I am a retired professional Archaeologist of over 40 years myself and I appreciated your lecture. I live in the Mojave Desert and have worked in some areas containing some world heritage rock art pictographs and petroglyphs and some of the best sites dating back 12000 years ago, and habitation sites with bedrock mortars, pottery etc. We here in California have the same problems you have in trying to protect the resources.
I grew up in the Mojave Desert, still here, and between Barstow and Joshua Tree are some of the most impressive melted rock temples, each looking like it suffered a great cataclysmic event. The Rodman petroglyphs are a different story all together. Yet all around me mines are encroaching on my neighborhood, and these special areas. Bureau of Land Management allowed off-roaders to have annual races and year round use of the buttes and I watch them tear them apart. Two years ago some of them used hydraulic jacks to overturn the ancient structures to make their course easier to navigate. These people have no vision to see what they’ve destroyed. It’s killing me, and though I love this place, my home, I’m thinking of moving away now 😖
@@elvyrarendon2150 I agree. I live in Ridgecrest, have worked at Fort Irwin, and Twenty-nine Palms. Unfortunately, it is only going to get worse, what with more gold and now rare earth mining, and construction of solar farms. Most everyone view the Deserts as wastelands
This maybe the best lecture I've seen on southeastern prehistoric archaeology. This guy is doing great work and has a wealth of knowledge on this subject.
The same 2 Star Systems that were here 11.5 thousand years ago that caused the Great Flood and the sinking of Atlantis are in our skies as I type 3/24/22... Maybe if one has brains they will snap to all the bs goig on as I type...
16:44. Thats not an opossum. So tired of this kind of bs. They werent morons. They doesnt look like an opossum. Sooo lets see. A portal. Next to a demon. That makes sense to put in stone for future peoples. Portal next to opossum……wrong. I know you arent dumb so then what is the reason? Purposeful deceit? Not many other options buddy. And why is it only your ass gets to go in the caves. Ohhh protected now. Hmmm. I dont trust you at all. That demon boy Bs was very telling. Soo i guess thanks.
@@blackbearbear9313 exactly. I agree 100%. His attempt at misdirecting us from the truth with the portal demon serpent. Disrespectful to those who placed the messages to say the least and stealing history and warnings from mankind.
I think the mythological creature drawing the you talked about in the cave is what they call a dogman it has exactly the same attributes as eyewitnesses have described in our modern society. You mentioned pointed ears and talons (claws) bushy tail etc. There have been modern day encounters with this creature in the same area as this video covers. I'm from the Appalachian mountains in Virginia and I pretty much stayed in the woods and there are things that can't be explained by modern terms. Anyway you have done a great job with this video and I thank you
i live about 50 miles or so away from where history says the last white man was killed by an indian in 1689 , there is no mention of the last indian being killed by a white man, 🤔there are things in the woods everywhere that will prove that indians were here so long ago that even the indians dont know who or when things were built.Wheeling WV is a great xample of that.PA is also,KY is known by the blood that was shed fighting over land.There is a small museum in town that has no mention of native or indian ocupation at all although the evidence of it is all over the area i mean you have to be really blind to miss this stuff but there is no mention of it in school here AT ALL PERIOD. Its a coverup,because white ppl slaughtered them and have tried to erase them from the earth.and they are doing it again now in the form of construction.
5:40. This guy thinks he and his professional team of Prolapsed peepole are the only ones qualified and capable of penetrating caves like klaus doth with cabinets.
This is scary to think about, and the implications are at first devastating, well it seems that way. If a man is born ignorant, to parents that are ignorant, in a society that is ignorant, lives a life of ignorance and eventually dies in ignorance...ignorance is a norm. So indoctrination can be called education, hypnotism can be called entertainment, criminals can be called leaders and lies can be called truth, because his mind was never truly his own.
@@keepthechange2811 . The Bible is a complicated subject but without going into all of that it’s basically saying ( New Testament) that you should be a passive doormat in this life, “turn the other cheek”. But don’t worry “Jesus” is coming back to save you and make the world great again!! It was basically government propaganda that was at first aimed at the Jews but than became popular with the non Jews instead. Either way the government (Rome) got what they wanted out of it, control.
I LOVE archaeology and anthropology and wish I could have been one. I ended up in the Marine corps and afterwards I worked as a pipefitter welder. Great program thank you.
I mean no disrespect and in fact have much for military which is why I tell them the truth! Virtually ALL WARS are banker wars and based on a mountain of lies to enrich the elite. Don't throw away your life and sacrifice yourself for the evil warmongers!
At 21 minutes, you are looking at a melted building with compressed cooked red bricks, and the building had numerous arches. The water is most likely there because the old world plumbing is still working. Yes, the world was once very technological and had plumbing. We have been lied to people. Tens of thousands of people are researching this topic right now.

Having been away from East Tn for 60 years I found this most interesting in that my boyfriend and I would go into the caves ending in mud fights all those years ago. I even have a memory of seeing Watauga Lake being filled by TVA when I was 8 years. This lecture was wonderful reminding me of this very special area of the world. Thank you. Dr Franklin.
I once found a cave in Randolph County WV where I grew up, a back wall had huge pictures in it of spirals and hash marks. Towards the front of the cave, there were names and a date of 1791 scratched onto the wall, which I found odd, since the area had been recorded as being settled in 1793 at the earliest, with the cave area being setttled in the 1800s.
I grew up in a colony home of our county which used to be a mushroom farm. it was made of huge stones and the doors were gone. It had "Happy Hollow 1794" carved in the front above the doors. I know I'm not wrong about the date. But now, the local historical society says they can't find any photographs when I saw them in the museum when I was a kid. I feel like it's become personal now!😢
@justifIDtruism Do you remember where on a map it would be? Has the cave a name? Maybe you could find more (new Hx) on the cave today that someone has written in half truth. Best to us all as we live in the Worlds largest Fun house with labyrinths and magic mirrors and moving floors all very well painted and structure up to date but slowly the wallpaper is peeling and the light from beyond is peeking through the cracks in the mold, in the shape of a house which is only a square with a pyramid on top, soon to fall. We and others like us are creating a crevice large enough for more to escape… to climb the Giants beanstalk and see beyond the colors in the sky to far reaches of other lands where we came from. I sit here alone hopeful my grandkids are not far behind. Peace to you my friend thank you for sharing!! Today my husband brought to me a rock he found on a desert dirt road while peeing and it is filled with silver pieces and quartz. (He drives through the desert to work).
The perception of time has been manipulated to the historical narrative worldwide. Know any history of giants in NorthAmerica? What about advanced architecture prior to the pilgrims? There was tons of History here in The US. It's really nice to be able to recognize and acknowledge some of it from time to time
Check out the gation tunnels that might be spelled wrong but they're pretty cool and it's some pre-colonial sites with astrological designs layout of stones and burial Chambers. I think it's all tied to everything in the universe have you heard about people saying there was Giants before the colonists got here from Europe.? Humans that were like 8 to 12 ft tall and some saying they were 25 ft tall just makes you wonder
Oh please Virtue signalling at its worst In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it.
You mean the fake cave art that could be rubbed off with ease that is older than history? Very fascinating indeed how could it have lasted soooooo long! I know and I've seen the real story on it with and read old newspaper articles claiming they were faked and giving solid data to support it! Quit believing everything presented in history or society at large for that matter! The truth is never handed over freely its guarded and corrupted! Not that this lie is of much importance but our textbooks are riddled with lies make no mistake. If you think America is above altering history and teaching unproven theories as fact as well as pseudoscience your sorely naive and mistaken.

WoW great job it’s a pleasure listening to you. I’m traveling through time as you narrates the caves and discovered of our ancestors. I’m sure 5k 8k years ago the Amerindian from South America migrated to the north. Through the northern corridor. Must likely from Peru, Chile, Ecuador. Son on.even though the Inca empire wasn’t created at this time. It was enough of them back then. I wonder if the pottery found in these caves can be compare to epoch of the South. WoW even most interesting my other half ancestors the Spaniard passed by eastern Tennessee. Keep up the good work my friend!!
seems to me way to much has been hidden and made to stay that way but if ya really look into things you can see how things were going good till the white folks show up and spoil the party.
This is from 2013. I wonder if ETSU has any current studies on the Cherokee Giants, Their faces are so obvious in these mountains. If the Indians occupied this nation the year of Noah's flood, where are all the bodies? We had vast colonies, not only here, but all over the world. Way past time to address this. God bless you.
Enjoyed the lecture. As a Christian, amature archaeologist, what your finding that dates 3500+/- years is exactly what you should be finding. The Tower of Babel was about 3600 years ago and people were for the most part hanging out around it; so when God broke 'em up and they started to spread out, then East Tennessee 3500 years sounds right for them to get here in natural migration.
I have a rock that started my journey as an adult. I would love to float with you guys……. Everyone is drawn here….. I’m proud of my home……but have always been drawn to history being left for us to find and learn from our past history.
That first glyph in black with the circle and the pokey things coming off of it is exactly like one carved on a red sandstone wall on land my Grandfather homesteaded in San Juan County Utah
Believe me or not, I encountered a man in 1994 that was able to shapeshift from human form to other human forms. We were at a campsite off of Harrison Bay Rd in Harrison, Tn( just east of Chattanooga ) that was across the lake from the Sequoia Nuclear Power Plant. He had a very comforting aura which led us to having a conversation with him. He claimed to have been 250 + years old in his current body. It was such a mindblowing experience that we were unable to even begin to tell others of our encounter. Especially in the bible belt that we grew up in that would have simply been explained away as some type of evil entity. None of us, even never have met the man before, had any fear of him whatsoever. Hopefully someone who reads this has experienced something similar either in that area or somewhere in East Tennessee.
To detect? Old homes sites? Civil war? Do you want to detect also? It's fun digging relics mostly bullets come up and not for monetary gain although monetary gain could happen!
Archeologists in England always talk about crop marks appearing in fields, which tend to serve as an early indication of the location of settlement sites. Do these also appear in Tennessee?
My distant relative was General Sam Houston and in one of his periods of heavy drinking he lived with a Cherokee wife and I am fairly sure in Tennessee. I know that when he was young he taught school in E. Tennessee.
From what I understand Sam Houston was a Cherokee, in that he lived with them for some years and was made member the tribe. He spoke the language as well as a number of other native languages and was familiar with their customs/culture.
Thanks for sharing, I’m watching this 8 years later and really got into this. Can’t believe I didn’t find it earlier but am sure glad I at least found it now! Great presentation, very well done, thanks for sharing!! Also, here in OH we have The Ledges, not like this but it’s a vast system beautiful, interesting and I feel definitely worth take a day or two to explore! Happy Caving!
You don't seem to realize that gating sites is simply a way for archeologists to restrict access to the sites so that only other archeologists will ever see them. If these sites are so valuable to society, then why is society not permitted to enjoy them?
@@nobodyspecial4702 unfortunately there is a portion of the public that will destroy , for profit and or just out of the sick , twisted pleasure they get , these precious site's. ☹️

I was in the mountains of grande cache Alberta. I was searching for an Xmas tree at the time . My husband , my son & I . Watching where I was stepping , the weather got a bit warm and water was running under ice down the roadside . I did not want to go through the ice and get wet . As I was strolling and looking for a less wet oath to get to where my son was I noticed a foot print . No shoe , just a foot print …one … then I noticed about five feet or more , a small bush flattened next to the foot print was a huge wolf print ! I put my foot next to the footprint I had seen that resembled a persons foot . It was more than twice the length of my boot ( I wear a size seven ) and the width of that upper foot print was more than one boot size . This footprint was huge . I noticed the direction it was headed and it was fresh ! My son saw it . My husband backed the truck over it and I had no proof . My son was so scared he refused to talk about it and is convinced it was a bear print . It had no nail marks at the toes ! I’ve seen bear prints . A couple years after we moved away , a group of hunters were out snd saw what they said was a Bigfoot.
Hey let me tell you a secret you could have more than one light you could have the whole room lit up Oh I forget you’re only allowed one light you can light the whole cave up now that would take too much knowledge you have to be a smart person I can’t even watch this anymore it’s so stupid yeah you smart professors you got it really going good the illusion of the truth

What about flat earth the ultimate conspiracy of all? Check out Eric dubay I've been researching conspiracies for a long time now and I can assure the earth is flat and a divine creator(god) is real.

The concept of repent or hell and serve out of fear and this is the only way is all by design to hide the big picture and divide us naturally and make war!

In 1964-5 my grandmother and her new husband as my grandfather had passed at that time. In Clifton Tennessee behind her house we're caves with paintings and plenty of arrowheads did she find before she moved. There name was Horace and Mary Duncan. I don't remember a address to help but it was following the farm road to the Tennessee river besides their house. Possibly not standing today as I've tried finding it on Google.

I love Cumberland Gap area! What Are the “threshing rocks” you’re referring to? I am mesmerized by the Very unique mountains? To me, it looks like a massive earth adjustment happened and propped them up like fallen dominoes. So beautiful and mysterious to me. 😁I just found out about little Egypt waterfalls in Lafollette.
As for this "mythological creature", can someone include me as to how the native Americans, whom were allegedly not in contact with Eastern people nor Greek, and perhaps still would know how to leave either a warning or a record of what seems to be a horned, taloned creature of, perhaps, reptilian body, and so similarly resembling those many beings and creatures decidedly determined unreal, or fabled, make believe due to the fact that we are told that dragons never existed but can be found around the world in nearly all cultures, or at least a semblance of the dragon. Could it have been a creature that perhaps inhabited the cave and was killed or routed away from this place, or perhaps a creature which roamed the area to possibly return. This thing does not appear to be a very good traveling companion to guide one with the sun, seems more substantial, than spiritual, just a bit... But, alas, perhaps I be biased as well... Thank you for the great work to all involved.
Maybe that dragon was actually the sun and the fire was plasma. Petroglyphs of Squatter Man is all over the world. It is a plasma toroidal discharge. They follow the magnetic field lines. STEVE was, I think, the first plasma rope imaged. Red Sprites are now growing legs. New classifications of lightning. Plus our atmosphere is being compressed. If you get global images of Petroglyphs and go through them, you will find commonalities among them. ......... They find mammoths that still have undigested vegetation in the mouth and stomach. What is capable of flash freezing something that big on the spot. ....... But dragons could still be possible I guess, nothing is ever 100% , right? Maybe huge birds of prey that could catch an early man while he was outside at the pee tree. So yeah definitely dragon. Dragons would be huge right? So we actually have Dragons, capable of catching, and eating that dude. Or bring him back to the nest alive. Fresh food is needed for the Baby Dragons , and it is organic food. Now it seems that you have convinced me on Dragons. It is only logical. They say nothing exists until it is observed, and the act of observation changes what was observed. Now when you go to sleep, I want you to dream of manbearpig. An effective dream of manbearpig. Sleep well ....Antwerp....
In my local area of WV the official historical record indicates that this area was nothing more than a hunting ground. That may have been the case at the time the white man began encroaching, but previously it was absolutely occupied. Because of my job I visit hundreds of customers in rural areas, even some in their 90s whos grandparents also lived on that land. Many were reluctant at first but after getting to know me they've opened up and showed me beautiful collections. The number of mounds and other sites is astonishing. Barely any record of any of it. Within 20 min in different directions I have mounds, petroglyphs, camps, and many suspected sites near large bends in creeks and rivers. I have been given permission by a few to come look around but have never had time.
very true! i am in wv also where is your neck of the woods . i have things i cannot id and need help with some seem to be so old that no one knows or will ever be able to find out . email me and i will show you and maybe you can share pic of things you have found.

@@stephenkessel1990 I'm in the Clarksburg area myself, but work mostly the western edge of clarksburg out to the pennsboro area, and this is where the sites are that I'm familiar with.Most of it being just south of 50.

Know folks who have axes, stone bowls, lots of nutting stones, celts,pipes etc. All found on their own properties. I should use my time out of work for an injury to be out hunting but have life going on at the moment. Just drives me crazy that people believe this area was not occupied.

My dad's side of the family settled the Appalachians and founded the U.S.A and fought in the American Revolution and American Civil War and the Native American that we know of in the family were Cherokee in the 1700s from Tennessee.
It upsets me more that archeologists gate sites so that nobody is allowed to see them. If these sites are so valuable to society, then society should be allowed to visit them. We don't deny the public access to modern art or museums, but nobody thinks twice about preventing access to ancient art sites. As it is now, most ancient sites are restricted so the populace are never going to see any of them and we only get to see photographs that archeologists decide to share.
@@nobodyspecial4702 ...Did you miss the graffiti over the ancient art? Most modern art and all museums are inside buildings, you can't get in past visiting hours and generally have lots of security. They can't do that for most ancient art sites and can't trust people not to ruin them for various reasons. Infact the famous cave paintings of Chauvet, Altamira and Lascaux are at least partly closed to visitors because people simply breathing near them was causing, Lichens, mold, moss and crystals to grow on them.
@@MWhaleK Completely miss the point, did you? A select group of individuals have been given the ability to stop everyone except the people they choose from seeing these sites because they claim they are saving them for the future. The future in which nobody gets to see them except the select group of individuals. What's the point in protecting something that NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO SEE AND ENJOY? Under those circumstances, it doesn't matter if they exist or not.
So that we don't dig without particular research questions very particular that if we don't get the answers to what do you mean we always get the exact answers we looked for it that's why we made the particular questions so we can answer those with the research
Understand that the TVA mentioned has buried and flooded many sites. These people need their permission to be on TVA allocated lands so they don't mention it.
