Nice parallels to Eve & the Serpent/Satan.
I’m very familiar with the mound and visit there frequently and drive by weekly. I’m afraid that the researchers might be imposing a western theological interpretation upon an analysis.
We get all kinds of wingnuts visiting the mound...solstices, drummings, spirit callings, covens, you name it.
No reason to think educated people also aren’t prone to hyperventilation, too.
I see the same basic elements.
