TODD KLEIN:

I'm not sure I understand your claim that no Native American 
(why can't we call them Indians, technically improper though 
that may be?  Indians refer to themselves as Indians.)monuments 
like Stonehenge are documented.  Stonehenge itself isn't 
documented, it's just there.  To this day no one really knows 
its true origin.

There are plenty of Indian mounds to testify to ancient North 
American peoples'hard work moving the scenery around to suit 
themselves.  Living in Kentucky, I've had the opportunity to see 
lots of these earthworks thorughout the South and the Midwest.  
The tallest mound is in Illinois about 30 miles east of St. 
Louis, MO, and it's about 100 feet high.  The mound builders 
were active in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama, Missouri, 
Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, and several other states.

Great Serpent Mound in Chillicothe, OH stretches in the shape of 
 a huge snake for   mile.  It compares favourably to the great 
chalk cutouts in England for only been visible in its entirety 
from the air.

The Mound Builders, or their leavings, are great fodder for 
comic stories, but haven't really been touched as far as I know.
