~Ancient Indian Temple Mound~Oelsner Mound~Port Richey, Florida~

Wallpaper Description:

This Indian Mound is all that remains of a late Weeden Island period community, probably settled about A.D.1000 and inhabited for several hundred years. Excavations conducted in 1879 by S.T. Walker for the Smithsonian Institution indicated this was a temple mound. A nearby burial mound, excavated in 1903 by Clarence B. Moore, was subsequently destroyed by developers along with other remnants of prehistoric community. This mound was preserved by it's owner, the late "Aunt" Martha Oelsner, who belived that it also contains Timuqua or Calusa Indian graves.

This is such a beautiful place. I to belive it holds graves, the energy you feel just standing next to it is amazing. This is a place I go to when I need peace to think. I took this picture on March 10, 2010.
