America's Ancient Pyramids Of Paleoamericans Of Louisiana
Poverty Point (French: Pointe de Pauvreté) is a prehistoric earthworks of the Poverty Point culture, now a historic monument and World Heritage Site located in the Southern United States. It is 15.5 miles (24.9 km) from the current Mississippi River, and situated on the edge of Maçon Ridge, near the village of Epps in West Carroll Parish in northeastern Louisiana.
Directions:
From I-20, take the Delhi exit and travel north onto LA 17, turn east on LA 134 and north onto LA 577.
Poverty Point comprises several earthworks and mounds built between 1800 and 700 BCE, during the Archaic period in the Americas by a group of Native Americans of the Poverty Point culture. The culture extended 100 miles (160 km) across the Mississippi Delta. The original purposes of Poverty Point have not been determined by archaeologists, although they have proposed various possibilities including that it was: a settlement, a trading center, and/or a ceremonial religious complex.
The 910-acre (1.42 sq mi; 3.68 km2) site, which has been described as the largest and most complex Late Archaic earthwork occupation and ceremonial site yet found in North America is a registered National Monument. The monument was brought to the attention of archaeologists in the early 20th century, when it was given the name of Poverty Point after a nearby plantation. Since then, various excavations have taken place at the site.

8 Unbelievable AMERICAN Archaeological Discoveries
From a mysterious stone chamber cave to these incredible “serpent mounds”, here are 8 Unbelievable Archaeological Discoveries in America
8. Lake Winnipesaukee Mystery Stone
Located in New Hampshire, Lake Winnipesaukee covers over sixty nine square miles of land, making it the largest lake in the entire state. Popular with boaters, the lake’s shores provide quite a fun tourist destination due to their scenic views and ease of access. In 1872, a large, egg shaped stone was discovered by a crew working on a fence near the lake’s shore just outside of Meredith, New Hampshire. The discovery was credited to the man who hired the workers, Seneca Ladd, who passed the stone on to his daughter upon his death. Mrs. Frances Ladd Coe donated the weird artifact shortly thereafter, gifting it to the New Hampshire Historical Society in 1927. This is basically the extent of what we know about the stone’s origin. It is speculated that the artifact was perhaps a peace treaty between two tribes of natives. Holes drilled in the stone are believed to have been made using a 19th or 20th century tool, making it possible the artifact is actually a fraud, though historians are unsure.
7. The Dare Stone
The disappearance of the Roanoke Colony is one of America’s greatest mysteries of all time. Called the “lost colony”, the one hundred settlers of Roanoke disappeared during the harsh winter of 1590. The only indicators of the settlers existence were the abandoned town and the words “Croatoan” and “Cro” carved into wooden structures. In the centuries following, little has been found to shed any light at all on the fate of those settlers, though many believe they attempted to escape the area for an unknown reason and perished on their way to the nearby Harper’s Island, which was, at the time, known as Croatoan Island. In 1937, a California man driving through North Carolina discovered a twenty one pound rock covered in bizarre etchings. After being examined by the Brenau University in Gainesville, Georgia, researchers believe that the stone was a sort of letter from settler Eleanor White Dare to her father, John White, the governor of the colony who had returned to England in search of supplies for the struggling town. Upon his return, he discovered the entirety of the group gone, including his daughter and granddaughter. Rough deciperings of the stone has caused a new idea to form, that Native Americans killed all but seven of the colonists, who were taken hostage, though there is still much disagreement on the validity of the stone itself. An advanced study is planned to solve the debate once and for all.
6. The Gault Site
Discovered just north of Austin, Texas, the Gault site has changed our understanding of ancient American history entirely. For years we believed that the Clovis culture was the first to form on the continent; artifact findings backed this theory thoroughly. Discovered in 2002, the Gault site contains tools and human tooth fragments that date back to be over 16,700 years old, placing them at a full three thousand years older than the oldest Clovis findings. The cache contains over ninety individual stone tools, some of which are quite advanced for their time. Many of the oldest tools discovered on the site were even made using entirely different methods than those of the Clovis! The site dig is still ongoing with new discoveries being found semi-regularly.
5. Poverty Point
Located near the village of Epps in West Carroll Parish, Louisiana, Poverty Point is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Northeast Louisiana, or as it is affectionately called, NELA.
4. The Upton Chamber Cave
Called the “most spectacular stone chamber in New England”, the Upton Chamber Cave is a marvel of masonry. In an area packed full of stone chambers, the structure, which is located just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, stands out for a couple of reasons. First off, the structure stands out as one that was likely built under the influence of eighth century Irish monks.

SUMMARY
=======
Poverty Point State Historic Site (French: Pointe de Pauvreté; 16 WC 5) is a prehistoric earthwork constructed by the Poverty Point culture. The Poverty Point site is located in present-day northeastern Louisiana though evidence of the Poverty Point culture extends throughout much of the Southeastern United States. The culture extended 100 miles (160 km) across the Mississippi Delta and south to the Gulf Coast. The Poverty Point site has been designated as a U.S. National Monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the Southern United States, the site is 15.5 miles (24.9 km) from the current flow of the Mississippi River, and situated on the edge of Maçon Ridge, near the village of Epps in West Carroll Parish, Louisiana.
The Poverty Point site is made of earthen ridges and mounds, built between 1700 and 1100 BC (3700 - 3100 BP) during the Late Archaic period in North America. Archaeologists have proposed a variety of possible functions for the site including as a settlement, a trading center, and/or a ceremonial religious complex. Other writers have proposed pseudo-archaeological and New Age associations.
The 402-acre (163 ha) site has been described as the largest and most complex Late Archaic earthwork occupation and ceremonial site yet found in North America. The site was discovered in the modern era in the early 20th century and has been the focus of professional excavations since the 1950s . The Poverty Point earthworks are named after a nearby plantation.

SUMMARY
=======
Louisiana is a state in the Deep South region of the southeastern United States. It is the 31st most extensive and the 25th most populous of the 50 United States. Louisiana is bordered by Arkansas to the north, Mississippi to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and the state of Texas to the west. A large part of its eastern boundary is demarcated by the Mississippi River. Louisiana is the only U.S. state with political subdivisions termed parishes, which are equivalent to counties. The state's capital is Baton Rouge, and its largest city is New Orleans.
Much of the state's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as ibis and egrets. There are also many species of tree frogs, and fish such as sturgeon and paddlefish. In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape, and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of terrestrial orchids and carnivorous plants. Louisiana has more Native American tribes than any other southern state, including four that are federally recognized, ten that are state recognized, and four that have not received recognition.Some Louisiana urban environments have a multicultural, multilingual heritage, being so strongly influenced by a mixture of 18th-century French, Haitian, Spanish, Native American, and African cultures that they are considered to be exceptional in the US. Before the American purchase of the territory in 1803, present-day Louisiana State had been both a French colony and for a brief period a Spanish one. In addition, colonists imported numerous African people as slaves in the 18th century. Many came from peoples of the same region of West Africa, thus concentrating their culture. In the post-Civil War environment, Anglo-Americans increased the pressure for Anglicization, and in 1921, English was for a time made the sole language of instruction in Louisiana schools before a policy of multilingualism was revived in 1974.

In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape, and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of terrestrial orchids and carnivorous plants. Louisiana has more Native American tribes than any other southern state, including four that are federally recognized, ten that are state recognized, and four that have not received recognition.Some Louisiana urban environments have a multicultural, multilingual heritage, being so strongly influenced by a mixture of 18th-century French, Haitian, Spanish, Native American, and African cultures that they are considered to be exceptional in the US. Before the American purchase of the territory in 1803, present-day Louisiana State had been both a French colony and for a brief period a Spanish one. In addition, colonists imported numerous African people as slaves in the 18th century. Many came from peoples of the same region of West Africa, thus concentrating their culture. In the post-Civil War environment, Anglo-Americans increased the pressure for Anglicization, and in 1921, English was for a time made the sole language of instruction in Louisiana schools before a policy of multilingualism was revived in 1974. There has never been an official language in Louisiana, and the state constitution enumerates the right of the people to preserve, foster, and promote their respective historic, lingu ...

Houston and Dallas
Space City and Big D
The biggest and third biggest cities in Texas, which is impressive, because everything is bigger in Texas. To say there is a rivalry between the two iconic cities is an understatement.
They are 240 miles, or 386 km apart. About 3 and a half hour drive. And yeah, both are huge.
In fact, with around 2.4 million people, Houston is the 4th largest city in the United States. With 1.4 million people, Dallas is the 9th largest. Houston actually is the biggest city in the country by total area. I know, I know. Dallas is part of the 4th largest metro area in the country (7.6 million). I mean, it’s close to Fort Worth and Arlington. Their metro is also known as DFW, or simply The Metroplex. Houston’s metro area is 5th (7 million). And for the rest of this video, I will give you statistics based on their metros areas, unless I state otherwise, mmk?
First of all, Dallas has a lower population density.
Ok next, so apparently there are these rankings by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network that look at global cities. While it considers both Dallas and Houston global cities, Houston is ranked Alpha - and Dallas is ranked at Beta +. Have fun with that in the comments.
Houston is a short drive from the ocean. More specifically, the Gulf of Mexico or even more specifically, Galveston Bay. It’s a Gulf Coast city. Dallas is...uh...a longer drive from the ocean. It’s at the edge of the Great Plains, and you’re not going to see as many palm trees there.
Due to this, Dallas gets more tornadoes and Houston gets more hurricanes. Dallas is at the southern end of what’s known as Tornado Alley, where tornadoes are more common. Dallas has been directly hit by tornadoes multiple times in its history. Houston has been hit by hurricanes multiple times. Most recently, in 2017 Hurricane Harvey caused parts of Houston to flood. Flooding is actually a regularly occurring problem in Houston, but not in Dallas as they’ve figured out a way to tame the mighty Trinity River, for the most part. Related to this...Houston is sinking. Literally. Dallas is not.
