Ancient Copper Peoria IL Falcon Found 1859 Card

Ancient Copper Peoria IL Falcon Found 1859 Card

Ancient Copper Peoria Falcon Found before 1859 Card ... Found in Peoria, Illinois. Dated circa 1200 AD. The exact date and location found remain a mystery. To create this fuller image, I copied the more complete side, cropped it, flipped it, so you can better imagine the intended design from circa 1200 AD. I wanted to see better what it was like circa 1200 AD.‘Ancient Copper Peoria Falcon’ Broken corroded condition found before 1859 CE on the shore of Peoria Lake, Peoria IL, USA. Exact location, exact date found, discoverer: all remain a mystery. Approximately Dated to: 1000 CE to 1200 CE (but see more below). Age: According to this it would be 822 yrs to 1022 yrs old. Depending whether you assume 3 or 4 generations per 100 yrs … or 822 or 1022 yrs gives Between 25 to 40 generations ago (but see more below). Although called the Peoria Falcon (as it was found in the town of Peoria) … The actual Peoria (Peewaareewa) people were not always just in Peoria though … They came here from Iowa having generally moved around as indigenous peoples did. Period: Definitely Pre Columbian (before 1492 CE) … possibly Pre Leif Erikson (before 1000 CE). The Peoria spoke a dialect of the Miami-Illiniwek language, a Central Algonquian language. The Ancient Copper Peoria Falcon is also associated with the dozen earthen burial mounds found on the shore of Peoria Lake, a few still found there today … “A group of 12 ‘Middle Woodland’ period (200 BCE to 400 CE), ‘Havana-Hopewell’ burial mounds”. But, note the earlier date … some 600 to 1200 yrs earlier than the earliest date given above. So, could this possibly imply an earlier possible date for the Peoria Falcon? Please note … No name is known for the peoples living at the time of the Peoria Falcon. It is ‘Pre Peoria’. Possibly ancient ancestors of the Peoria. The Peoria Falcon was mostly bilaterally symmetrical so to create the fuller look I took the more complete side and copied it to the broken side and immediately could see other animals in its design: A realistic squirrel, a lion?, a beaver?, a racoon. The falcon’s fat feathered legs and 4 toe claws are difficult to see … But are spread out bordered by cut out areas and the claws seem to be carrying a snake? A broken slave chain? Imagine the dancer story-teller wearing this polished copper falcon as a headdress or as a breastplate reflecting the pulsating flickering campfire light in front of his audience … many as children. The First Americans arrived between 23,000 to 33,000 yrs ago. That is some 700 to 1,320 generations ago. Or roughly 11 x the time since the early Egyptian Dynasties.
