Watch the full 22 minute pilot episode online at www.americasarchaeology.orgTrailer for Episode 2: America: From The Ground Up! Monty Dobson leads the team to investigate the greatest mystery of the early Americas: Cahokia. In 1000AD Cahokia was a city three times the size of Paris or London. Between 800AD and 1400AD the Mississippian people built a network of cities, towns and villages that stretched throughout the Mississippi Valley and the Southeastern US, from the Ohio River valley to the Gulf of Mexico and from Florida to Oklahoma. Across this area, towns and cities were ruled by powerful chiefs who sat atop a warrior aristocracy with trade links ranging from modern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. But by 1400 the Mississippians had largely disappeared and their magnificent cities were in ruins. What happened to them is one of our greatest untold mysteries! Join Monty as he gets behind the scenes at the museum and digs into the mysterious archaeology of this city of mystery.
