True or False

Question

Archaeology taught scholars about how the Mississippians used the earthen mounds in their culture. Archaeologists believe the mounds were used to GPS map the city.

Answer 1

False. While archaeology has indeed provided insights into how the Mississippians used earthen mounds—often as ceremonial centers, burial sites, or platforms for significant structures—there is no evidence to suggest that they were used as GPS to map the city, as GPS (Global Positioning System) is a modern technology that did not exist in the Mississippian culture.
