Kolomoki is a Native American Mound site in Blakely, Georgia. There are seven earth mounds built between 250 A.D. to 950 A.D. by the Swift Creek and Weeden Island Indians. The mound above is Georgia's oldest temple mound, 57 feet tall. In 1974, Kolomoki was robbed of more than 129 ancient pottery pieces and effigies, numerous arrowheads and other treasures of Indian tribes. The museum was only open during the weekend and after breaking in on Sunday night the thieves had five days to clean the place out. Fortunately, a number of pottery pieces were recovered in Miami and St. Augustine. Yet currently more than 70 relics are still missing from the museum. Archaeologists believe that the rest of the artifacts are in Georgia and Florida. The pieces may have been sold to unsuspecting collectors.
