The Cahokia "Puan City" Mounds

This ancient city once known as the capitol of the great Puan Nation is now known as Cahokia Mounds. Puan City at one point was a flourishing township with a greater capacity then most cities of today. These people lived off the land and constructed huge mounds where sacred ceremonies were held. Many traditions have disappeared however a new generation of spiritual dwellers and even kinsfolk of the ancient culture are beginning to return to the area. Oddly enough most of the locals that live around the mounds happen to be Native American, and Spanish mix. The old bloodlines are unknowingly returning to their ancestral home.

*In the times of the Prophet, the place which is now St Louis was once the capital of the Puant nation. The streets of the city actually represented history. Each street started from the Central Hub (which is where the Crest mounds were) and grew outward like a spoke on a wheel. When a dynasty was complete, the line would end and pottery with significant pictures of the period would be placed within the mound. The crest would be closed with a Mound of Extinction. Beyond it, counterclockwise, the new crest would begin.

The capitol buildings stood on the old crest, usually built of logs and beautifully painted. Many crests had been closed at the time of the Prophet and the city was large and many imports and exports went through the streets. The Algonquin remember Him well at the time of His arrival. The fleets coming down the river ceremoniously brought Him, always greeted with flowers. Once the Prophet heard tales of the Sunrise Ocean and the Five Tribes of Warring Nations.

He wanted to go see them immediately; He was so opposed to war and left with the merchants. He came upon the Seneca's and called the chiefs into a council. Quoting....."Long He spoke to them on the ways of His Father, as He had throughout the Broad Land, handling the language with great ease. He explained His peace religion, then He asked of them quite simply: what was the reason for their warfare? The Fire Chieftains were embarrassed, for they had long forgotten the reason, if indeed they ever had a reason. Each warrior looked upon the other and none could think of a valid answer.

"Therefore He bound them ceremonially into a never-ending alliance. To each He gave a sacred duty to perform for the alliance, and then He asked them to smoke the Peace Pipe, filled with tobacco and cedar shavings, and to blow the smoke to the four directions making the sign of the Great Cross, which is a holy symbol. Never from that time onward have the Five Nations fought each other, nor has the trust He gave them been cracked and broken.

"Before anyone else saw the sunlight, a golden shaft of radiant beauty came down from some clouds banked high with firelight, and touched the curling hair of the Prophet, diffusing itself like a halo until He stood, a luminous creature, painting all the ground around Him with gold. The people then fell down saying: 'Behold He is indeed the Dawn God who has come to walk among us!' and 'He draws his power from the Star of the Dawning.' "The tall chieftain, seeing the Great One clothed in gold light, knelt in the dust beside Him and taking the hem of the Prophet's mantle, laid his cheek on the line of creases.

Once he was our guest and heard us chanting. He liked our stories so well that he kept urging us onward through his interpreter of the language. We told him many stories. When he returned and began to write them, he mixed them all together; but he was not trying to make fun of our legends-he was confused. We still honor him for enjoying the chants, and even trying to get the rhythm of their language. We honor him although Heawahsah never sought a Dakota maiden. That was a much later hero, who married with a distant nation.

According to Native American elders a great prophet known as Chee-Zoos or Heawasha, walked these great plains. He was known to heal and bring peace and the message of repentance and commandments to many tribes in the Americas.

Amazing, think, Jesus could've visited, and even preached on these mounds.

Take time to take your mind off the world and find peace and quiet time with the Great Creator God. May this video bless you with a peak of light amongst this uncertain everyday world.

This was some of my old world. Southern IL. When I was little. Between the tavern in Chicago my dad owned and sweet places like this where my mother's people are from. I shed some tears now.

I'm glad this brought back good memories for you. Cahokia Mounds is a good place to seek refuge for the mind, it is a quiet place.  I hope some day you can come back to your home places such as these parts. Peace to you.

hi there nice video, are you a mormon?

[FATGIRLSRHOT]

No, nor do I follow mormon religion. As I have posted where abouts previously, the information I have comes from a book called "He Walked The Americas" by L. Taylor Hansen. It is an in depth look at the tales that Native American elders have passed down about the white prophet Chee-Zoos. There is great evidence that this prophet was Jesus.

these comments are just absurd...lol.

[Mayanbookkeeper]

Jesus Christ the Son of God was white and bearded when he walked the Earth.

Now, his eyes are as a flame of fire; the hair of his head is white like the pure snow; his countenance shows above the brightness of the sun; and his voice is as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah.

@ColumbusIsraelites What scripture says Christ is ruddy? There are scriptures that speak of David this way, but not Christ. Ruddy means red, how is red and burnt bronze the same color? You not making any sense. Revelation and Daniel both say hair like wool. Who else has wooly hair? All people were originally dark skinned. The "Native AMericans" were dark skinned, yet they call themselves "red" when they are clearlyl dark skinned people. Explain away genius.

[QuietBuck]

@ColumbusIsraelites: Correction, scripture clearly states that the Messiah is a man of ruddy aka burnt bronze. That is not black. No color today is the original color if you did your studies.

[ColumbusIsraelites]

@FATGIRLSRHOT You know that author is a fraud, Christ is a black man!

These people disappeared because they were not successful in building slaughtering sacrificial sun temple mounds because of matriarchal tribes who refused to give up their moon teachings. Once they disappeared, they reincarnated as a group to Mayan lands of Guatemala, So. Mexico and Yucatan. Here they found success to enslaving moon tribes, forcing them to build new mounds of stone and then mass murdered them, a great patriarch like all sun patriarchal nations of red, black, white & yellow

The book I'm reading is entitled People of the River by Kathleen O'Neal Gear. She and her husband are both archaeologists and wrote a whole series of novels around North America's pre historic people.

Wonderful vid. I've been reading a novel on the ancient Cahokia mound builders.

[satyrisisxxx]

well... the story of a white bearded god that visited the americas its all over in the ancient legends of the americas from north to south , the aztecs and mayas called him "quetzalcoat" and the incas "viracocha" even small tribes deep in the amazon rainforest have the same story and they are waiting for him to come back again as he promised, it cannot be just a coincidence
