Cahokia was an amazing experience!
Cahokia is the largest prehistoric site in the Americas outside of Mexico. The 2,200 acre tract, which is the central section of the ancient settlement, can be located a few miles outside of Collinsville, Illinois. It is regarded as the most sophisticated prehistoric native civilization north of Mexico. One of the greatest cities of the world, Cahokia was larger than London in AD 1250.
