卡霍基亚土丘历史遗址印象
-
The Cahokia site was a great visit. Most of us don't realize the largest mound in the America's is right here not far off of I-70 just into Illinois from St. Louis.The site has many mounds and a visitor center and museum. I did not visit the museum but hear it is nice. A must see. Yoou can do this in 10 minutes or you could spend hours.

The museum is excellent with some hands on displays as well as static too. Lots of trails and historic markers so bring your hiking shoes and plan to stay most of the day if you can.

我一时兴起就带了我的3个十几岁大的女儿来这,我们经常听说这里,但都不是作为旅游景点的宣传。解说中心很不错,在这里服务的志愿者和工作人员很细心,知识很丰富。展览品可以和大多数博物馆的相媲美。真正的土丘有点降低我们的兴趣,但我们走了很长一段路才来到这,小孩们的精力也释放了不少。一定要去看看现在出土的文物。我们运气特好,最后的时候还和一位研究生交流了一下,她发现了一些史前古器物,她人很好,花时间跟我们解释了她现在正在研究的东西以及研究的原因和方法。除了我们捐的一些东西和礼物商店卖的价钱合理的商品外,这里一切都是免费的。我强烈推荐那些喜欢历史和美国本土文化的人来这参观。

I wasn't sure what to expect from a bunch of burial mounds but arrived and was pleasantly surprised at the visitors center.. Very well done scenes of the occupants from the period and thorough descriptions of the purpose of the mounds, and the history of the ancient civilization that once lived here..

The story of this mysterious and primitive people is very fascinating. It's important that we raise awareness of such a treasure so close to St. Louis. The Mississippian culture, the 20,000 strong community, the burial mounds that took hundreds of years to build, one bucket-full of dirt at a time, are accessible here. The movie, the incredible displays, climbing the big mound, bring the time period of AD800-1400 to focus. If you are visiting St. Louis or just passing through, this is an easy stop with cultural treasure to be found.

Because it was very cold (20 degrees), we only walked up to the top of Monks Mound (the big one) when we drove out on Tuesday. Unfortunately the museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Our friends had recommended it so highly though, that we returned the next day to go through the museum. Even then we didn't have enough time to see it properly. We look forward to hiking in the area to see Woodhenge, and explore the other mounds when the weather is warmer. We have recently read about this Mississippian Culture in "1491" and it was great to see such a fine display, and the many mounds.

I went out of curiosity. This is a underutilized site. Few people realize that a historic site of this magnitude is only a few miles from St. Louis. This is a must see if you are into early history. There are other sites in the area that has a lot of early American history also. I don't think smaller children would appreciate it. But I think 12+ would enjoy it very much.

Cahokia mounds is an area just east of St. Louis that is shrouded in mystery. A hand-built earthen mound that rises 100 feet into the air is the center point of the entire complex. The Cahokia Mounds Interpretive Center is an exciting place to learn about this culture that virtually disappeared from off the face of the earth around 1400 AD. An exciting place to visit that is replete with adventures just waiting to happen for anyone brave enough to explore the surrounding area via the hiking trails. I grew up visiting the Mounds site and even used the mystery of the Mississippian culture's disappearance in my first novel, HILL OF GREAT DARKNESS. If you are ever in the area, don't pass the opportunity to see this great Midwestern marvel.

I still cannot believe that a site so large could be so easily missed by people driving north in Illinois from St. Louis! Cahokia Mounds is about five minutes of the highway and advertised only once. To miss it is to miss seeing the remains of one of the largest ancient cities in North America. You're into it before you realize that you are surrounded by mounds created hundreds of years ago. Why did the people leave? We just don't know. Left behind are mounds created by people carrying baskets of earth day after day creating a mysterious site for us to ponder. The interpretive center is fantastic with a film to watch before beginning your own exploration of the site. This site is worthy of being a national park. Be sure to see it.

State of the art interpretive center. Few people know that this town was bigger than London in the 1200s. Good explanations for why it thrived, but why did it disappear? Great that all the acreage is protected.
