Heritage Key is off to a busy start in 2010 and we are pleased to announce our exciting new web event and content series the Ancient World in London. Starting at the end of January 2010, the project is sponsored exclusively by Addison Lee, London's largest minicab service. During 3 months online we will inspire people to set out for adventures and make their own great historical discoveries either live in London or online. 

The city of Cahokia is the latest ancient site to go virtual, thanks to a reconstruction and online map published.

Ancient Cahokia was a Mississippian city that flourished between 1000 -1400 AD. At its peak, in the early 13th century, it had a population between 10,000 and 20,000 and covered nearly six square miles. This makes it larger than London ca. 1250 AD.

It had about 120 mounds during this time, some used for burial, others for religious purposes. It also had palisades, communal plazas, houses and fields full of crops.
