Event Details

As part of the Library's celebration of Earth Day during the month of April, join Professor Thomas Germano as he explores the Earthworks in the Ancient Americas.  Before contact with the European world, civilizations throughout the Americas developed large-scale earthworks in the form of drawings, sculptural imagery, mounds, elaborate embellishments for cave entrances, urban designs, and solar alignments related to calendrical readings. A keen awareness of the human presence within the cosmos, and upon the earth was their inspiration along with honoring their deities. 

Thomas Germano will present a visual lecture discussing the monumental earthworks created in the Americas in the pre-Columbian era. (PLEASE NOTE: The different day and start time of 1:00 pm)
