The
fascinating
story
of
a
lost
city
and
an
unprecedented
American
civilization
located
in
modern
day
Illinois
near
St.
LouisWhile
Mayan
and
Aztec
civilizations
are
widely
known
and
documented,
relatively
few
people
are
familiar
with
the
largest
prehistoric
Native
American
city
north
of
Mexico-a
site
that
expert
Timothy
Pauketat
brings
vividly
to
life
in
this
groundbreaking
book.
Almost
a
thousand
years
ago,
a
city
flourished
along
the
Mississippi
River
near
what
is
now
St.
Louis.
Built
around
a
sprawling
central
plaza
and
known
as
Cahokia,
the
site
has
drawn
the
attention
of
generations
of
archaeologists,
whose
work
produced
evidence
of
complex
celestial
timepieces,
feasts
big
enough
to
feed
thousands,
and
disturbing
signs
of
human
sacrifice.
Drawing
on
these
fascinating
finds,
Cahokia
presents
a
lively
and
astonishing
narrative
of
prehistoric America.
