Cahokia Indian mound East of St Louis is very interesting. It is the largest earth structure in North America, unless there is something in Mexico or Central America. You will have to Google Map it, I have been there twice but can't give directions to it. No one knows how the civilization that was there ended, but the European settlers{us} didn't have anything to do with it. The inhabitants left before European settlement.

I suggest that they were spending as much of their resources on defense, percentage wise, as we do today. We walked up the 200 foot high mound. Not too far off there is a large landfill mound. The thought occurred that I wondered what future archaeologists would think of the 2 large mounds near each other.
