	Getting on the Grid
		It's true that the sites that really capture our attention, and make it clear to us the amazing and still unexplained connectedness between ancient peoples the world over, and yet the sort of information we are seeking could as easily be found in a petroglyph two inches high.
		Additionally, the more the information of the exact sites of the ancient mounds becomes lost, the harder it becomes to corroborate their significance in general, or to make certain statistical comments about their possible nature.
		Each time a specific site name is fed into a search engine, still more general pages are produced that are not located by the more generic search terms, as seems to be the case with many geographical matters, including those extraterrestial.
