Cahokia

Cahokia: The Lost City of North America explores the remarkable rise and fall of Cahokia, a thriving metropolis that flourished around 1050 CE on the Mississippi River, with a population comparable to major cities of its time. Through archaeological findings, oral histories, and cultural analysis, the book reveals the city's complex social hierarchy, ritual practices, and extensive trade networks, challenging long-standing myths and uncovering its significance in North American history. It also examines the reasons behind Cahokia's decline and the remnants that remain today, providing a detailed look into a civilization that once shaped the continent's past.
