[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Ukas,

Oh great pyramid maker ... wouldst thou consider making an earthen pyramid based on those built by native Americans along the Mississippi River?

I have attached two images of Monk's Mound at the Cahokia site and I have provided a little information regarding Monk's Mound. The first image shows Monk's Mound in the background. The second image shows Monk's Mound from a second perspective. If you are interested, I would really like two separate earthen pyramids, the smaller one, like the earthen pyramid shown in the foreground of the first image, would be a city improvement. The second one of Monk's Mound would be a small or great wonder.

Here is some information about Monk's Mound:

Monk’s Mound is the largest pyramid mound ever discovered in the United States. It is about twelve miles from Saint Louis, near the Mississippi river. The Cahokia site has 200 earthen mounds total. Monk’s Mound reaches a height of 30.5 meters. It covers 16 acres, with a north-south dimension of 316.1 meters, and an east-west dimension of 240.8 meters. Monk’s Mound has a total volume of approximately 21,690,000 cubic feet. Its base and total volume is greater than that of the pyramid of Khufu, the largest in Egypt. In all the world, only the pyramids at Cholula and Teotihuacan in central Mexico surpass the Cahokia pyramid in size and total volume. Atop the mound was a large temple where a priest/theocratic leader lived and conducted important ceremonies. In later Mississippian cultures this ruler was called the ‘great sun’ and was believed to be the brother of the sun. The size and grandeur of the mound showed the power and status of the priest leader.

No other structure in the United States approached the size of the Cahokia pyramid until the building of airplane hangars, the Pentagon, and skyscrapers in the twentieth century.

Those would be a great addition to the wonder libraury Hoodoo..

Forgot to answer, I can do Cahokia but may take some time. Have stuff lined up and also we got us a dog couple days ago.

 

[HooDoo]

Ukas,

That sounds great. I understand about you having stuff lined up ... but a new dog? That reminds me of an old joke about school homework, but it probably would not make any sense in Finland.

 

[Wolfwood]

Ukas! Great wonder again! What kind of a dog is it? I'm hoping a real one and not one of those miniatures...?

@HooDoo: I guess that joke is more or less universal, so it does make sense in Finland as well...

 

[Ukas]

Is that the one about dog eating or toilet training on homeworks?

Well, she's a Rottweiler, 45 kilos or in words of Eddie Murphy talking about Brigitte Nielson... big ***** Very nice and kind dog though.

Edit: I was censored describing dog? Well, the word starts with b and ends with h and has itc in the middle.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

The anti-censor is very strict...it won't even let you say Ku****e...

The anti-censor is very strict...it won't even let you say Ku****e...

Heh, I guess it has to be when dealing with animals like us

 

[HooDoo]

Well ... I thought that it was only American school kids who were so lazy and shiftless!

BTW that is one big ass dog (testing the auto-censor).
