigan. The history of North America is still shrouded in mystery.

But that’s not all. If you draw a triangle on the map of our town, it’s very interesting what you see. One point is overlooked by the town hall (power) second point is a college (education) and the third to the town market (trade). And instead of having a town square ours isn’t square it’s… a triangle. And I don’t know if it is connected or not but the founder of the modern day Police Force comes from here too. Sir Robert Peel. Police were never supposed to protect us. It was to control us. The elites don’t follow the laws we have to abide by. In the US police can choose not to protect you from crime. They can just walk away and not be held accountable. It was never designed in our favour.

The blocks were cut with laser precision and they had no clue how they were transported such a great distance. There were wearing 3 of them, facing East, huddled around a fire pit within the structure. And then, the Smithsonian came...
      The Army Corps Of Engineers flooded some of these sites and turned them into man made lakes. These were in Wisconsin specifically.

    Very glad to hear the confirmation that your ‘example’ Mound is at Angel Mounds. It’s the ‘Beehive Mound’ just by the drive entrance, isn’t it?
    I also think it’s fasinating that the early European settlers appreciated the mounds as sacred sites and often put their own cemeteries close by these older places. Too unfortunate that as time passed so many of the mounds were just thought to be in the way, and a handy place to get building materials or fill dirt, like many you mentioned.
    All the best!

    im from southern indiana and we have these mounds everywhere, we have tons of hills everywhere too and this is why we are called the Rolling Hills of Indiana. I love our hills and mounds, I call them my tiny mountains. And through the years ive heardn many native indian stories about Giants and one time the chif Indian said they are the reason why the giants were erradicated from american soil, he said they were tired of the giants taking their women and children so the men would gather togther and lure the giants into caves and wait them out and when the giants would come to eat and drink they would ambush and spear the giants to death and kill them. And all through my life I've had nightmares about giants and I grew up on the 3rd biggest hill or mound who knows in my small town of maybe 1000 people. And it all makes sense. Giants are real and the evil people in charge in America hide the giants because they lead you back to God the Creator but the evil people in charge do not want you knowing our God/Creator that's why they hide the truth about giants. I had dreams about giants before I even could read or watch a movie about them. And per what the word of God KJV bible says giants will appear again in the End Times and we are in the Ends Times. The KJV bibles says the End Times will be like the days of Noah because in Noahs time there were giants they were the main reason why God flooded the earth because the giants and the fallen angels messed up human DNA and so God used Noah's family to restart humanity. The fallen angels are the fathers of the giants, they mated with human women and the women gave birth to the evil giants. The truth is always stanger than fiction.

    I live in Morgan county Indiana, and there are many mounds around here. Several years ago I lived on an old dairy farm on state road 252, between Martinsville to Morgantown. There was a mound behind this dairy farm it was used as farm land. I have to say living there was quite unsettling, at night we would here things walking on our roof that sounded like two legged , not four. My very small daughter would wake up at night crying saying there was a little man pulling on her legs. I just dismissed it as bad dreams. But now I wonder. That place had a very creepy vibe. I think they have since turned that property into a housing development. I wonder what they found if they cut into that mound?

    What a wonderful presentation. Thanks for making it. I can't imagine the amount of hours involved.
    I am an "expert" and independant researcher of ancient sites and cultures from Britain.
    There are so many similarities in the constructions and settlements in USA / Canada, that it must be more than mere coincidence.
    It is such an enormous shame that so much of the history was lost. In my experience, that is the result of ignorance from those who see their very existence as a threat to their theological narrative. In the UK we still have over 30,000 ancient burial mounds, but that is what remains of a population of at least 10 times that amount just 200 years ago. And what remains is disappearing - quickly.
    Most of our cities, and particularly churches, are built directly on top of what existed their before. The ancient sacred sites were deconstructed, and the materials used to construct modern sacred sites. Even our most famous churches, like St Pauls Cathedral in London, is built directly on top of what was once an ancient burial mound of enormous proportions.
    I wish you every success in investigating America's ancient past, and have subscribed to follow your work.

    If you are truly curious about these early civilizations.
    Read the Book of Morman.
    Translated from brass plate discovered by one Joseph Smith.
    Ironically he found this manuscript in a Stone Vault somewhere on a pyramid shaped hill, known as the hill cumorah in upstate New York.
    The book is a record of early ancients to the America's, how they traveled here and why.
    Even if you don't believe in God, the book holds an incredible amount of information.
    Thought you'd like to know.

      Interesting how when Joseph Smith found what would be called artifacts in the 1800’s, no one believed it. Why? It had never been found before, now the FACTS are dug up everywhere. However, it’s easier to say Space Aliens than God. Read the Book of Mormon for the answers.

    Listening to the native tribes and their creation stories can help us understand and decipher history that has been declared a mystery

    So interesting! I've been able to see many dozens of pyramids throughout Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. It's thrilling to know ancient cultures in North America built similar structures. Thank you :)

    The research you have put into this video is amazing!! Love it! I have heard from many sources about the Smithsonian having no record.
    Did they destroy them or are they hiding them?
    I know about the ones on Lamb, IN as I live in the area. I hope the family who owns this farm have made provisions for the future so nobody can ever disturb them. Thank you Roger for making this video and sharing it!!

      My pleasure, Rebecca! Hoping to see some privately owned sites this spring.
      I did a video a while back, focusing on the Smithsonian record keeping issue. At face value it’s fishy, because they sent a receipt to Professor Borden, on their letterhead, but there is no record of anything he sent.

      H there! It says Rebecca Law on that post. My name is Preston Law! There aren't many Law families out there! Maybe we're related! Ha ha! Glad there's still other people who care about this stuff out there. I can't seem to learn enough! God bless you Rebecca and your family!

      I heard the Smithsonian lost a lawsuit back around 2015 for collaboration with the US government to destroy thousands of giant skeletons.

      @@prestonlawii775 This is my married name. My husband’s Law side are from northern Kentucky. I love this stuff and there are so much proof of things sent to the Smithsonian that they now say they don’t have or have any record of. I appreciate Roger doing a story about this and how it has happened with local artifacts as well.

    I’m from Jeffersonville, currently living in New Albany. I’ve heard legends of Southern Indiana all my life. My father is really in to that kinda stuff, and I guess it sort of passed down to me. Keep these vids coming, it’s awesome to hear someone else re-telling these.

      I spent a little over 30 years in central Indiana, just south of Indianapolis. During that time, I only found out about those two sites by happening across an Indiana tourist guide! The others are not published anywhere, you have to find the information in county archives

    The Cahokia Mounds in Illinois drew spectators at night as they glowed purple. Unknowingly, my grandfather and I explored the area many times, not realizing it was radioactive.
