Star Portal Alignments at the Moundville, Alabama Native American Indian Mound Complex

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 PM PDT

In a series of articles, definitive stellar alignments at the ancient Hopewell Culture (circa 200-100 B.C.) mound and earthwork sites of Portsmouth, Ohio and Marietta, Ohio were identified. Sightlines between mounds and earthen pathways to the horizon were established by these ancient Native American tribes to delineate the exact time for conducting a death ritual. The ritual was designed to aid the souls of deceased tribal members in making the death journey to the "Path of Souls." The journey was a key element in the tribal beliefs and ceremonies held by several mound building cultures. The ideas behind the mound builder's rituals involving the death journey are thought to have reached their pinnacle during the "Mississippian" culture circa A.D. 900-1400. Subsequent stellar evaluations have shown that the Mississippian site of Winterville, MS shows the same basic alignments. The idea of the Path of Souls so accepted today that the Moundville, Alabama Mounds Museum has an audiovisual program devoted to it.
