Thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans, there was a man who was celebrated by numerous ancient Americans. In the chapter he was given the name Sun Falcon. Sun Flacon was said to be a great political and spiritual leader. He was buried at Cahokia, the biggest ritualistic site in ancient North America. Not much is known about this man, but the small amount of information there is came from archeological findings. Archaeologists were able to conclude many things from Sun Falcons grave that helped them understand the basic characteristics of ancient Americans who controlled America until 1492. Historians and Archaeologists are both terms used to describe a profession in which one seeks to learn more about the past. Both use artifacts as sources of information. The difference between them is that archaeologists use physical objects to help them obtain information, while historians use mostly written documentation to look for the same information. Writing is a system of symbols used to keep note of verbal language. It originated in places like China, Egypt, and Central America nearly 8,000 years
