Cahokia: The Lost American City Bigger Than Medieval Paris || American History Before Sleep

Описание: Travel back nearly 1,000 years to Cahokia, the greatest ancient city in North America — a place where tens of thousands of people worked together to move 14 million baskets of dirt by hand.

In this calm, immersive American history before sleep documentary, you’ll discover how the Cahokians built Monks Mound, a massive earthen pyramid larger at its base than the Great Pyramid of Giza — without wheels, horses, or metal tools.

This episode explores:
• How ancient Americans engineered massive earthworks
• Why Cahokia rivaled medieval Paris in size
• How communal labor shaped one of history’s greatest cities
• The mystery behind Cahokia’s sudden abandonment

Perfect for sleep, relaxation, study, or deep historical immersion, this long-form narrative blends storytelling, archaeology, and ancient engineering.
