Can the Mound Indians of Angel Mounds in Southern Indiana and the Toltec Mounds in Little Rock, Arkansas and other places be decended from exploring Egyptians?
Could these Burial Mounds be primitive Pyramids?

It is certainly not an impossibility. For some reason, the modern world seems unable to accept the notion that the ancient world was able to travel any distance at all. The voyages of the Polynesian peoples surely should dispel that idea.
Glenn A. Black's two-volume dissertation on the Angel Mounds shows numerous photographs and site inscriptions that may well have been inspired by the Egyptians, or their descendants.

That's a tough & good question. You should keep this question up for sometime.
There simply is a lack of conclusive and suggestive evidence either way. Most documents were lost to invaders and burnt by the rulers of old from which dissident persons migrated from their home.
Pure speculation: If we assume the big bang theory and that humans started out from Africa, with land masses slowly defrosting, it stands to reason that people making the Indian population would likely have started from established tribes that became migratory, such as Moguls/Mogolians and any other tribes that had access to naval technology or superior methods to cross mountains of ice and fire.

Could the moon be made of green cheese?
Contrary to the prior answer, in fact archaeologists and anthropologists are very well-versed in the extent of world travel by people prior to our time.
But please read the existing research to see if there is any physical or cultural evidence of your ideas, don't just jump into made-up theories without proof. For example, Egyptians of any age were never boldly sea-going. They expanded their empires by land conquest, never by sea. So the idea that they would pack up and travel to Arkansas would take a LOT of explaining.

Possibly the Egyptians had a great navy, they could travel to what is known today as America, and some of them settled here.

Don't you think that several generations of professional archaeologists studying the mound cultures would have figured that out?
Do you think?
