Illinois Adventure # 1308 "Cahokia Mounds" 

I'm teaching this right now. -a public school history teacher

It’s wrong, just like many actual lies we were taught.

@@brandonalessini3713. Good for you!!!

​@krissiebelhamri1459 Applause! Well Said! I grew up in Ilinois, anything I learned about the First Americans my European Ancestor robbed from I.had to search diligently for outside mainstream education

Did you know the rest of the world has no education on indigenous native Americans. I wonder why they aren't taught about us in school ?

They are far older than what we are being told, many of them 12k+ years old--later re-purposed by subsequent peoples. Hancock has mentioned this several times and is confirmed in Indian tradition and legends. There has even been recent scientific evidence to confirm this as well that has been dated to that time period. A great book I recommend is: The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up by Dewhurst. And of course all of Graham Hancock's works with the caveat that you don't believe everything he states, especially the spiritually and physically dangerous Ayahuasca usage he recommends.

@Oftin Wong Are you kidding me, your comment doesn't make any sense, and doesn't even apply to what I stated. There is way more evidence than that, that is merely one of the latest articles, one of thousands of pieces of evidence that corroborate with its findings--thousands upon thousands. You must be trying to cover it up like academia or you are far too ignorant to be making a comment about it. Peer review is a system that was created to eliminate truth--these people are brainwashed by the universities and become zombified parrots regurgitating only what they have been taught, which is mostly lies. If you don't know that by now you have a lot of learning to do about what is going on. There is an ongoing documented cover-up 100% proven that has been going on for over a hundred years by the Smithsonian and academian gatekeepers--the peer-reviewers you so adore. Again, I recommend that you read Dewhurst's book The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America--he will clue you in to reality and wake you up from your stupor that your are currently in. All of Graham Hancock's works are mandatory as well for your education and he will tell you the same thing I'm telling you now.

I've been wondering how every where else got pyramids. I see why cause they call the mound's

Well thank you because the only pyramid is in Memphis so I kind of felt like we should have some also. Knowing this is exciting and hope to hear about lost treasures.

Because they were all enslaved or killed by the Ger-man. This is our shit they stole and good from us. The people of this land we're documented as having copper colored skin or black. Many different hair textures as well. Question is why hide it? Answer is they'd have to pay more than just reparations. They'd have to leave.

cool

Probably dont most think Indians from couple hundred years ago

Yeah it’s for certain that this is our culture and we were here before Columbus copper is a brownish red and the so called “african American” is a brown with a red undertone and during the early 1900’s we had the copper romances with us on the cover

@Mike Jones These were invaders, The giants were first!

Just wait till various native tribes decide they are going to forcibly prevent peoples from visiting these areas , like they do at the serpent mound. Even though its a public site with the ohio historical society.

@@johnaiken8511 I hope your not referring to what happened last year, if so..

Pls ignore silly comments

Serpent mound is a "public" site? It BELONGS to the native American tribe that built it. Along with the ENTIRETY of this COUNTRY. This land was stolen. Period!

@@jonbrockman5308 and before we stole it, it was stolen by other natives who raped, murdered, etc.. what’s your point?

Lmao

It was wooden when I visited. Now it's concrete.

@@chrispile3878 interesting

What happened to the city of gold the Ancient Covenant people built For God.

@@debbiecooper3661 The Mormons stole it

I live in Oregon, the Willamette Valley has mounds as well. At one point in time prior to the farmers plowing the down, digging them up. I have heard there were about 300 mounds along the Calapoia River, and some along the Long Tom River. All of this was considered Kalapuya territory. Their is a old story from the settler days of the last one being made. Also it was said that before the trees took over. One of the mounds could be seen when looking at spirit Mt. On the Grand Ronde Resevation. Have no idea if there is a connection. Just tossing the info out there for people to ponder. Cahokia is a place I do want to visit, along with Spirit Mound.

​@@captainfanta8641WOW That's Kool. I lived in Shady Cove for a year. I would love to have known about those mounds.❤ Now I have to go back. LoL Great info

who removed them the tribe or govt? I have heard that there could have been giants or the likes buried in them, wondering who decided to take the risk as i also have heard to dig them up is seriously a "dangerous" feat with potential spirits inside etc.. any more info or pointing me toward where I can find info is appreciated, this is fascinating, especially because we were never taught anything about this seemingly magical place!

​@johnlombardo7816 mounds of Wisconsin had giant bones that were seen by tons of people and in newspapers. Then they went to the Smithsonian 😂😂😂😂They Gone!!!!

Giants? Evil spirits? 😂😂😂 Are you ok big guy?

True facts they don't understand that they are studying his story not the truth it's so much lies learned that it has become the truth and the truth becomes the lies

The weak cannot comprehend with this s***the Lost cannot comprehend with this s***because a lie is the truth to them because they lie makes the weak and the Lost feel secure which doesn't prepare them for anything like the truth receive lies and be unprepared or receive truth and be prepared

They ain't built for this s*** I've been telling people to look up the New York area map at night on their phones my Knockswasn't answered if you decide to look it up flipped the map upside down and you will find out why everything we do is a setup

We tried to keep women barefoot, pregnant and ignorant but you feminists were too smart for us. Curses!

@@prestonransome5362 I was too young for that era lol. I was a young child. Most women will stay home and have children. But there is one condition, she has to feel safe and that she can depend on the man she is with. At least most decent empathetic women feel that way. I would have just started a business from home lol Love your comment. It made me laugh. Ignorant huh hahaha

You realize the entire continent at one point was one single location, not these fictional borders created by the white man. We’re all one people.

Adjust your meds oppa.

Where is the location of the mounds?

You mean 1492?

1942?🤔

The Spanish encountered them when Hernando de Soto cut throught the southeast in 1541. The Spanish wrote info down about them.

Oral tradition. The Native Americans have legends.

Oral history is highly reliable.

@Johnny Doeboy correct.

If you go there all you’ll hear is “maybe....” “we think....” “there might have been....” “It’s possible....” It’s a cool place but, it is a big mystery today.

It seizes to amaze me how stupid people are to believe b.s. and it's so obvious north America had natives that had no written language, no mathematics, no astronomy but get to Mexico to South America and their is pyramids, structures, mathematics, astronomy, agriculture, gold, copper, silver etc...a huge difference between these Europeans from the north with lies and the Spanish in Mexico and South America that didn't lie

Absolutely NO different from classes today...

@@berthaday3473 Yup. Coming soon to a nation near your hunger games here we come.

Well, corn is supposed to originate thousands of years ago from a single agricultural center: Mexico. If the Mississippi culture independently figured out how to cultivate it, then it certainly is a great achievement, maybe that's what he means.

@Klaa2 Which remark in specific, Einstein?

@@RogueReplicant yup in mexico about 7,400 years ago

They figured out how to cultivate corn. Then they got a complex culture and a city of 20k.

@@prestonransome5362 Yes, I expect that it happened in that order.

where is this at

I'm not from Illinois but it's awesome to think that Illinois used to be the most populated state a thousand years ago before it was even a state.

A holy place where a manipulative elite class used their knowledge of seasonal cycles to control and enslave their own people? Yeah, that sounds holy as fuck.

@Johnny Doeboy _Legends never lie._

@Johnny Doeboy Chill out, man. Those are educated guesses based on certain clues in the ground. The idea that the elites occupied the higher parts is reasonable. As is the idea of restricted access. Try strolling up to Barbara Streisand's mansion today.

I wonder how old this video is?

Monks Mound allows one to see 10 miles and you can see the city and arch well from where the king sat and lived. I guess since he was the big boss, he also gave orders on everything and controlled everything like war narratives and housing for regular too. Like us in the modern era, they too came up short despite all that open space and resources here in America. greed and psychopathy destroys each and every time a civilization matures.

You can't' have a complex society without some form of it.

Have you visited Iceland, Scandinavia? Complex societies can exist and thrive when the People receive more of the benefits of their labor. After WW 2, in the 1950's and 1960's, that is just what happened in the USA. Unfortunately, those who run the circus have decided that the lower classes don't really need as much as the rich classes do.

That part is likely false, mainstream will tell you it was for "elites" because they want to program your mind to believe in a hierarchy and to worship the "elite". They recently discovered the Egyptian pyramids weren't tombs for pharaohs, but giant energy generating structures. I'm sure the purpose for these large mounds had nothing to do with class structures.

Its a lie thats why.

That’s a lie most likely

Also from Chicago! How was your visit? I went when I was very young, and would like to go again this summer =)

Stop at cozy dog in Springfield on rt 66 they invented corndogs

Its been 4 years! have you gone yet. :)

They did, Navajo and peublos always use Mecaw feathers from central america, because of the vast trade routes that were very complex

They had contact with all the other mound/ pyramid builders around the world that had the knowledge of the stars and progressions and built these aligned with the stars, sun, moon,etc. There are loads of history archeologist are not telling us.

@@gregoryleblanc7938 They were in touch... 'around the world'... good grief.

Dude they clearly had boats back then. A little Chinese girl just sailed around the world by herself. Open your eyes it's not unbelievable to think this possible. And now you mention it, asian ppl's, eskimo ppl's, and also native american ppl's all have distinguishing looking traits.......... seems as if they did make a little "contact" back than 😉.

@@shiverarts8284 that’s right. There was a burial ground accidentally dug up in the PNW that contained South American tobacco seeds even.

There are old news articles about that. I was wondering if they were going to mention that fact prior to watching this.

During the early 1900's there has been hundreds of giants dug up and sent to Smithsonian. Then never spoke of again.

Any sources? :x

@@sigmacassandra4365 Yeah. Hold on.

@@sigmacassandra4365 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mR5i0lI3xrw.html. I think this is one that covers this subject

And the maize that had to come from Mexico, where it was originally bred in Oaxaca

They had. The Poton , Chontal, Yokotan Mayans. Miami derives from Mayaimi. Thus why they tried to eradicate this part of history so there would be no trail proving this. I knew this from elders.

Seems like a group of Mesoamericans moved north rather than native americans living differently since the mesoamericans were settled people while native americans were nomadic and this wasn;t widespread in the north.

I think it was more diffusion based rather than mesoamericans themselves

700gsteak The Mayans moved Northward into the Mississippian Southeast. The remaining Mississippian peoples and the Iroquoian Ani’yunwi’ya mingled with the Mayan migrants producing the Mikasuki, I.e. Muskogee people. One thing is for certain. The Mayans must’ve been related to the numerous mound building cultures because of the way they built their structures, e.g. Meso-American pyramids and Hopewell Mounds.

I want to go so bad 😅

Did the solukang built it?? 😂😂

No, my grandfather did.

Congrats!!! Did you also find mushrooms? :)

They were black. When people say we came from Africa, explain how Africans built the plantation with marketing they’ve never seen. The ships weren’t that big, and it didn’t take days or weeks to reach the US. It took months and Africans would’ve died out by then

They were so called black , colored , Indians , but specifically and factually Moors 🇲🇦

People like to say stupid things.

There were people-groups that "discovered" the Americas and many other places far-flung, long before the Vikings.

A person can discover something that has already been discovered. It is semantics. To that person, it's a new thing. Therefore, the Vikings found the new world for the first time for themselves, even though there were already people living in the new world. That doesn't change the fact that the Vikings discovered something. So let's stop complaining about semantics.

at least he wasn't talking about Columbus

They didn't. They just discovered new native Americans

The giants with red hair that were there before the amerindians arrived, you mean? Who built all of the mounds and elaborate stone structures? Yes - the Shawnee and Ojibwa elders tell fascinating origin stories saying precisely that.

The clock is ticking.

I said that the truth is not out there, and yes someone giants have 6 fingers and red hair. I just want it out there

Nothing is gained by playing the one-note ukulele of victimhood, Sir. The dishonesty, stupidity and malevolence of our country today are a terrible tragedy for us all.

Agreed

They traded with the US Southwest/Four corners regions (aka the Pueblo peoples) as an intermediary. They didn't know about each other but they both knew of the Puebloans.

Too many assumptions. They didn't need to trade directly with the mesoamericans for them to have obtained corn, there were many other tribes, cultures in between the two that would have been like dots connecting the trade. It's much more likely that they obtained the corn via the many other tribes that lived south of that area and eventually extending in to Texas. As for the seashells from the Gulf of Mexico, you do realise the Gulf of Mexico extends well in to the United States right???? Have you ever even looked at a map??? Florida, Louisiana, Alabamba, Mississippi, Texas, all are on the GULF OF MEXICO lol. Corn obtained from other tribes that lived to the south, seashells obtained from trading tribes of Florida/Louisiana Gulf of Mexico shores.... get it now?

Texas to Florida are all on the Gulf of Mexico and nowhere near mesoamerica.

J A so... they had contact lol so much effort to fix this plot hole like bro they ain’t telling you the truth lmao

@Klaa2 The cultivation of maize is in itself primary evidence of cultural contact. Its spread has been traced from Mesoamerica to the Mississippi valley. Do you think this happened without human agency? I regard as unscientific the thesis that Mississippian maize cultivation developed independently of the Mesoamerican instigators of that practice. Contact between these regions was easily achieved through water passage, in contrast to the proven but more difficult Mesoamerican cultural migration northward to the southwestern U.S. over desert terrain. How else do you account for the appearance of maize in the Mississippi Valley?

I concur...

Why do you become so easily outraged? He mentions the shells from the Gulf of Mexico. The dude presents plenty of facts, and speaks reasonably on established fact. Don't take things so personally.

@@Redmenace96 Nupuqi Om-Re Khonectics chamber degrees will guide you

@@Redmenace96 Why do you accuse them of being "outraged", of taking things "personally"? I do not see that in their comment. It comes across as simply an honestly-felt viewpoint.

Yes flooding was and still is an issue on the planet > especially next to not one giant river but where 2 giant rivers meet the Missouri and the Mississippi

BRILLIANT!

@Klaa2 stop it clown...

Before they died maybe Europeans were able write down their findings

Language, history gets passed down by word of mouth as with all ancient histories.

you can learn a lot by what you dig up . . .

Ya they probably saw the sun. It's pretty big and hard to miss.🙄

look up Pueblo Bonito

'Advanced'... no.

Dig, sift, study.

Awebo.

@@wendellgrim3815 - I'm guessing you are a Republican and a Trump supporter!!

Wendell Grim shut the fuck up clueless piece of shizen

Wendell grim where did you find that information?

No corn was grown throughout northern Midwest USA

The mounds are buriel grounds. That would be where they were buried. They are not to be touched. That is not honorable.
