long ago ideas

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago." - Friedrich Nietzsche.

To conquer them again, we have to return to what Joseph and Oliver taught.

This is their map of Ohio. The black hat-like dots are mound sites. If it was redone today, the bottom half of the state would be nearly covered.
