The Mound Builder Myth — a lost white tribe in America?

<p>That&rsquo;s quite a mouth full, and I have no idea what Kiera Knightley&rsquo;s characters from the 2004 King Arthur movie have to do with any of this. Then, to be generous, the article is a copy past from a book called &ldquo;<a href="https://books.google.se/books?id=YjUTAAAAYAAJ&amp;hl=sv" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">History of Fayette County, West Virginia</a>,&rdquo; published in 1926. This is from a chapter written by&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Nelson_Page" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Captain William Page</a>, who claims to have spoken with one of the first white colonizers in Kanawha Valley in 1877, then an old man. This man then claimed to have spoken with a medicine man as a boy who told him that the Native Americans in the area didn&rsquo;t build the mounds and the area was settled by &ldquo;white fierce warriors.&rdquo; But we&rsquo;re never given the tribe, and Captain Page then describes some skeletons found with the racial science of the time. Claiming them to be white Europeans and connecting these burials to the mounds. Since pictures of these remains were not included, we can&rsquo;t go into more detail here. But this is the extent of the evidence offered by the author. Neither is this story repeated in the earlier works about the area, such as &ldquo;<a href="https://ia600608.us.archive.org/35/items/historyofgreatka01madi/historyofgreatka01madi.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">The History of Kanawha Valley</a>&rdquo; from 1891.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@diggingupancientaliens/the-mound-builder-myth-a-lost-white-tribe-in-a-54cac276231a"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
