Pinson Mounds - Mound 28
Pinson Mounds - Mound 28 submitted by symbionspacesuit : Mound 28 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Artificial Mound in Madison County, Tennessee.
Mound 28 sits on the northeast side of the Pinson Mound Complex in Chickasaw country. It is a rectangular platform mound with a base of 200x210 feet and rises to a height of 13 feet. William Myer in his work here between 1916 to 1922 was the first to point out the astronomical alignments of how Saul's mound is orientated to many of the other mounds in a solstice and equinox sunrise angle. Mound 28 sits at the summer solstice sunrise angle from Saul's Mound.
