16 Ancient Discoveries Around Arkansas That Reveal 6,400 Years of History

Arkansas is hiding ancient discoveries that reveal a history far older and more incredible than most people realize. From a 10,500-year-old cemetery and an ancient flute hidden for nearly 80 years to a lost city of around 1,600 people and massive mounds aligned with the sun and stars. These discoveries reveal ancient people who farmed, traded across enormous distances, created music, built fortified communities, and honored their dead. The Sloan Site is especially astonishing. It was used roughly 10,500 years ago and is described in the script as the oldest known formal open-air cemetery in the Western Hemisphere. Then there are the Plum Bayou Mounds, where ancient builders created 18 enormous earthworks and aligned several mounds with sunrise and sunset during the equinoxes and solstices.
