Any of y'all remember when they had the graves uncovered in the main building ? You could walk in and look at them .I understand that they built the floor over them now

Saw em a bunch of times, current museum isn't near as cool as the old one.

That's rite ,I carried my kids a while back and told them about the graves they could look at ,I didn't realize that they where covered up .They where upset because they wanted to see bones.last time I was there was late 70s or early 80s

Yup, The graves that you saw were plastic skeletons. But it was covered up cause that is very disrespectful to Native Americans. Would you think its cool to show off your grandparents skeletons in their final resting place?

Has anyone heard of any ancient Hebrew writing being found in those mounds

None of anything like that has been found in any of those mounds.

I've read where they have been found all across the US but nothing in Moundville. Was just curious if anyone had any info whether or not it had been.

I went to a week summer camp around 1963, seems the real bones were visible then.

No Hebrew like writing before European Contact has been legitimately discovered anywhere in the America's.

Those were plaster, the real one's were excavated and the early display was made for the general public.

I thought I was looking at real bones also ,it may have been around 1975 not sure

Most folks did think they were looking at the real thing, they were plaster or plastic. I think they even tried paper-mache' but the humidity got that ruint.

So what happened to the real bones?Have any of the other mounds been dug into?

Try this and let me know what you think

Old scientist knowing what's best for humanity. Heaven help them if they are wrong. We all lose.

I can throw a rock and hit the mounds from my house. Right across the highway from me. The riverbanks behind the park are heavily shored up with rock. I was told it was to protect the burial sites there. I remember being in elementary school and taking a field trip there and looking at the "bones" or fake bones.

I normally see eye to eye with you on stuff Skinny but I'd say it's no more disrespectful to be looking at FAKE bones than it is to actually dig them up.

We dont like to dig them up and only excavate burials when we absolutely have to. Back then folks didnt think about the disrespectful nature of digging up burials, we do now.

A friend of mine who has long been deceased, dug in moundsville, somewhere around the 1940's. I believe he is credited with being one of the founders. His collection was unreal. Obviously this was before any laws were implemented to prevent digging.

I hope my bones are placed on public display one day. They could highlight the 22 broken ones and explain the effect that Evil Kenevil had on young boys in the 70s.
My body can serve as a warning to other young amateur daredevils.
