Seek Mystery of
CahOkia Mound

mound, which is 100 feet in height, is
the greatest structure of its kind III
the world. 1t was supposedly a re-
ligiOus temple. Archaeologists 9sti-
mate that the settlement of the mound
builders numbered not less than 15O,-
900 inhabitants at the height of its
prosperity.
At First AgricuIturists.
The size of the settlement site, as
ii can be imagined from the ruins,
the agricultural type of much of the
work in flint, such as the great spades
and hoes almost peculiar to that VI
cinity, and the rich alluTial bottom
land combine to show tnat the Caho-
kians were probably at first agricul-
turists. They probably fished and hunt
ed to some extent, but they, doubtless,
depended for their subsistence upon
their labor in the field and their sta
pie food was unquestionably corn.
II is believed that the appearance
of the bison resulted In the abandon
ment of agriculture and the develop
ment of the chase. with the result That
the community became nomadic and
gradually crumbled and dispersed to
the four quarters of the continent.
Believed to Have Come From Mexico.
The preponderance Of evidence so
far discovered is that the people or
Cahokia were worshipers of the sun.
There is so much about Cahokia that
is similar to the works of the Aztecs
that the conviction is forced upon the
student that il was from Mexico that
these people came to the Mississippi
valley. bringing their religion, their
priesthood. their corn, their mode OF
life and their middle order Of print
tive civilization.
