Part 12/16:
He highlights Poverty Point, an ancient mound complex in Louisiana, suggesting it was an “astrological observatory” designed to mark solstices and celestial events. Hancock implies that these sites were part of a widespread, interconnected knowledge network—possibly passed between cultures—without proof of contact or cultural diffusion.
He elaborates on North American effigy mounds, including Ohio’s Serpent Mound, which he claims aligns with solstices and maybe even depicts a meteor or celestial event, proposing that it's a record of cosmic cataclysm. He links these alignments to folklore and mythology, arguing they reveal ancient memories of global destruction.
