I enjoy your research articles on the Hopewell Indians. Sometimes, I think that their culture is largely unappreciated due to their age. My hub has a sister that won’t acknowlege the existence of anything before Jesus. Many of the carbon dating of the Hopewell artifacts-er-whatever-(we can’t acknowlege carbon dating or digging here, right?) place them before Jesus.
Plus, N. America is not considered, by the intellectual world, of having anything worth acknowlegeing. After all, it all started in Africa and FLOWED from there onto the other continenets.
And, if there was something here worth serious consideration, it woulda already been found. Right?
I love the fact that some of the earliest life is being traced to North America, and Michigan in general. Why not here? Unless the landscape was a desert 2500 years ago, why couldn’t have a thriving society lived here, amongst the lush landscape?
