The remains of the most sophisticated native civilization north of Mexico are preserved at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site. Within the 2,200-acre tract, located a few miles west of Collinsville, Illinois, lie the archaeological remnants of the central section of the ancient settlement that is today known as Cahokia.

Thank you, Jackson.

Greek temples honored specific gods and goddesses, and now research by professor Gregory Retallack, author of Soils of the Past, suggests that even the soil under such buildings held spiritual significance.

The discovery could help explain why writers like Homer and Plato wrote of "divine soil" and soil that can affect a person's soul. It may also explain how the ancients selected locations for their sacred buildings.



Some of the 84 soil samples taken by Gregory Retallack, a professor of geology at the University of Oregon, at Greek temple sites dating to the Classical Age from 480 to 338 B.C. Based on analysis of each sample, he created a profile for the soils naming their characteristics and how they might have been used at the time.

Music of chess. Where well-thought-of moves turn into shifting shapes and sounds.
Thanks, Antonio.
