| Great Temple Mound |
The Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park in Macon, Georgia is a prehistoric American Indian site.
American Indians first came here during the Paleo-Indian Period hunting Ice Age mammals.
Around 900 CE, the Mississippian Period began, and people constructed mounds for their elite.
The park's chief remains are major earthworks built before 1000 CE.
These include the Great Temple and other ceremonial mounds, a burial mound, and defensive trenches.

They are apex predators that will eat almost anything they can overpower, including deer and bears.
