摘要

天使丘遗址是位于印第安纳州西南部的一个大型的、设防的密西西比村庄。该遗址从大约公元1100年到公元1450年蓬勃发展,是俄亥俄河谷有记录以来最大的密西西比人定居点之一。在这篇文章中,我们使用天文数据、激光雷达图像、民族历史数据和计算机天文馆模拟来确定该地点的太阳、恒星和月球排列。特别令人感兴趣的是新发现,这些新发现表明,在夏至晚上,土丘轴线是如何朝向银河系的。在传统的东方林地信仰中,银河系是亡灵前往亡灵之地的道路。支持Angel发现的是阿拉巴马州Moundville和伊利诺伊州Cahokia的类似银河系排列。

An Archaeoastronomic Assessment of Angel Mounds, Indiana, with Commentary on Moundville, Alabama, and Cahokia, Illinois
The Angel Mounds site was a large, fortified Mississippian village located in southwestern Indiana. The site flourished from circa AD 1100 to AD 1450 and represents one of the largest recorded Mississippian settlements in the Ohio River valley. In this article, we use astronomic data, lidar imagery, ethnohistoric data, and computer planetarium simulations to identify solar, stellar, and lunar alignments at the site. Of special interest are new findings showing how mound axes are oriented to the Milky Way on the night of the summer solstice. In traditional Eastern Woodlands belief, the Milky Way was the path that souls of the dead traveled on their journey to the Land of the Dead. Supportive of the findings for Angel are similar Milky Way alignments at Moundville, Alabama, and Cahokia, Illinois.
