TN the Southeastern States have been found
pottery and shell objects decorated with rat
tlesnakes wearing horns feathers on their
heads. Now there were snakes aplenty in the
woodland of the North. but to represent this
particular kind of snake with this unusual
headdress implies almost surely that the
thought was borrowed from Mexico, where the
Feathered Serpent was a favorite deity. The
great city of Chichen TIA in Yucatan was
itself dedicated to the Feathered Serpent
In Ohio there are two strange earthen
mounds which stretch in winding pattern to
form great snakes. and these unique mounds
are sometimes cited as showing that serpent
worship spread northward from Mexico. AMI
NAL forms are represented by earthen mounds
elsewhere in the United States, but never a
serpent.
There is a link between Mexico and the
States still more fundamental. Mr.. Collins sug-
gestS, and that is the mounds themselves.
Through two-thirds of the United States are
scattered thousands of earthen hills piled up
many centuries ago by Indians as burial hills
for honored dead, or as high foundations for
wooden temples or lookouts. Natural hills
would not do The mounds were built in
chosen spots, and were the religious and cere-
monial centers of settlements.
OF course the mound building idea was not
solely American invention Mounds
were raised by early tribes in other distant
