Well, good for you - ( I heard SOMEONE say ! )

The Cahokia people may have antedated those we now call "Native Americans"; and had a fairly thriving culture-symbolized by the mounds still existing from the Ohio valley to the NY Finger Lakes.

Some of the mounds may have been ceremonial; others seem to have been fighting platforms.Use of smelted copper tools and weapons was common, and some describe a written language, which resembles that associated with the Celts.

and I'm sure there is much much more all of which has great meaning for us espcecially the answers to the important questions, like why their culture is no more, how they came to be in an undiscovered land, and how great was their culture in relation to other peoples living on the earth at the time. He who wishes to relive history, or pay little attention to it, hath a fool for an historian. Anyone like that on this thread?
