The main reason why prehistoric Georgia Indians built the Etowah mounds was to use them as temples for religious ceremonies. The Native Americans considered these mounds as sacred spaces where they could honor their gods, ancestors, and perform rituals. While hunting, trading, and storage of crops were important activities for these communities, the primary purpose of the Etowah mounds was religious and spiritual in nature.
