A few years ago we watched an episode on the History channel. Where they talked about a possible Mayan-American Connection. In this episode they wanted to film an ancient village in Northeast Georgia they believed could be connected to the Mayans, but was denied access by the USFS. With the help of a map from Georgia we found this place. Both the Creek and Cherokee Indians used names for the province around Track Rock Gap than mean “Place of the Itza.” Join us as we explore it...

Guys . . . guess what? When you were at the very top of the mountain at the cliffs, you were at the royal burials. There are over a hundred hand dug tombs up there. The openings are sealed with quarried rocks laid with clay mortar. The mortar was plastered with green, white and red stucco . . . but the designs are no longer discernible. The snake effigy is just to the north of the lower plaza of the acropolis. Oh, I and I am an architect-city planner . . . not an archaeologist. Seriously doubt that most of the Georgia archaeologists, I have encountered would even have had the SAT scores to get into Georgia Tech's College of Architecture. LOL They certainly don't know about our (Creek Indians) cultural history. Good job . . . like all the humor.

Wow I wish we would have known that about the Royal Burial spots. We would have spent more time investigating up there. Going up that hill again though... oh man I'm out of breath just thinking about it. haha We want to go back and try to film more in the future and find the snake effigy. We couldn't believe how massive of a site it was and how no one seems to know about it, or cares to investigate it. For some reason I thought I heard you were an Archeologist(Maybe I heard Architect and my brain said Archeologist) sorry for the mix up. You might as well be though with the research and studying you have done on the History of the Indians, and this site. It looks like the Academic community would be all over this. Your doing what they should be and in my book that makes you the real deal and a Pioneer. Thanks for paving a way for the rest of us amigo.

It doesn't take an educated idiot with a station wagon full of PHDs or a cool misleading name to realize the Creeks living in the Southeast of the United States were influence by peoples from that came from central Americas. The Cherokee would never have made it close to the Tennessee River and into North Georgia in the early to mid 1700s if it wasn't for English settlers and their Carolina militias. The copper plate viewed during time frames 0:42 to 0:46 was found in Cartersville, Georgia at the Etowah Mounds and that was made by the Mississippian culture, a Muscogee and later known as Creek people. A person would have to be blind as a ding bat if they could not notice that piece was influenced by Native people from the central Americas. I am also sure You never heard of the Buzzard Cult or at least the Bird or Spider Cult/Clan that lived in the mountains and foothill of North Georgia and the western Carolines. Then again that what happens to someone that depends on their state/Federal government financed public school education or lack there of. What gets me is there were archaeologists like Dr Joseph Mahan that knew more about the Native people without digging a spoon of dirt and stepping on one leave than those today that have move tons and lost mountains.

I'm also Cherokee and there is a Cherokee Sacred Stone out East. Judaculla or something like that. It has hundreds of glyphs on it. No one can make sense of it, but legend has it. A Big hairy man from the west, came and stayed with the tribe for awhile, and then left. Somehow they revered this big hairy guy lol. Few people seem to know about it. Even the locals. It is however out in the sticks, mountains and only one road to it. It's just a rock along side a creek, near a fault line the Cherokees used as trails. It would be interesting to see the markings on those rocks you guys visited. I couldn't really make out anything. Should have poured water over them. I'd like to compare the symbols. You'd have a damn good clue who actually carved it.

The Mayan disappeared in the late 800ad and our "mississippian " culture arose in the early 900s.

These kind of stone walls are found anywhere in the US especially in the Appalachian Mountains. Typically they are from farmers plowing fields, finding rocks and moving the rocks out of the fields. Oftentimes they were used as property line delineations as well. Closer look in these areas may also reveal holes with stone walls around them which were most likely Cellars or basements under houses. Not sure the Indians built these.

I've seen many places like this even not far from Atlanta; always wondering who and when stacked the stones where stacked. Same thing - with some long fence/barrier like stacks, and a whole lot of random rock piles that someone had to have purposely stacked. Its certainly possible that natives or even settlers just stacked them to keep farming (idk if it's possible to tell from moss or something if they've sat there for a couple hundred or couple thousand years). A possibility I havent heard before but might make sense is that they were used as cover in battle. Of course the burial thing. Idk, sure would like to know, surprised there hasn't been more scientific research into them. Never noticed carvings though, but will pay a little more attention next time I go to one of those spots

Years ago, I took my kids to Fort mountain, and I vaguely remember seeing a ceremonial ?stone wall/circle ?built by a similar tribe? of Indians. Actually, I don't remember if there were any petyroglyphs or carvings/drawings on these rocks. Since I am from Louisiana, I have also visited Poverty point which is a World Heritage site. Since it is located near a waterway, Historians believe this was huge cultural hub for trade among the mound Indians scattered along the Mississippi river area/valley. Rocks found there that were non indigenous to the area as well as many other artifacts .I am wondering how much contact or trading might have occurred w/ this NE tribe nestled deep in the mountain woods? It was by a creek and water way and those tree & rock signs(similar to street signs)might have helped navigate other Indians for trade? All so fascinating.

Interesting, guys. I spent my childhood clearing land for fields on the family farm in S Ga and arrowheads and other artifacts were so numerous we’d toss back on the ground. A few years back I found a petrified dugong (fresh water manatee from when the area was underwater)skeleton in a creek on the property. There is a trail across a ridge of wooded acreage that as a boy my dad drove cows to the Flint River that bordered the property during the summers to graze and retrieved them before winter. He always called it the old Indian trail. The 5th generation of family farmer has recently given up on farming and the farm is now used basically as a playground for family and friends and a few cows and other assorted animals. Treasures still turn up pretty frequently. Rocks and lighterd stumps were thrown over last 150 years in piles on fence lines. As those fence lines shifted piles were pushed into gullies.

Thanks you guys for sharing that. I've been studying it from afar for a good year now. I totally enjoyed watching. Have you heard about the nuclear testing facility in Dawsonville forrest? After having a meltdown in the 50s they closed up shop and abandoned it. Apparently the site is still radioactive. It looks like another interesting explore. There's rumors about mutant animals like two headed deer and things. Again thanks for the video. 😃

@@peopleofonefire9643 , I bought property along Cochran creek that backs up to the National Forest and about 6 miles from Amicalola. This past winter I was exploring and found two sites of stacked stones; I was unable to determine what it could be. I’ve also seen many marker trees in the area. Also along my property there are many trails, that look like game trails….but strangely every few yards there are white quartz rocks that look like they mark the paths…or they rolled down the mountain and just so happen to stop there due to the paths being level. Also one of my neighbors told me to watch out for old mines… So I don’t know if the stacked rocks are Cherokee related or miner related?

You need to research " the Silver City Turtle". ( south of there, between Cumming and dahlongega) A large carved rock turtle. Not a pertoroglyph on rock, but a detailed carved stone statue of obvious great age. Soon after it was discovered some archaeologists came and took it. I have heard that it is in storage somewhere at at UGA. They were unusually secretive about it. Hard to find info.

That would be a great feature to be able to post photos in the comment section. I just looked up "Tibet Rock House" on Google. I have never seen one before, but would have to agree that is probably what they looked like. When I was out there I was aww struck by this place. It's just terrace after terrace and old foundations, so much so that I had about 2 hours worth of footage but had to edit it down for video length sake. The more I research into this whole Mayan-American idea. I could definitely see a connection. Whats interesting is both the Creek and Cherokee Indians used names for the province around Track Rock Gap that means “Place of the Itza.” Here is Richard Thornton talking about his experience with this place in North Georgia (once you click keep scrolling down to read) spark.adobe.com/page/hrIy00M1ROqfW/

Terraces just do not normally loose their top soil in a few years as stated by the local guy doing the guiding. It likely took a lot of work to build them and to maintain them. But they can get abandoned due to wars and epidemics. The Cherokees dealt with the British and were supplied with firearms to aid their slaving activities; this is more likely what caused the abandonment of those terraced fields. The mayans civilization suffered from factors that made it decline: ''When was the Mayan civilization abandoned? In archaeology, the classic Maya collapse is the decline of the Classic Maya civilization and the abandonment of Maya cities in the southern Maya lowlands of Mesoamerica between the 7th and 9th centuries.'' Perhaps that is when they migrated to what is the now the Southeastern USA.

We have had several Archeologist look including the Scott Walter from the history channel say this is a very significant sight. It is the biggest arborglyph sight in the east of America and the Cherokee and Creek hold this place very sacred. Miles not just a small area... Miles and Miles of huge Terraces and foundations of an old village. The Creeks also know it as the place of the Itza... Ranger needs to go back to school and study history/archeology and not just biology of the Forest. You were probably on to something Andrew with what you saw, don't let the small minds deter you from from great finds. My dad back in the 70's went down the back side of Fort Mountain, GA and found stacked pyramids 6ft high and about 20 of them 5 in a row. He went back and told the Ranger thinking it would be a big discovery. He said the Ranger rolled his eyes and said, "oh ok thanks" and set back down in his chair to work on papers. Pioneers usually are solo against the World, and once they pave a way here comes everyone else.

@juliaingeorgia

Mr Thornton has done extensive research and exploration in the area. The color called Mayan Blue requires an ingredient not easily found in Mexico but plentiful here. There was trade that occurred back and forth between GA and The Mayans of Mexico. The glyphs and language of the Creeks are linked directly to their Mayan connections. These factors cannot be negated.

Where are the other "artifacts" from the "site"? Most of those trees look to be less than 100 years old and old timers looted all the good sites long ago. Were is the artifact assemblage? Until that happens this site is only protohistoric or historic terracing and stone clearing.

Might those stone walls simply be terraces created as Farmers were attempting to clear their fields of rocks and prevent erosion. The terraces follow the contours of the hillside. The stacked stones are most likely chimney foundations from homes. The stone carvings are most certainly prehistoric and Native American.....all but where someone carved their initials.... but I have strong reservations about rest of the items being constructed prior to 1800.
