North America’s ancient mounds may tell a very different story than most people realize. From the 9,000 BC LSU Mounds to the massive city of Cahokia, Dr. Gregory Little explores the rise of America’s ancient kingdoms, sophisticated trade networks, sacred astronomy, and the mysterious Path of Souls tradition that shaped generations of Native American cultures.

The conversation examines Monk’s Mound, Poverty Point, Hopewell, ancient cacao trade with the Yucatán, astronomical alignments to Orion and the Milky Way, shamanic practices, and why modern archaeology is rethinking what we know about the Mound Builders.

Whether you’re fascinated by ancient civilizations, archaeology,lost history, or Native American cultures, this episode offers a fascinating look at one of North America’s greatest forgotten stories.
