The Mound Builders: Mysterious Mound Builders in Eastern North America

The Mound Builders were a series of pre-Columbian cultures that inhabited eastern North America and were characterized by the construction of earthen mounds, such as the Cahokia site in Illinois. Although much is known about them, there are still many unanswered questions about their identity and the reason behind mound building. Some believe the mounds had religious or ceremonial purposes, while others suggest they may have been residences for elites or platforms for important structures. In short, the Mound Builders left an imposing legacy, but their history remains a mystery in many respects.
