点评:We watched a video series about old civilizations in North America and one of those presented was Poverty Point. The name Poverty Point was named after the farm that used to be there. They would call their plots, Poverty Point, Last Chance, Going Broke, etc. This is a settlement dating back some 10,000 years ago and it has the largest mound in the United States at a height of 72 feet. That’s over 7 stories tall! I hiked up to the top that had a great 360-degree view of the area. Very good trail going to the top. The museum was very informative as to the culture that was there. Even though so much is unknown about the peoples that lived here, they do know that it was one of the most influential ones at the time. They had a self-guided auto tour with numbered stops with a guide to follow. That was one of the best parts. Very, very interesting place. Be sure to talk with one of the rangers as they are very passionate and have much more knowledge to give about the site. Oh, the site is about 12 miles north of I-20 so you have some backroads to travel on but it's worth it.
翻译:我们观看了一系列关于北美古老文明的视频,其中之一就是贫瘠角。贫瘠角这个名字是根据那里曾经的农场命名的。他们会把他们的地块称为贫瘠角、最后机会、破产等。这是一个可以追溯到大约 10,000 年前的定居点,它拥有美国最大的土丘,高 72 英尺。超过 7 层楼高!我徒步登上山顶,可以 360 度俯瞰该地区。通往山顶的路径非常好。博物馆非常详细地介绍了那里的文化。尽管人们对住在这里的人们知之甚少,但他们确实知道这是当时最具影响力的民族之一。他们有一个自助汽车游,有编号的站点,还有导游陪同。这是最好的部分之一。非常非常有趣的地方。一定要和其中一位护林员交谈,因为他们非常热情,并且对这个地方有更多的了解。哦,该地点距离 I-20 以北约 12 英里,所以您需要走一些小路,但这是值得的。
