"UNESCO World Heritage Site An amazing place that tells about an ancient people group that lived in Louisiana 1500 years BC!"

"Poverty Point, qui doit son nom à une plantation du XIXe siècle proche du site, est situé dans la vallée inférieure du Mississippi, sur un étroit relief légèrement surélevé. Poverty Point est considéré comme l’un des sites Amérindiens les plus importants des Etats-Unis. C’est le site archéologique le plus grand et le plus complexe de cette époque des Etats-Unis. Il comprend 5 monticules, 6 crêtes semi-elliptiques concentriques, une esplanade centrale et les vestiges d’une chaussée. Le site a été créé par une société de chasseurs-pêcheurs-cueilleurs entre 3.700 et 3.100 av. J.-C. (datation par le carbone 14). Il s’agit d’un remarquable accomplissement dans la construction en terre en Amérique du Nord, qui n’a pas été surpassé pendant au moins 2 000 ans.

"From GRR - Centuries ago, when Stonehenge was built and Queen Nefertiti ruled Egypt, American Indians were building earthen monuments in north Louisiana. Hand by hand and basketful by basketful, men and women shaped nearly 2 million cubic yards of soil into stunning landscapes. The result was a massive 72-foot-tall mound, enormous concentric half-circles and related earthworks that dwarfed every other earthen monument site for 2,200 years. The amount of forethought and organization needed to build Poverty Point without the aid of modern instruments, domesticated animals or even wheeled carts must have been staggering. And for what reason? We still do not know, but clues are constantly being revealed. Archaeologists have much to work with, as millions of artifacts were found at the site. Domestic tools, human figurines and tons of stones from up to 800 miles away have led to speculation that Poverty Point was an ancient residential, trade and ceremonial center. More mysteries: Poverty Point was abandoned around 1100 B.C. A more recent native group added another mound in about A.D. 700, but occupied only a small fraction of the site, and only for a brief period. Aside from that, there was only intermittent human use of the site for 2,900 years, until Euroamericans settled in the area in the 1800s. After hearing a few reports of this ancient settlement, archaeologists began systematically recording the site and collecting some of its countless artifacts. In 1962, the federal government designated it a National Historic Landmark, one of the highest honors for an archaeological site in the U.S. And in 2014, the site achieved perhaps the highest honor of all: UNESCO named Poverty Point a World Heritage Site. There are only three other archaeological sites in the U.S. with that distinction."

"instagram.com This monument might have gotten its name from the 19th-century plantation built on the area, but this earthwork site itself is hundreds of years older, and its history is one that archeologists still scratch their head about. Consisting of a giant 72-foot-tall mound and enormous concentric half-circles, the earthworks are today considered a feat of engineering brilliance. That's because the site was constructed entirely by Native American hands — without the use of carts, animals, or other tools. Some estimate that it was a product of 5 million hours of labor. Though experts still have not figured out this site's exact purpose, some have deduced that it was an ancient trade and residential center. "

"Les tertres monumentaux de ce site lui ont valu d'être inscrit en 2014 au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Les Amérindiens l'utilisaient il y a plus de trois mille ans pour des cérémonies. A ce titre, l'endroit est considéré comme l'un des plus intéressants d'Amérique du Nord. Un musée retrace leur histoire dans la région. Possibilité de pique-niquer et de faire des randonnées."
