Now, I remember neither what I said nor any specific examples, but it was eye opening to have a teacher explain how textbooks were created, why stuff is left out, and what some of it was.

My current favorite under-taught bit of history: The Battle of Athens (Georgia, not Greece).

Well, yeah, if you just pay attention to what’s in school.

The Norton Mound Group

“The Norton Mound Group is one of the best preserved Hopewellian burial centers in the country and one of the most important archaeological sites in Michigan. The site represents a fine example of the northern extension of the Hopewell culture. When first excavated in 1874 by W. L. Coffinberry under the auspices of the Kent County Scientific Institute (now the Public Museum of Grand Rapids), the site consisted of 17 mounds ranging from 30 feet in diameter and 1.5 feet in height to 100 feet in diameter and 15 feet in height. Once part of a much more extensive system of over 30 mounds which were destroyed by the expansion of the City of Grand Rapids, only 11 retain their basic form.”

(We have no idea what these people actually called themselves. “Hopewell” was the name of the guy who owned the farm upon which this stuff was discovered.)

Check out the “Mounds State Park,” in Anderson, Indiana.

They have “10 unique earthworks built by the Adena-Hopewell people.”

(This is the one that got him banned from TEDx.)

Wisconsin has multiple mounds– check Baraboo and Madison, to name 2 locations.
(Interestingly– in college, both the Geology and Anthropology departments, went on on regular yearly field-trips to Baraboo.)

That’s putting it mildly. :)
