Ancient Mounds Rising in Mississippi | Hattiesburg News

Deep beneath the Mississippi soil, ancient hands shaped the land into towering mounds—some 2,200 years old—at Ingomar Mounds near New Albany. Once home to a sprawling 14-mound complex across 70 acres, this sacred site hosted ceremonies and community life for centuries. Built without machines, these earthworks—including a 30-foot platform—stand as monuments to Native ingenuity and resilience. Artifacts reveal far-flung trade networks stretching across North America, proving this was a vibrant, connected civilization long before the state’s name existed. Today, protected and displayed at the Union County Heritage Museum, Ingomar invites us to touch history—not just read about it.
