Wisconsin contains 98% of the effigy mounds found in North America. Today, over 75% of the mounds once found in Wisconsin have been destroyed by construction, agriculture, and curio seeking.

It probably was. I was pretty impressed by the fact that all the effigy mounds are in Wisconsin.

I'm not sure whether it's true or not, though.

And the stats are a little vague. If 75% of Wisconsin's effigy mounds have been destroyed, and we still have 98% of those found in the entire country, how many were destroyed nationally?

I sure hope that you are not actually ASKING me because I don't have a clue! That IS interesting though.

That last statistic really sucks. I wonder if Ohio is #2 for effigy mounds?
