Livre 57 sur 70: Forgotten Civilizations
Synopsis
In The Mississippians: Builders of Cahokia, Elliot Rowan uncovers the story of one of North America's most remarkable pre-Columbian civilizations. Rising from the fertile floodplains of the Mississippi Valley, the Mississippian world reached its greatest expression at Cahokia, an immense city of monumental earthworks, broad plazas, thriving neighborhoods, and ceremonial centers. At its height, Cahokia stood as the largest urban settlement north of Mexico, commanding a network of communities connected by rivers, agriculture, trade, religion, and political power.
Drawing on archaeological discoveries, environmental evidence, Indigenous traditions, and early European accounts of later Mississippian societies, Rowan reconstructs a civilization that left no written histories of its own but transformed the cultural landscape of eastern North America. He explores the astonishing rise of Cahokia around AD 1050, the construction of Monks Mound and the city's great plazas, the organization of political and religious authority, the lives of farmers and craftsmen, and the exchange networks that carried copper, marine shell, stone, and ideas across enormous distances. He also examines Mississippian cosmology, warfare and diplomacy, regional centers such as Moundville, Etowah, and Spiro, and the environmental and social pressures that contributed to Cahokia's eventual decline.
More than the story of a vanished city, this book reveals a sophisticated Indigenous civilization whose achievements challenge enduring assumptions about North America's ancient past. The Mississippians created monumental cities, organized large populations, reshaped landscapes, and established cultural traditions that endured for centuries after Cahokia itself was abandoned. Their earthworks still rise above the Mississippi Valley today, preserving the legacy of one of the great urban civilizations of the premodern world.
