Meanwhile, in middle America about 1100, Cahokia had a population near 25,000, larger thn London or some other Euro cities at the time

BTW, when the Spanish came North out of Mexico seeking El Dorado, they were disappointed by the Pueblos they found. They were told the big city is further east. They were undoubtedly being led to Cahokia, but maybe 200 years too late. Somewhere in the vastness of Kansas they gave up. The expedition murdered their Indian guide and returned to Mexico.
