If you’re still in Lousiana. Head over to Monroe LA and there is a giant mound at this coordinates 2411 Pargoud Landing Monroe, LA 71201 United States. It’s literally a giant mound in the middle of the city.

I'm no longer there, but thank you for the information and I will certainly check it out next time.

Way more to the place then what is discovered so far.

[@ShaneRamseyMakesVideos]

I think so too! So many places!

[@tomkelly8827]

Wow, that is really amazing to see! Any idea why they went to so much trouble to build a mound like that? Also the name sounds strange for a world heritage site. Is that some kind of unfortunate translation to English or was it just given that name later? It seems worthy of a much better name than Poverty Point

[@ShaneRamseyMakesVideos]

That's a great question and I'm not sure we will ever have an exact answer. However, it's probably for the same reasons that the later mound building cultures did so. If you want you can check out another one of my videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3Osd3WVmpmEl7M The name of this place and many of other ancient Native American sites are made up or named after contemporary things. For example, there was a plantation a poverty point in the 19th century here, so that's what it's named after. Nothing to do with the indigenous people but we don't know what they called themselves.

I remember taking a school trip there in 7th grade

[@ShaneRamseyMakesVideos]

I'm glad some schools are taking field trips and learning this history.

[@ShaneRamseyMakesVideos]
