@sermons_com @MLJHaynes @michaeljknowles This has been Jesus’ mass…the reenactment of his sacrifice (because there’s NO WORSHIP without sacrifice) for 1700 years. You’ve clearly never been to a Traditional Latin Mass.

The LSU Campus Mounds, located on Louisiana State University’s campus in Baton Rouge, are two Native American earthen mounds from the Archaic Period, constructed over 11,000 years ago, making them among the oldest known human-made structures in the Americas, predating the Great Pyramids of Egypt. These 20-foot-tall mounds, officially designated as 16EBR6 in the Smithsonian Trinomial, are situated along Dalrymple Drive overlooking the Mississippi River floodplain.
Key Details:
• Construction and Age: Radiocarbon dating, notably from studies led by LSU Professor Emeritus Brooks Ellwood, indicates the southern mound (Mound B) began around 11,300 years ago, with the northern mound (Mound A) starting around 8,200 years ago. Construction continued until about 6,000 years ago. Mound B was built with sediment from the area now occupied by LSU’s Hill Memorial Library, while Mound A used mud from near Tiger Stadium’s entrance, making it less stable due to its water-saturated composition.
• Purpose: Scholarly consensus suggests the mounds served ceremonial and territorial marking purposes, not burials. Core samples revealed ash layers with charred reed, cane, and microscopic mammal bone fragments (osteons), possibly from ceremonial fires or cremations, though DNA testing is restricted by Native American tribes.
• Cultural Significance: Built by hunter-gatherer societies, the mounds align with the star Arcturus, hinting at astronomical knowledge. They are part of over 800 mounds in Louisiana, many of which have been destroyed. The mounds are listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1999.
• Preservation Efforts: LSU has prioritized preservation, launching the “Save the Mounds” campaign in 2010 to address structural damage from heavy use, particularly during football game tailgates. Fencing restricts access on game days, and plans for permanent barricades, a viewing platform, and educational signage are in progress, with estimated costs of $4–5 million. Incidents like sledding in 2021 have spurred calls for better protection from groups like the LSU Native American Student Organization.
• Naming: Formerly called “LSU Indian Mounds,” the name was changed to “LSU Campus Mounds” after consultation with Louisiana’s Native Tribes, reflecting their pre-colonial origin and location-based naming conventions.
• Controversy: Some archaeologists, including LSU’s southeastern archaeologist and Louisiana State Archaeologist Chip McGimsey, question Ellwood’s 11,000-year dating, arguing that dated phytoliths and organics may be natural inclusions, not construction-related. They suggest a Middle Archaic age (5,000–7,000 years) aligns better with regional evidence, though the mounds remain among Louisiana’s oldest.
Current Status: The mounds are publicly accessible for viewing but closed to physical access to prevent damage. LSU’s commitment includes recognizing Louisiana’s Indigenous tribes, such as the Chitimacha and Coushatta, and educating visitors about their significance. A 2024 federal grant supports ongoing preservation efforts.

@latinedisce Idk about that, but learning the Latin roots would expand vocabulary and reading skills for sure! I used to teach Greek and Latin roots and affixes in my ELA class.

@RomeInTheEast I don’t blame anyone; it was God’s will for the redemption of mankind.
