“Most Americans have no idea that ancient cities with advanced architectures once dotted the ancient North American landscape. Why is it that top historians do not know about such things, and why is it that they are not generally known among the modern public either?”

| One of the mounds built in Cohokia |
COHOKIA, Illinois: The Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site is the site of a pre-Columbian Native American city (circa 600-1400 CE) directly across the Mississippi River from modern St. Louis, Missouri. This historic park and archeological site lies in southern Illinois between East St. Louis and Collinsville.
The park covers 2,200 acres (890 ha), or about 3.5 square miles (9 km2),
and contains about 80 pyramid-like mounds. But the ancient city was much larger. In
its heyday, Cahokia covered about 6 square miles (16 km2) and included about 120 human-made earthen mounds in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and functions. More- Website: ancientastronautarchive.com
