Long before modern cities dominated the landscape, Cahokia stood as one of the largest and most sophisticated Indigenous urban centers in North America. 🏞️ Built by the Mississippian culture, its enormous earthen mounds—including the towering Monks Mound—show remarkable engineering, organization, and knowledge. These aren’t Egyptian-style pyramids, but monumental earthworks with a powerful history of their own. 🪶🌎
