The largest mound in Cahokia is Monks Mound, which is the biggest prehistoric earthen structure in North America. It stands about 100 feet tall and covers an area of approximately 14 acres. Monks Mound is believed to have been a central ceremonial and political site for the ancient Mississippian culture that thrived in Cahokia around 600 AD to 1400 AD. Its impressive size and complexity reflect the sophisticated society that constructed it.
Cahokia was a pre-Columbian Native American city located near present-day Collinsville, Illinois, just east of the Mississippi River. It thrived from around 600 to 1400 AD and was the largest urban center in North America north of Mexico, known for its impressive earthen mounds, including the large Monk's Mound. The city served as a major political, economic, and cultural hub for the Mississippian culture, with a complex society and extensive trade networks. Today, Cahokia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its archaeological significance.
The Mississippian society ranged from Florida to lower Canada, and from the East coast of North America to west of the Mississippi River.
The city of Cahokia was built by an unknown people belonging to the Mississippian culture, at some time in the 9th century AD and it flourished for around 700 years. We do not know the name of this tribe, or any of their personal names, or their language, or many other aspects of their society. This is because they had no writing system, like almost all native American peoples throughout the Americas, and the population completely disappeared around 100 years before any Europeans arrived.
Archaeologist believe that internal conflict and infighting with tribal factions in the Mississippian society led to its downfall.

The exact social structure of Cahokia is still debated among historians and archeologists, but it is believed that it was a hierarchical society with male leaders. However, women also held important roles within the community, indicating a more complex social structure than just patriarchy.
