Beneath Cahokia: Unearthing Ancient American Pyramid Mounds
Professor Timothy Pauketat, Director of the Illinois State Archaeological Survey, is a leading authority on Mesoamerican and Southwestern archaeology, and in this conversation he reveals the secrets of Cahokia, the major precolonial ceremonial centre located near St. Louis, Missouri, in the Midwestern region of the United States.
Journeying into indigenous American cultures' astronomy and sacred geography, Timothy presents an astronomically aligned landscape reflecting the Milky Way and key stages of the lunar cycle. And he also discusses the possible functions of the enigmatic Birdman tablet, the controversial Chaco Meridian, and the role of frog sounds in ancient rituals and climatology.
