A beautifully illustrated look at the forces that help cities grow—and eventually cause their destruction—told through the stories of the great civilizations of ancient America. You may think you know all of the American cities. But did you know that long before New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Boston ever appeared on the map—thousands of years before Europeans first colonized North America—other cities were here? They grew up, fourished, and eventually disappeared in the same places that modern cities like St. Louis and Mexico City would later appear. In the pages of this book, you'll find the astonishing story of how they grew from small settlements to booming city centers—and then crumbled into ruins.

The fascinating story of a lost city and an unprecedented American civilization located in modern day Illinois near St. Louis While Mayan and Aztec civilizations are widely known and documented, relatively few people are familiar with the largest prehistoric Native American city north of Mexico-a site that expert Timothy Pauketat brings vividly to life in this groundbreaking book. Almost a thousand years ago, a city flourished along the Mississippi River near what is now St. Louis. Built around a sprawling central plaza and known as Cahokia, the site has drawn the attention of generations of archaeologists, whose work produced evidence of complex celestial timepieces, feasts big enough to feed thousands, and disturbing signs of human sacrifice. Drawing on these fascinating finds, Cahokia presents a lively and astonishing narrative of prehistoric America.

Born in France, Charnay (1828-1915) travelled extensively through commissions from the French government and with private patronage. He made several visits to the region between 1857 and 1886, producing in his work both a journal of his adventures and an archaeological examination of past civilizations. Beginning in Mexico, Charnay notably examines the ancient city of Tula and also the history of Yucatán, discussing aspects of Toltec and Mayan culture. He explores the ruins of Chichen Itza, Kabah and Yaxchilan (which Charnay dubbed 'Lorillard Town' after a benefactor), among many other settlements. Surveying art, pyramid architecture, ancient customs and history based on extant sources, this account was a major contribution in its field and remains of interest to scholars of Latin American archaeology.

Since the time of the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus the man credited for the discovery of the new world, the new comers to the world have observed and documented the things which they seen, heard and experienced. The new comers to this world saw the ruins of what appeared as intricately built ancient cities, observed strange yet familiar habits of the indigenous. It wasn't until the mid 19th century that archaeology was even taken serious in this land, yet it would seem as though it was not for the purpose of documentation and understanding of those of the past. 100 years or so earlier Sir Richard Colt Hoare coined the motto for Antiquarianism in Europe, We Speak from Facts not Theory and it would seem here in the Americas, John W Powell and Ephraim George Squire after the creation of the Smithsonian Institution, together reconstructed and change the purpose of the existence of Smithsonian with what would seem to be their motto, We Speak from Theory not from Facts.Since the days Smithsonian took a new path due to the influences of men such as Powell and Squire, thousands if not tens of thousands of artifacts and ruins have been dusted under the rug and or buried in the depths of Smithsonian, with a system of control and a constant threat of taking away their funding exist to this day over the heads of the Museums of this Nation. A threat of mockery and striping of ones title, destroying the ability of making a living in the archaeological world, hangs over the heads of many archaeologist today.The dictatorship of archaeology was now set up, the new religion of Atheism with its Bible of Manifest Destiny and Evolution, but what was the motive? Why would a group of men want to hide the history of this land? What was it that could have motivated the two sons of Methodist Ministers in Palmyra New York in 1830? I just can't put my finger on it.To this day thousands of unusual artifacts remain hidden in the basements of Museums across this land with no explanation as to why they cannot display them without the threat of loosing their funding. It would seem that of every claim of who came to this land first, all seem to forget that when they pushed their way onto the beaches of this new world, someone was peering at them from the bushes. Although not the first to come to this land, Europeans, Hebrew or Jewish and or Roman Jewish people, have been coming to this land as early as possibly 900 BC, and even then, someone was already here. Columbus knew this and so did all the others who followed him and preceded him, and those who funded the expeditions. Who were these people and how did they get here? Is there a written history of these people?It is my desire, not having this threat hanging over my head, to show you even a small portion of the amazing untold history of this land through photographic, archaeological, geographic, and scriptural evidence, legends, documentation of the past told by those who witnessed it, and just plain common sense. It is not my position that because an artifact find was not an "Official" archaeological excavation that we need disregard completely the evidence. Honesty and trust in a find is not inherent in the field of archaeology inclusively, it is within the men who make the find, and tell the story as it occurred. Just because it was not under the dictatorship of Smithsonian, does not make it any less credible, not in the slightest.The field of archaeology has come a long way since the days of the two sons of Methodist Ministers from Palmyra New York, and it seems to have stooped to a new low many would not have ever thought. Many archaeologist of today are fed up and disgusted with the muzzle that is forced upon them with a threat of loosing their livelihood should they stray from the curriculum and the seeming untold oath to it. It is what seems to be, an effort to destroy the concept of God in the mind of the people for the sake of the religion of Evolution.

With rare maps, prints, and photographs, this unique volume explores the dramatic history of the Americas through the birth and development of the hemisphere's great cities. Written by award-winning author David F. Marley, Historic Cities of the Americas covers the hard-to-find information of these cities' earliest years, including the unique aspects of each region's economy and demography, such as the growth of local mining, trade, or industry. The chronological layout, aided by the numerous maps and photographs, reveals the exceptional changes, relocations, destruction, and transformations these cities endured to become the metropolises they are today. Historic Cities of the Americas provides over 70 extensively detailed entries covering the foundation and evolution of the most significant urban areas in the western hemisphere. Critically researched, this work offers a rare look into the times prior to Christopher Columbus' arrival in 1492 and explores the common difficulties overcome by these European-conquered or -founded cities as they flourished into some of the most influential locations in the world.
