I’d like to clarify: adding lye to corn is not about being palatable. It is called nixtimization. It’s purpose is to avoid death from Niacin deficiency in people who rely on corn for sustenance, ie Conrad Elvehjem.
Nice, informative presentation. Speaking of frogs 6:27 , I had to stay in a hotel for a while in Alton, my home(12 miles northwest of Cahokia), and some canadians at hotel asked what that loud sound was all around. "It's tree frogs", I said. They didn't believe me. "We've heard frogs, and that aint frogs!", they said. Lol. "YES, IT IS!", I said, "I've lived here my whole life. I know what I'm talking about." They still didn't believe. They were drunk, I think :)
How long was Cahokia abandoned and when did the area become re-inhabited? Historically the Famed leader Pontiac was murdered there ? *("...Pontiac was assassinated on April 20, 1769 near the French town of Cahokia Most accounts place his murder in Cahokia, but historian Gregory Dowd wrote that the killing probably happened in a nearby Indian village.The killer was a Peoria warrior whose name has not been preserved. He was apparently avenging his uncle, a Peoria chief named Makachinga (Black Dog), whom Pontiac had stabbed and badly wounded in 1766. A Peoria band council had authorized Pontiac's execution. The Peoria warrior came behind Pontiac, stunned him by clubbing him, and stabbed him to death.." wikipedia article)
WHERE did all the dirt come from to build the mounds- specifically, Monks Mound? That's a HUGE amount of dirt! Did they help expand Horseshoe Lake by extracting dirt from there? It's a big lake, and the avg depth is only about 4' (1/4- 1/2 mile apprx, west of Monks Mound)
You are so brilliant from a professional and outside perspective; however, this was not a religion- life was in nature and in such we felt naturally connected to these most basic symbols.... I can breakdown the relevance of spiritual ostracization, or rather it's role in the Exodus from chagogia. Stories and knowledge of an "ancient water city in the west" remain within every southeastern tribe. The snake that you saw within the ground is our great serpent uktena- both destruction and salvation of life in some stories..... So there most definitely lives an influence in our present culture that can relate to Cahokia.
Loss of faith=loss of trust of the aristocracy promoting the faith. The blame for breaching the supernatural contract leads to social fractionation and collapse. The story is similar at Chaco
Trying to save a mound found in the city of Graham North Carolina. Dedicated my UA-cam channel to trying to show you guys the evidence. I’ve got a wooden bow, bird effigies, a stone with a river map on it, and an artifact with a photorealistic face on it with an arrow pointing at it. (My avatar pic) Send help
Wonderful presentation, I especially enjoyed the slight connections to lunar symmetry within building position; there is more to elaborate on the spiritual effort and symbolism as it relates to the whole of "religion" for these people at this time in antiquity.
They didn't 'overthrow' anything or anyone; they just left. We can't do that today. Where are we to go? I guess, we can go to Rumble or duck duck go and leave the big tech sites behind that are communists lol

So... my question, not to mention that every continent has aborigines except for America apparently. If first man was dark or dark brown how can the first Americans be Mongolian or Chinese?
The idea of human sacrifice greatly troubles me. I would think it would trouble any human. If I could come up with an alternative explanation for the many dead young women in that grave, I would be deeply relieved. Human sacrifice is murder. No religion, no caste explanation can justify it. If you're looking for an explanation for the sudden end of Cahokia, maybe it's staring you in the face. Maybe the people of Cahokia put up with this hideous practice as long as they were too oppressed to stop it. Then maybe they stopped it.
That’s what those devils were doing. This guy is just scratching the surface of what they did. Really the whole area should have been leveled and forgotten. To bring attention to these crimes is just extending the horror to us.
That's an interesting theory. Maybe it explains why Cahokia was so short- lived. Maybe that's why the east st louis site was burned to the ground n left desolate; ppl had had enough (?) Perhaps it WAS intentionally left behind n forgotten, as the narrarator said. I'm not sure I believe it, but it's as good a theory as I've heard thus far
@@evan8654 and ur an idiot. Some cultures are just BETTER than others. Is killing a baby or any other person a good thing that u would approve of? Apart from capital punishment why? or why not?
The Mound builders of North America were called the I'hins of Guatama. They were worshippers of the Great Spirit or the All Person. They were not associated with hithenistic belief on the frog or other bizzar isotheric shenanigans. They go back from time immemorial and worship Jehiovih or the Great Spirit and lived communally in clusters of a thousand and four thousands.
So they were part of the lost tribes of Israel? In revelation it speaks about the beast being thrown (the serpent mound in Ohio looks like a serpent eating an egg or seed) it also says three unclean spirits like frogs will come from the mouth of the beast.
what if there was a terrible flood? ive heard stories of people long ago who were burned up were they stood and after was a flood that quenched the fire.
Why did they burn up? I believe the flood happened and also a mud flood. I’m thinking the mud flood destroyed a former civilization and the cannibals took it over. The locations and how they are marked with celestial bodies is interesting. 5 degrees off from the axis. Can you share more information about the people burning? It reminds me of a scripture about “they were consumed with fire”.
I was liking this data until the part about human sacrifices and then I stopped because it really wasn't very long ago was it? And I hope we will never be so uncivilized as they were!
Is this your analysis of our people the Native Americans, not the European world view of our People.. only Aztland People can speak on this not you speaker.
Not so. Cultures and their habits can be observed by anyone. They're plain to see. Having specific DNA grants you no special insights into the inner workings of a culture which no longer exists. Archaeology and research and a little common sense do that.
Taking joy from the suffering of others doesn't do much good...our people still live in poverty in many parts of the country. Your enthusiasm would be better employed helping them, would it not? And I wonder how loudly you'd celebrate if it was your bones moldering in that grave after being sacrificed? Culture is all very well until it kills you. I have Creek and Choctaw blood, too. That doesn't mean I can't recognize savagery for what it is...whether the savages in question wear white skins or brown ones.

Incredibly relevant history connecting indigenous history with modern history.

Wow this doesn't get the recognition it should. Very well done! I'm up to my neck in things to research now

So, u have no 'religion'??? Maybe look up the definition of religion. EVERY culture has one. I guess, they just sacrificed women for fun?

So the grassroots overthrew the Urban Overlords and in quick order, what's taking so long to overthrow the failed system this time around...?
They didn't 'overthrow' anything or anyone; they just left. We can't do that today. Where are we to go?
I guess, we can go to Rumble or duck duck go and leave the big tech sites behind that are communists
lol
maybe because the narrative shouldn't be as simple as that...
4:33 hardly...
The Spanish encountered them when Hernando de Soto cut through the southeast in 1541. The Spanish wrote info down about them but also got them sick.
We are still here we are Louisiana Creole aka Mississippians we are blacc
I'm guessing that this is Dr. Timothy Pauketat, but I'm not really seeing where it says that?
46:37 your "marxist background"???!
wtf
really?
The name of the speaker could be a little bit more prominently presented here...Who is it?
idk but he said he had a "marxist background" towards the end

ty now i know where the road is to be
47:50 Holy Shit! 😭🤣
Why did they lose faith in civilization??
Or did they reject the powers/governors that were governing their society/ civilization??

26:45 human sacrifices.
No wonder they were called 'savages.' It's apalling
So... my question, not to mention that every continent has aborigines except for America apparently. If first man was dark or dark brown how can the first Americans be Mongolian or Chinese?
Eddie 1967 That’s one hypothesis.
Because we have been the colors on a chameleons back
No credible source claims the first Americans be Mongolian or Chinese

You’re projecting your own morality on to another culture.

Thousands of years . . not too long ago hahaha
It actually got worse, much worse . . think Hiroshima!
The chronology is way off. Cahokia was way before 1100 ad, they just don’t wanna admit it.
I was enjoying that until he mentioned Marx
These people as crazy, women so sad.

The native Americans did not do these works. This was a distinct and separate race.
