The First American “Egypt” Was in the Ohio Valley

The First American “Egypt” Was in the Ohio Valley uncovers a forgotten chapter of North American history preserved in maps, rivers, and earthworks. Drawing on 18th- and 19th-century records, this eBook reveals how early explorers and settlers recognized the Ohio–Kentucky–Tennessee region as an “Egypt” of the New World—marked by fertile floodplains, powerful rivers, and monumental Indigenous mound civilizations. Using verifiable cartography, archaeological evidence, and historical accounts from the Library of Congress and other archives, this volume restores a buried understanding: America possessed its own ancient, river-based civilization long before modern narratives erased it.
