Indian Mounds at LSU could be world's oldest man-made structures

"Louisiana State University (LSU) has two mounds built by Native Americans on its campus. The mounds are heritage listed, regarded as being around 5-6,000 years old – older than Egypt's great pyramids. New work indicates they're almost twice that age – probably making them the oldest known human-made structures in the Americas, and possibly the oldest on Earth."

That’s stupid. There are shell deposits on the gulf coast 8k years old. Indians stacked the shells of shellfish they ate and ground penetrating radar can easily identify them. Stacking bodies = stacking shells, though the shells would last longer without preservation.

Rumor has it that they are modeled after Sacagawea‘s titties

Some way, somehow, Joe Burrow must be given credit for this!

I'm probably haunted by ancient ghosts for what i've done on those mounds

So we’re going with two mounds in BR as the oldest structures in the world

And I used to slide down them on empty beer boxes as a kid

I thought the library was the oldest man-made structure.

Neat...but some pretty low standards as to what constitutes a "structure"

You still can.
Literally every time I take my kids to LSU and we are able to we play on the Indian mounds.
It’s great fun

no doubt
There were mounds built from Ohio to the coast and there will never be a way to definativly state which is the oldest, the science is just not that accurate.
