Georgia

We are now in Georgia. We visited the Ocmulgee National Monument where over 1,000 years ago the Mississipian Indians lived in a village with huge mounds where their important buildings were sited. 
Earth lodges were used for ceremonies and one has been excavated. The floor is 1,000 years old but the lodge has been recreated over it.


passageway into the lodge

1,000 year old floor with eagle shaped place for chief

Track through woodland between the mounds



We saw some wildlife like deer...

..butterflies...

...but luckily not the alligators.
