Spanish Influenza

The horrible pandemic of the Spanish Influenza spread across the world between June 1918 and December 1920. The origin is unknown. Most victims were healthy young adults. Between 50-100 Millions deaths where believed to be a result of this flu. This makes it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history. In one Macon cemetery 160 people are buried as a result of the Spanish Influenza.

Ocmulgee Indian Mounds

The Ocmulgee Indian Mounds are preserved as a national monument. It has been said that humans have inhabited the site for 17,000 years. It is a sacred site of the Mississippian Indians. It includes a burial site and an earth lodge. The Mississippian Indians still consider it sacred land today. It makes me very sad that we took this land away from the Mississippian Indians.

THE BURGESS SHALE!

The Burgess Shale contains the best record we have of Cambrian animal fossils. One of the earliest fossil beds in the world. And it is special because it is containing imprints of soft bodied animals.. If you can call those little guys animals. It is located in the Canadian Rocks of British Columbia. It is 505 years old!! And it was discovered by the great Paleontologist Charles Walcott. 


Below are some images of the fossils found!
