Have you ever seen the sky? It’s beautiful. A billion souls walk under it every single day & don’t even bother to look up & wonder what’s out there. There’s so much we still haven’t learned. So much that the scientists won’t even figure out in your life time, & its your job to wonder, to dream, & to try & find the mysteries behind all that lies in your path. Next time you’re outside in the middle of the night, look up. Wonder what’s out there.

The Great Serpent Mound surveyed by Ephraim Squire and Edwin Davis, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, 1848

Reclining on one of the huge folds of this gigantic serpent, as the last rays of the sun, glancing from distant hilltops, cast their long shadows over the valley, I mused on the probabilities of the past; and there seemed to come to me a picture as of a distant time, and with it came a demand for interpretation of this mystery.  The unknown must become known.

— Fredic Ward Putnam, director of the Peabody Museum, 1890 Serpent  Mound
