Shell Mounds and Contested Near-Myths
Further complicating the discussion are the shell middens, often mistaken for mere refuse.

As Dr. Alongo notes, these structures' crystalline composition could possess unique properties responsive to frequencies and vibrations—a tantalizing prospect that implies a deeper understanding of nature among ancient builders.
