the Spanish

The Spanish did NOT contribute to the creation of the amazing Monk's Mond! Spanish are European, which means they could not have possibly even witnessed the creation of the mound. Prehistoric Native Americans built the mound in the Mississippian era around 1,300-900 A.D. Monk's Mound is 100 feet tall, with 4 terraces that housed generations of prehistoric royalty, nobility, and priests. Monk's Mound is the largest pyramid north of Mexico. It is located right by east St. Louis in the city of Collinsville, IL (the same city as the world's largest ketchup bottle).
