Cahokia mounds

Today we went to the Cahokia mounds. We went up the stairs on the biggest mound. It had 161 stairs. It was 100 feet tall. There used to be 20000 people living there. It was started 950 years after christ. The biggest temples always belonged to the kings or rulers. There language is unknown. They traded a lot. People know that because they had seashells and we don't have them around here. They had extra food so they traded extra corn for cloths and meat. Later they had to trade with other familys to survive. Nobody knows why they dissipeared. we had a fun time. But now we can't wait for bubble gum day tommorow.
