EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring Cahokia Mound, a remarkable earthwork built by the ancient Native American mound-builder culture in Illinois. Taken around 1907, this image showcases the enduring legacy of these early inhabitants of North America. The Cahokia Mound stands tall against the backdrop of an expansive midwestern landscape. Its grandeur and scale are evident as it dominates the surrounding countryside. This archaeological marvel served various purposes for its builders - from ceremonial gatherings to burial grounds - reflecting their rich cultural heritage. The photo provides a glimpse into a time long past, showcasing an era when farming and agriculture were integral to daily life. The presence of nearby fields and farms hints at the close connection between humans and nature during that period. As we admire this prehistoric wonder, we are reminded of the ingenuity and craftsmanship possessed by these native peoples who constructed such impressive structures without modern tools or machinery. Their achievements continue to fascinate archaeologists, historians, and visitors alike. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and natural beauty encapsulated within this iconic landmark. It serves as a testament to our shared human history while also inspiring curiosity about those who came before us in this land we now call Illinois.
