Timelines: Rapa Nui, Mississippian Culture, and Great Zimbabwe - TAS 306
This week, Timelines returns to The Archaeology Show! We have always been fascinated by the Moai heads found on the island of Rapa Nui, so we used them to anchor this episode to 1100-1600 BCE. At the same time, the Mississippian culture in North America was building giant mounds and the Great Zimbabwe in Africa were building remarkable stone structures. In this episode we discuss these 3 distinct cultures that thrived during the same time period, in very different places.
