点评:Ocmulgee Mounds is the site of habitation for more than 10,000 years, most notably by a tribe that built large mounds and a village here. The history is interesting as archaeologists have found countless artifacts in the area, many of which are displayed in the uniquely-designed visitors center. But the reason people come here is the mounds, which actually were built for different purposes. One was a funeral mound. Another was a meeting lodge, which has been reconstructed (the original floor remains). Others were once topped with buildings.
The Park is relatively compact. There are only four mounds of any significant size (two of them together). All can be reached on short walks on well-kept paths from the visitors center or by car.
Two hours is enough to see all the major mounds and thoroughly visit the visitors center museum, including watching the Park film.
翻译:奥克穆尔吉土丘地带自1万多年前起便有人居住,其中最著名的便是那个在此建造了大型土丘与村落的部落。这片地区的历史十分有趣:考古学家在此发现了无数文物,其中许多都陈列在设计独特的游客中心里。不过人们前来此处的主要目的还是为了参观这些土丘——它们其实是出于不同用途而建造的。其中一座是丧葬用土丘,另一座则是一座集会场所。这些土丘经过重新修整(原有的地面仍保留原貌)。其他土丘曾经上边建有建筑物。
公园的范围相对不大。只有四个规模较大的土丘(其中两个相邻)。从游客中心出发,沿着维护良好的小径步行片刻即可抵达,也可以驾车前往。
花两个小时就足以参观所有主要的土丘,并仔细游览游客中心的博物馆,包括观看有关公园的影片。
