Because they are like huge graves?

Well, Mr. Seinfeld. They predate the construction of the pyramids in Egypt. So that's something.

No they aren't.

They're over 5,000 years old. Just think about that.

The LSU Campus Mounds or LSU Indian Mounds are two Native American mounds, of the Archaic Period, on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They are part of a larger, statewide system of mounds.
They were probably used for "ceremonial and marking point purposes," rather than for burial purposes. The 20 feet (6.1 m) tall mounds are thought to be more than 5,000 years old. That date would make them part of the oldest mound system in North America, Mesoamerica or South America and also means they predate the building of the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

because, dipshit, they evidence man's infatuation with the female bosom. If you don't think that's sacred, then you're either ghey, or an assman.

Geo-archaeologists believe that when the mounds were built, they were on the banks of the Mississippi River. Which means the river bank has shifted about a mile west in the last 5000 years.
The river bed would have been between somewhere between the Cox-Journalism building line and Tiger Stadium.
