They are far older than what we are being told, many of them 12k+ years old--later re-purposed by subsequent peoples. Hancock has mentioned this several times and is confirmed in Indian tradition and legends. There has even been recent scientific evidence to confirm this as well that has been dated to that time period. A great book I recommend is: The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up by Dewhurst. And of course all of Graham Hancock's works with the caveat that you don't believe everything he states, especially the spiritually and physically dangerous Ayahuasca usage he recommends.

@Oftin Wong Are you kidding me, your comment doesn't make any sense, and doesn't even apply to what I stated. There is way more evidence than that, that is merely one of the latest articles, one of thousands of pieces of evidence that corroborate with its findings--thousands upon thousands. You must be trying to cover it up like academia or you are far too ignorant to be making a comment about it. Peer review is a system that was created to eliminate truth--these people are brainwashed by the universities and become zombified parrots regurgitating only what they have been taught, which is mostly lies. If you don't know that by now you have a lot of learning to do about what is going on. There is an ongoing documented cover-up 100% proven that has been going on for over a hundred years by the Smithsonian and academian gatekeepers--the peer-reviewers you so adore. Again, I recommend that you read Dewhurst's book The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America--he will clue you in to reality and wake you up from your stupor that your are currently in. All of Graham Hancock's works are mandatory as well for your education and he will tell you the same thing I'm telling you now.

Cahokia was not just the settlement around the mound. It spread out all over the so-called American Bottoms as well as across the river in St. Louis. The whole of downtown St. Louis was covered in large mounds. All removed now except for one, which is back in the hands of the local NDN tribes. I grew up five miles south of the Mound and there is a huge buried village that was part of "Cahokia" under my old neighborhood there, still unmarked and never excavated archaeologically.

I live in Oregon, the Willamette Valley has mounds as well. At one point in time prior to the farmers plowing the down, digging them up. I have heard there were about 300 mounds along the Calapoia River, and some along the Long Tom River. All of this was considered Kalapuya territory. Their is a old story from the settler days of the last one being made. Also it was said that before the trees took over. One of the mounds could be seen when looking at spirit Mt. On the Grand Ronde Resevation. Have no idea if there is a connection. Just tossing the info out there for people to ponder. Cahokia is a place I do want to visit, along with Spirit Mound.

My friend and I camped out there in the early 70's. Lots of mosquitos there. Did not know I was sleeping on a burial site.

There used to be a camp ground at Cahokia mounds just south of the old highway that intersected the mound site. Not that it was hurting anything but the enlightened powers saw to it that the camp ground was closed and removed. We as young kids got to explore all around the site and visit the original visitors centers many times. Being on site and learning first hand beats any classroom or internet site.

I live nearby and can say it’s an incredible place to visit. The museum is world-class. I highly encourage all visitors to see the short audio visual presentation in the theater first. It’s extremely well done and there’s a really neat kind of surprise ending. Resist the urge to wander into the exhibit area while waiting for the next show. It makes the experience so much better and memorable if you do. Perhaps visit the gift shop first. I promise you’ll be glad you waited. It’s really cool.

I ve been in plenty hidden woods and ancient parks in the state of ga and I must say the feeling of ageless rest is heavily apon those areas...it is a very pleasant experience....

Jack Weatherford has 2 very good books about pre-Columbian American history. One is called "Indian Givers" and the other "Native Roots". Native people find the first title demeaning, but it isn't meant as the phrase Indian Givers is usually meant. It means that Indians did indeed give us much of what we have today. I highly recommend these books for any serious student of Native peoples and history.

Without a written language, it is difficult to know what everyday life was like.

I was fortunate to have been on a school field trip here in the early 1970's. this was long before the new interpretive center was built. As I recall, there were several mounds being restored to their proposed shape. I remember our guide saying new dirt of a different color was being used for repairs. The reason for dirt of a different color was to allow future archeologists to see where repairs were made. Many of the mounds had tall grass growing on them. I am looking forward to revisiting the improved site.

I'm currently reading a historical fiction novel called People of the River by Michael and Kathleen Gear. So encountering this video helps give "realism" to the novel--plus I have been to Cahokia several times. The novel is amazing because it expands on all the things mentioned in this video PLUS gives possible (maybe even likely) reasons why the area was eventually abandoned. One speculation used in the novel is that the climate was changing and becoming more arid. As a result food was becoming scarce, which resulted in a kind of "food riot" between neighboring sites. Also, a lot about the "religious" beliefs of the people is included, making for a fascinating read. Check it out. (By the way, I do not know nor am I related to the authors, so this is NOT intended to be a plug for the book.)

Awesome! Thank you.

See my video about the mounds that were excavated in Thailand . There was a global civilization before

Glad that I found this doc.- just the other day, I was telling a friend how unusual it is that every place on earth, except for the North American continent, boasted advanced ancient civilizations. Africa, Europe, the Middle East, China, etc., all had past histories of wealth, technology, and culture, which North America seemed to have missed out on. My history education told me that ancient empires in the Western hemisphere stopped at the Mexican border. Now I know better. Thanks.

Thanks for the info can you please provide the name of the excellent music in the beginning of the video?

Very well explained.

If there was no written language how did they come up with so much detailed information ?

Dig, sift, study.

Adding more vertical poles while increasing the overall size of the tree calendar was done to increase the accuracy of their calendar. That would be my guess, anyway.

Thank you!!

We visited Cahokia over the weekend. The staff was friendly, helpful and informative as they explained the history and speculation of the mounds. It is fascinating and should be on everyone’s bucket list.

"they had no written language". And yet... We seem to beleive that we "know" just how they lived and happen to "know" their culture....? Right

dude this is cool

Think about before the corp of engineers, when the river flooded, it flooded for miles. That area is only 10-15 feet above where the river is now. The river used to be more shallow and change course more often. Those mounds were needed to save lives and livestock and possessions. The top of the mound is only 40 feet above the river now. It makes sense they needed several mounds.

Been there many times when I was young. I was raised 102 miles north of there.

He tells us there was no cultural contact with the civilization to the south, in Mexico. Then he shows us the life-sustaining core of their agriculture: maize, the main crop whose cultivation spread from an original center in Mexico. That, my friends, is cultural contact. Meanwhile, the narrator is at a loss to explain the Cahokian's adoption of maize cultivation. He tells us it happened "somehow". This is not exactly a rigorous account.

@Klaa2 The cultivation of maize is in itself primary evidence of cultural contact. Its spread has been traced from Mesoamerica to the Mississippi valley. Do you think this happened without human agency? I regard as unscientific the thesis that Mississippian maize cultivation developed independently of the Mesoamerican instigators of that practice. Contact between these regions was easily achieved through water passage, in contrast to the proven but more difficult Mesoamerican cultural migration northward to the southwestern U.S. over desert terrain. How else do you account for the appearance of maize in the Mississippi Valley?

This is really interesting. Is it from a schools/children's program? Going by the style of presentation?

Thank you so much 🔺️

Great video. @6:16, the white circle is a second hand, the blue is the minute hand and the green is the hour hand.

The giants with red hair that were there before the amerindians arrived, you mean? Who built all of the mounds and elaborate stone structures? Yes - the Shawnee and Ojibwa elders tell fascinating origin stories saying precisely that.

That's hilarious! He states there is no noted ties between the Mississippian Peoples and Mexico....yet they grew Corn. Where does he think Corn came from? My folks who were way up the Missouri River have stories of travels south to the Missippi River and furher south to trade with the People of the Land of the Twisted Pot Houses, sounds like Mexico to me...

"One of the biggest Mysteries." Around 900 AD, large numbers of Indians started to gather and assemble, around Cahokia. There were several Satellite stops related to the mounds. The Collapse of the civilization came because the Indians started to bring religion into their culture. The leaders promised that the reason that the crops were good, the rain was plentiful, and the civilization were functioning, was because of a God. The indian Culture collapsed, at Cahokia, when there was a 100 year drought, and the Indians rejected Religion for a "Way of Life." The Indians left Cahokia because of religion, and the unkept promises that came with it. This is the story taken from the Indian culture.

Arkansas has the Toltec mounds , I wonder if people from Illinois moved down here.?

@@casegordon5055 Who's hiding that and why? That said, Native Americans are very motivated to have all old skeletal remains classified as religious artifacts so they can't be studied. This is to cover up the fact that some skeletons are European and that, thus "Native American" includes European as well as Siberian people. The federal statute they lobbied for is something like "The Native American Antiquities Act."
