Roger Kennedy describes the Ancient Civilization of Cahokia. Cahokia is near St. Louis in the center of the United States. This ancient Native American Civilization was discovered in 1981 and was found to be the largest remains of an ancient civilization within the United States. Larger than the pyramids at Giza.
Roger Kennedy is a former Director at the Smithsonian Institute. He was amazed to learn during his career that major indigenous American cities existed many years before Europeans arrived at locations that now have modern cities such as Memphis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis.
