Their is an ancient "fort" in Giant City State Park. It is one of ten such sites which extend from the Mississippi River to the Ohio River across southern Illinois. They are thought to have been built between 400 and 600 a.d. They are thought to have been gathering areas, perhaps for religious purposes, but they are called forts. The important information is that they were constructed before any contact with Europeans and are evidence of community, and perhaps self defense. The rocks on top are not original because they were taken and used by locals. The walls have been rebuilt, but not to their original height. Some have said they may be evidence of a fort in the middle of the land after the birth of Christ. If the dating is accurate this could not be true. However there was something constructed here by pre Columbian people.
A testimony of the Book of Mormon comes through spiritual means.
