Ocmulgee Indian Festival

We ran into this fella at the Indian festival.  He makes his own bows, arrows, arrow heads & strings.  Then he hunts with them.  It was amazing to watch!  Ben (which was his name too) loved it.  He demonstrated how to make a fire with just a stick

 

 

 

Sitting atop the largest of several Indian mounds at this site.  Lola was our guest and we had a blast with her.  We discussed the meaning of the mounds and their purpose.  Much of it is speculation as there is no written record or oral history that made it to our century.

I believe that a Biblical worldview gives the answer.  It's found in Genesis 11 which delineates the attempted building of the tower of babel.  God confused their languages in order to dilute their ability to continue.

This caused the post flood population to spread out and fill the earth which was God's original command.  They moved in their language groups and began to spread out in the time of great continental shift.

What did they take with them? 

Their false faith - the worship of the dragon.  A demonic knock off system of the worship of the Most High God.  Seems I remember Satan saying the He would 'become like the most high'.

This ziggurat structure, which is described aptly in Genesis 11, has been found on every continent except Antarctica.  I guess the penguins had better sense than us.

The same structure with religious significance often involving human sacrifice to placate these lesser gods.

I used this opportunity to again drive home with my children the reason we worship the ONE & ONLY MOST HIGH GOD.  It is fascinating to apply God's Word to what we see of our past human history and to connect the dots and see that God's Word once again makes the most sense of what we see.
