About this listen

A historical non-fiction book set in various regions of ancient North and South America during the pre-Columbian era.

Unearth the forgotten legacy of the Mound-Builders—an advanced civilization that flourished across North America long before European contact. This compelling narrative dives deep into the rich history of these remarkable ancient peoples, exploring their impressive earthen mounds, complex social structures, and the tragic tales of knowledge lost to time and conquest. Their story is one of ingenuity, resilience, and ultimately, a poignant reminder of what was lost in the wake of colonization.

Beginning with a thorough assessment of the Mound-Builders, this book reveals their groundbreaking contributions to agriculture and urban planning in the lower Mississippi Valley. As you journey through the pages, you’ll discover the extent of their settlements, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, and how their architectural feats and artifacts signal a sophisticated society. Rich comparisons to contemporary cultures in Peru and Mesoamerica illustrate shared innovations and hint at interactions that shaped a broader narrative of ancient civilizations. As the Mound-Builders faced decline amidst European encroachment, their vibrant legacy also came under threat. Yet, the remnants of their civilization—a treasure trove of advanced tools and practices—insist on being recognized. The author passionately advocates for the revival of interest in these ancient peoples, asserting their rightful place in history.
