ler totalmente Monumental Remains Of Georgia (English Edition)

Monumental Remains Of Georgia by Charles Colcock Jones offers a detailed nineteenth-century survey of Georgia's prehistoric earthworks, burial mounds, and monuments. The author describes sites in the Savannah region and in the Etowah and Oostanaula valleys, detailing moats, circular and polygonal mounds, terraces, and temple-like structures that once dominated the landscape. He portrays the mound-builders as an organized, agricultural people whose labor produced vast monuments and enduring cemeteries, and he reflects on their religious life, including idol worship and sun cults observed through temple orientations and carvings. Jones weighs competing origins for these works—especially a Mexican Toltec-Mound-Builders hypothesis—against Cherokee and other Native traditions, and he attempts to date their construction and abandonment to a period centuries before European contact. The narrative combines eyewitness description, measurements, and comparative archaeology, presenting artifacts such as shells, pottery, pipes, and tools as evidence of a highly skilled, long-standing society. The volume stands as an early American antiquarian attempt to reconstruct a vanished culture from earthworks and relics.
