Okay -- we're all ignorant in our own ways, right? But you could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw the reconstruction of the Cahokia mounds outside of Collinsville, IL. The mounds hid an Indian settlement, which looked astonishingly similar to the Mayan temples.
This photo from art inside the interpretive center isn't great -- we barely made it to Cahokia with time to view the interpretive center. But you can see the images that look like the Mayan temples. Cahokia was the largest city north off Mexico, at the time it was inhabited.
