Caution note: The methodology and results of the mounds
research have been criticized (see rebuttals below). It is my opinion that
most of this criticism arises from the possible conclusions that may be
extracted about intentional design in the distribution of mounds. I
personally don't believe such conclusions are logically derived from the
results, and the hypothesis which is presented is merely that the spatial
distribution is not random, i.e., that the mounds are not independent each
other. An example of an obvious non-random alignment quite similar in
properties to the mounds distribution is the crater chain at the bottom of
the page. They are likely created from a disrupted meteoritic body. No
critic would object that the craters are independent each other
(random).I claim the same for the set of
mounds.
