“The falcon warrior or "birdman" is a common motif in Mississippian culture. This burial clearly had powerful iconographic significance. In addition, a cache of sophisticated, finely worked arrowheads in a variety of different styles and materials was found near the grave of this important man. Separated into four types, each from a different geographical region, the arrowheads demonstrated Cahokia's extensive trade links in North America.
Archeologists recovered more than 250 other skeletons from Mound 72. Scholars believe almost 62% of these were sacrificial victims, based on signs of ritual execution, method of burial, and other factors. The skeletons include:
• Four young males, missing their hands and skulls
• A mass grave of more than 50 women around 21 years old, with the bodies arranged in two layers separated by matting
• A mass burial containing 40 men and women who appear to have been violently killed, some of these may have been buried alive: "From the vertical position of some of the fingers, which appear to have been digging in the sand, it is apparent that not all of the victims were dead when they were interred – that some had been trying to pull themselves out of the mass of bodies.”
The relationship of these burials to the central burial is unclear. They were unlikely to have all deposited at the same time. Wood in several parts of the mound has been radiocarbon-dated to between 950 and 1000 CE.
Excavations have indicated that Mound 72 was not constructed as a single mound, but rather as a series of smaller mounds. These mounds were reshaped and covered over to give Mound 72 its final ridge-top shape.”
>> When and mostly WHY were these people killed this way? Human sacrifice seemed to have taken place here, but as said, this was not done from the get go, but done at a later period and the mound was reshaped from the original one. See how you can identify burials with remains of human sacrifice in them? Now compare what we have here with what we have in Phoenicia: oops! We haven’t found a single grave like this one is Phoenicia. Then please compare what we have here with the graveyard of Carthage. Once again: oops! The cases are very different. See what I mean anons?
What I think happened is that at some point in time, after the founding of this site by the ThunderBirds, probably MANY generations later, the Evil Clan infiltrated instead of invading, and slowly took over and they replaced the cult of the Light by (((their))) disgusting cult. There is no way the ThunderBirds would accept humans to be sacrificed this way, NO WAY! This is not just my belief, but this is also supported by what was said about the Mound. The last 2 sentence are extremely important because they are proof indicating that this was added later on = by younger generation or by someone else which practiced human sacrifice and it was not part of the original site built by the ThunderBirds.
When I think about it, I’m not that surprised to find out this was added later on by (((them))) taking over this site, because (((they))) did the same thing to all the sites initially built by the Light Clans/warriors. And now I understand even more why the Bloodlines were interested in this site: it’s not just because this site was built by the Light, but because (((their))) ancient clan members desecrated this site and practiced human sacrifice here. It’s even making more sense now why this Mound was given the number of 72 by modern day archaeologists.
