DESCRIPTION:
In the year 1100, the largest city in America wasn't in Europe — it was Cahokia, Illinois. Bigger than London. Then, by 1400, it was empty.
This is the documented story of Cahokia Mounds: the Mississippian city that raised Monk's Mound — 100 feet high, 13 acres at its base, 22 million cubic feet of earth, about the footprint of the Great Pyramid of Giza — all carried by hand, with no wheel, no draft animals, no iron tools, and no writing.
We cover the Big Bang of 1050, the astronomical precision of Woodhenge (48 cedar posts), the two-mile palisade rebuilt four times, the disturbing burials of Mound 72 — 250+ burials, 20,000 shell beads, and 53 young women in neat rows — and the real evidence behind the abandonment: drought, the Little Ice Age, warfare, and the collapse of belief. Including the 2021 geoarchaeology study that killed the flood theory.
They didn't vanish. Their descendants are still here.
