Cahokia Mound

Under re-construction. Building the Mound one bucketful at a time, just like they did in the old days. Since we don't have pack animals, I've had to hire people-labor.


I'm living at Monk's Mound, Cahokia, Mound Builder's region. You can't see it in the image, but there's an enclosed wooden estate that is all mine. Follow the steps up, and then down the other side. If I'm of a mind for visitors, I'll put you up in grand style.


Cahokia was first settled around 650 AD during the Late Woodland period, but mound building did not begin there until about 1050 AD at the beginning of the Mississippian period. The site was abandoned between around 1250 and 1400 AD. The inhabitants left no writen records, and the city's original name is unknown. The name "Cahokia" refers to an unrelated clan of Illiniwek people living in the area when the first French explorers arrived in the 1600s, long after Cahokia was abandoned. The Osage, Omaha, Ponca, Quapaw and others are believed to be the descendants of the Mississippians who built the city, but no stories about Cahokia were ever recorded among these tribes.
