Indiana's Mysterious Mounds: Legends of Advanced Civilizations and Giants

Before the first pyramid, or Stonehenge was built, a mysterious people lived in North America. They built large mounds, mostly of earth, sometimes covered in stone, and aligned them to the stars with mathematical precision. They built large cities, with walls up to 25 feet tall, and massively long, And in some of their tombs, were found giant skeletons, ranging from 6 and a half to 9 feet tall. These people dominated the landscape, and yet one day, they vanished, and no one seems to know where they went. This is the fascinating story of Indiana’s mysterious mounds, stone fortifications, and the people that built them.

We have 7 foot tall people around today, that might look like 9 foot, if they were only bones. I’ve received many reports from central and South America, but to date: no pictures or addresses, of where I can send my cousin, whom lives there.

    Issue a correction from your video. My home town is Vincennes Indiana, I was born in 1982, and was one of thousands who sledding on the Indiana Mounds through the 80s and 90s. It was both established and well kwon that the mound was Indian Burial. First off my parents told us kids that indians were Buried here. Secondly back in the day the property own then privately had two signs that said burial mounds posted. My point is thousands people sledded there for decades know they were burial mounds, the difference was we weren't taking shovels and going on private treasure hunts, being respectful to the owners wish. Losts of great memories there in the fall they had big fires below the mounds and would host hog slaughter and roast them, and do hayrides on the history of the area, and give tours of the mounds and known history of them. Super fun. All I'm saying is in the end after I moved away unless people became completely stupid in Vincennes and no longer could read signs or understand the stories past down from dad and mom and Grandpa and Grandma it was well known it was a burial mound. P.S. as of 2000 my last year you could sled there. I also use to cut the grass for the old man who lived in the house from 89 to 95 for FREE. push mow the mounds. Dad would get off from work and help me. The old guy would give us Ice Tea and Lemonade with moon pies.

    We need more levelheaded channels like this that can take history and myth and put it into perspective without blowing it out of proportion by trying to advance their own agenda. I would rather believe that our ancestors could build great cities without the help of extraterrestrials. And just because they believed in gods doesn't mean that gods did the work for them or taught them how to do it. Humans are ingenious and we all know that necessity is the mother of invention! That's very true and the evidence is scattered across the globe.

    Thank-you! I hoped to pull-together all I could, and it was a challenge! The state geological survey catalogued over 2,000 mounds / earthworks, but according to the archaeology office, that list hasn’t been verified for well over 100 years! Just by talking with local people, I know that many were plundered for hobby, to see if there were any trophies for home. “Grandpa has a stone axe on his wall,” is a common sentiment. Especially true along the Ohio River, where there were once hundreds of smaller mounds.

Many mounds are still being plowed today. Everywhere in the state and every state that had tribes of Indians. This is why while searching you almost always find the artifacts on or near the hill.

Fun fact many mounds were removed to build downtown St Louis. Also when they built the new bridge into the city a few years back they found a village, pottery etc but claimed no bodies were found. Nothing was done, it was all destroyed for the bridge. I'd imagine they did find bodies and lied because they changes things federally.

    @@JonnoPlays I made a late night error on Cahokia though. I wrote Illinois but said Ohio. 🙂 On that Rose Island I mention, there’s been a long debate that it wasn’t prehistoric people building the walls and castle, but a Welsh Prince named “Madoc”. The contention was that prehistoric people weren’t smart enough to build such things, it had to be a European. But Fort Ancient and Cahokia blows that theory away. The fact that copper armor instead of bronze was found, further supports that it was mound builders. However, history runs a tricky game. Europeans could’ve came later and added on to whatever was there. Another rabbit hole is the idea that every major European country wanted to claim America, so planted evidence and outright lies to try and establish that they were here first.

A verified 6 and a half feet tall is not Biblical giant tall, I know people alive today that are taller! In ancient times and the business world today, slightly taller people are chosen to be leaders. Saul in the Old Testament, was made king because he was taller than everyone else, not because he was especially smart or a great leader. Some of the mound builder skeletons found at Evansville were tall, but not remarkably tall, and certainly not Nephilim tall. Not one 8 foot or taller skeleton exists in any museum today. I’ve even asked people for locations of these giants, but no one has an address of the museum, anywhere on the planet. Whether the giant skeletons disintegrated, or museums are hiding them in storage, is unknown.

The little bit of research I have done about both locations is fascinating!! I thought that it was also a little coincidental having lived close to 2 major areas with a lot of significant Native American/Nephilim/Giants history that has not hit the mainstream until just very recently (and still not as popular as one would think). I also heard a rumor of some red headed giant skeletal remains found around Eastern Posey and Western Vanderburgh Counties in Southwestern Indiana. I was told that the individual who found them had quite the runaround with a couple letter agencies....

    I can’t speak for everyone, but when I say “research”, especially on these hour plus long segments, it means I spent a month on internet digging, looking for credible sources to research next, and then physically visited archives and locations where events happened. Lots of time and gas money. If people want to have an intelligent conversation about the documentary or what I found: it makes my day. If they come to the channel to troll, because they hate their life, I shadow ban their account and let them type all they want, never to be seen by anyone else.

But then I discovered the Book of Enoch The book was written in Latin .Took forever to find someone who could actually read Latin.

    Very good video. Thank you, more people need to know about the mounds. When I was 5 years old I had a Deja Vu' while watching the sun set over a mound West of where my parents house was being built. I found out there was a mound in the direction of the sunset. As I got older I explored the mound. It was near a stream and stood alone in a flat field area. It also had mature oak trees at the top. South of the mound was a large man made lake that in the winter would reflect the sun on the mound. It got leveled for condos and a tollway runs past it now. I now live 10 miles South of that area and presume another mound exists. When the tollway was to be expanded to my area, I showed up to a tollway presentation with photos I took of the mound. It caused quite a stir that day. To the tollway builders credit they barely disturbed the mound. It was all denied that it was an ancient mound even though it is along 2 waterways, one being the Des Plaines River the French used to get to Lake Michigan. The history of North America is still shrouded in mystery.

    That is crazy this was recommended to me. Just a few days ago I posted on my social media about my hometown having pyramids. They have 3 mini pyramids of a width of roughly 30ft. But that’s not all. If you draw a triangle on the map of our town, it’s very interesting what you see. One point is overlooked by the town hall (power) second point is a college (education) and the third to the town market (trade). And instead of having a town square ours isn’t square it’s… a triangle. And I don’t know if it is connected or not but the founder of the modern day Police Force comes from here too. Sir Robert Peel. Police were never supposed to protect us. It was to control us. The elites don’t follow the laws we have to abide by. In the US police can choose not to protect you from crime. They can just walk away and not be held accountable. It was never designed in our favour.

    There was a very large pyramid unearthed in Kossuth Iowa while a farmer was digging a well. It was in the papers and people were paying to see this pyramid of non native stone and very large red haired mummies. The blocks were cut with laser precision and they had no clue how they were transported such a great distance. There were wearing 3 of them, facing East, huddled around a fire pit within the structure. And then, the Smithsonian came... The Army Corps Of Engineers flooded some of these sites and turned them into man made lakes. These were in Wisconsin specifically. I can't remember the name now, but there are unusually high magnetic readings taken over these sites. This race was wiped out, then the peopling by the Europeans began in the US.

It’s the ‘Beehive Mound’ just by the drive entrance, isn’t it? I also think it’s fasinating that the early European settlers appreciated the mounds as sacred sites and often put their own cemeteries close by these older places.

    im from southern indiana and we have these mounds everywhere, we have tons of hills everywhere too and this is why we are called the Rolling Hills of Indiana. I love our hills and mounds, I call them my tiny mountains. And through the years ive heardn many native indian stories about Giants and one time the chif Indian said they are the reason why the giants were erradicated from american soil, he said they were tired of the giants taking their women and children so the men would gather togther and lure the giants into caves and wait them out and when the giants would come to eat and drink they would ambush and spear the giants to death and kill them. And all through my life I've had nightmares about giants and I grew up on the 3rd biggest hill or mound who knows in my small town of maybe 1000 people. And it all makes sense. Giants are real and the evil people in charge in America hide the giants because they lead you back to God the Creator but the evil people in charge do not want you knowing our God/Creator that's why they hide the truth about giants. I had dreams about giants before I even could read or watch a movie about them. And per what the word of God KJV bible says giants will appear again in the End Times and we are in the Ends Times. The KJV bibles says the End Times will be like the days of Noah because in Noahs time there were giants they were the main reason why God flooded the earth because the giants and the fallen angels messed up human DNA and so God used Noah's family to restart humanity. The fallen angels are the fathers of the giants, they mated with human women and the women gave birth to the evil giants. The truth is always stanger than fiction.

    I live in Morgan county Indiana, and there are many mounds around here. Several years ago I lived on an old dairy farm on state road 252, between Martinsville to Morgantown. There was a mound behind this dairy farm it was used as farm land. I have to say living there was quite unsettling, at night we would here things walking on our roof that sounded like two legged , not four. My very small daughter would wake up at night crying saying there was a little man pulling on her legs. I just dismissed it as bad dreams. But now I wonder. That place had a very creepy vibe. I think they have since turned that property into a housing development. I wonder what they found if they cut into that mound?

Some people have pillaged mounds and nothing bad ever happened to them. The mounds at both Hindostan Falls and Old Palestine: large amounts of people died after they dug up the mounds. People literally said the places were cursed, and left them as ghost towns.

    To make this one, I had to visit old library archives, as the information isn’t online. But what was more interesting, was talking to residents near the mounds. They told stories of universities coming in and taking artifacts, accidentally drilling a well that went into a cave with artifacts, farmers digging up mounds and taking artifacts to display on their walls, and some people having an uneasy feeling, as if the sites were haunted. I certainly found more than I expected!

    I used to live in Michigan. And across the street and behind my neighbors backyards was a little creek called Buck Creek. I loved walking in the woods and would follow that creek and every day going a little bit further than the day before. One day I came around a corner and just stopped because there were a lot of mounds by these railroad tracks. I did not know what they were but you could just feel in the air that they were special. I never went up to them. I never walked on them. I just would stare at them and feel that feeling. Every day I would go and stand there. And now because of your video Roger, I know what they are. Burial mounds. No wonder there was this feeling in the air. No wonder I would not go and investigate them, and walk on them. I don't believe in the paranormal at all, but this is giving me goosebumps right now. That happened when I was in my late 20's. I am in my 60's now and just finding out what those mounds were. WOW!!!
