Forgotten America: Unveiling the Secrets of Mississippian Civilization

The Mississippian Civilization was a pre-Columbian Native American culture that thrived in the central and southeastern regions of the United States from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE. Named after the Mississippi River, which served as a lifeline for many of its settlements, this civilization left behind an impressive archaeological legacy. One notable feature of the Mississippian Civilization was its distinctive architecture, characterized by massive earthen mounds. These mounds served various purposes, including platforms for ceremonial structures, burial sites for elite individuals, and symbols of power and authority. The most famous mound site is Cahokia, located near present-day St. Louis, Missouri, which was once the largest city in North America. This video will provide an overview of the culture and explore its distinctive features.
