00:00 Introduction 00:56 The World Before Cahokia 03:02 The Rise of a Great Civilization 07:14 The City in Its Splendor 10:24 The Collapse: Three Theories 14:15 Cahokia Today 16:32 Closing Before New York, Chicago, or any of the major cities we know today existed, there was a metropolis in the heart of North America that was home to more than 20,000 people. It was called Cahokia. And it disappeared. In this video, we explore the rise and the mystery of the collapse of Cahokia: the largest pre-Columbian city north of Mexico, the civilization that history forgot. Discover the story of Cahokia, one of the largest ancient civilizations in the Americas, which had a larger population than medieval London. This episode examines the rise and mysterious disappearance of this metropolis located in present-day Illinois. We explore how a society with monumental pyramids, rivaling those of Egypt in scale, managed to flourish around 1050 CE before vanishing completely around 1400. By studying these lost cities, we gain insight into the fragility of great human powers. The story of Cahokia reminds us that no civilization is guaranteed eternal survival.
