at Chchen liza and the other great cities of the ancient
Yucatecan civilization. And although the cult Of the Ser
pent was not so highly developed among the Aztecs. some
Of their temples do show highly elaborated rattlesnake i'm
ages. The snake dances among the Indians Of the south
west may be a survival of the same cult.
There are further marked resemblances between the cul-
ture Of the Mound Builders and that Of the Mexican area.
Another noted American 'archaeologist. Professor War
rem K. Moorehead. of Phillips Academy. has made a list
Of them. He mentions especially the building Of fiat
topped pyramids or temple mounds. For many Of the
earhen mounds. especially in the south. have fiat tops, and
once had religious structures, probably of wood. built on
them. 1t i. worth noting that the socalled pyramids Of
the .Mayas. Azecs and other Mexican nations were not
solid stone pyramids like those of The Egyptians. but were
built of earth and covered with stone. They were really
stone-plated mounds. rather than true pyramids.
A MOTHER thing which the Mound Builders and the
~ Mexican peoples held in common was the wearing of
spool-shaped ear ornaments Of copper. In several types
of mounds. presumably built by different tribes and possibly
at widely different times. these somewhat ponderous pieces
of ;ewe!ry have been found. In Dr.. Shetrone's own par
tcular pet mounds in Ohio. of the type known as Hopewell,
these ear spools have been turned up by thousands. APP
parently everybody wore them. And ear spools Of almost
identical pattern adorn the heads in Mexican sculptures

This in brief is Dr.. Shetrone's hypothesis. 1t is set forth
with due tentatiyeness and modesty. after the fashion Of
a scientist when he has something startling to say along
toward the end of a new book which he has written and
which will be off the press in a short time.
~ course. Dr.. Shetrone's idea is bound to start an ar
~ sument. Not all Of his colleagues are going to agree
with him. at least at the outset.
That the Mound Builders in all probability had some sor!
of contact with the high civilizations to the south is believed
now by practically all students Of American antiquity. In
several mounds particularly in the southeastern states. elab-
orately worked figures in sheet copper. she'll. and other ma
terials have been found. in a workmanship that strongly
suggests the conventions of Maya and Aztec art. The
favorite subject is a fullpanoplied brave Tor possibly a
god) doing a war dance. His resalia is decidedly like that
Of some Of the figures in Mexican sculptures. and what is
even more suggestive. he holds in one hand a severed human
head, presumably the CORY trophy of an enemy. And in
addition to these lively figures of human beings. there are
other conventional designs that also bear a notable resem-
blance to the great though srotesque art Of the southern
lands.
Another suggestion that the Mound Builders and the
Mayas had a common inheritance is found in the occasional
efgy of a plumed rattlesnake discovered in the southeast.
The plumed serpent was a favortc religious emblem Of the
Mayas; it symbolized their great sun deity. Its images in

TIESE parallels in the cultures of eastern North Amer
lea and the Mexican area by no means exhaust the
list. but they are sufficient to indicate at least that the
Mound Builders and the Mexicans were in no wise
strangers to each other. The study of the details of these
similarities has occupied the lifetime of certain scientists. and
the more discoveries are made, the closer the parallels run.
But Dr.. Shetrone goes farther than to make a mere
hypothesis Of how Mexican Indian culture difused itself
northward. He goes back centuries before even the Mex
lean civilizations, and formulates a theory of whence came
the people of old Mexico and all the North American aboris-

the European invasion found them.

his own words:

they. were able-wild game, hsh. fruits, nuts, roots, and

with the primitive fire drill; of chipping flint and shaping
stone and bone. OF twisting cords and probably Of making
rude baskets. For weapons they possessed clubs, ham
merstones, the harp9on, the spear. and probably the bow

served as protection from wind and weather. Socially they
may be conceived of as possessing the rudimcnts OF govern
men,, centering in the family group.
81 F the subsequent ~dspersals and migrations of these
primitive immigrants only sufficient need be re-
counted to indicate their connection with those in
terestmg peoples who. centuries later and after generations
OF wandering, were to become the so-called Mound Build
crs. Dispersal from the first appears to have been both
to the east and to the south. Although the rugged noun
tain ranges paraleling the Pacific Coast imposed a barrier
to the eastward, certain bands were able to find their way
across in favorable localities. From these hardy adven-
turers it seems plausible to trace the historic Indian stocks
and nations of the plains and the northern portions of the
present United States and Canada. They seem to have
had but superficial connection with the mound building
peoples.
The southerIy trend of migration was more important
