Good 2 see Cherokee people still going,I'm a Navajo.Bless u all.

[@NancyDunton-hb9ir]

I have blood type O, I have Cherokee heritage from the TRAIL Of TEARS. My Paternal great great grandfather ( documented from rolls) was on the TRAIL. my paternal grandmother was from the Echota area( Cherokee capital). My ancestor returned to The Bryson City, NC area( gravesite). Where I grew up on a farm in Hall county was a Cherokee rondoveau point on the intersection of creeks. We have in the past found stone tools and arrow heads of stones(quartz) from the Ellijay area. The white rondoveau point was a mile West. I was fortunate too live on this site. If we don't preserve our history , it will be lost.

The Americas is the TRUE home of Old World! 😁 Pyramidal earth mounds is what you'd expect to find as the ancient American engineers and architects experimented with architectural techniques and geopolymers. Eventually building the incredible and numerous pyramidal structures and stone complexes. Ancient "Egyptian" artifacts, sculptures, and reliefs. Indigo grows here and is used to make reddish, purple, and bluish dyes. Corn and pineapples depicted in ancient Mediterranean art. "Meso-Potamia" -> "Meso-America". So much more... The Americas is the TRUE home of the Old World!! 😁

The Mississippians did not come from Central or South America. The culture evolved on the Mississippi River and spread throughout the Southeast and the lower Midwest. There was some migration/movement of people, but in some places, the rise of Mississippi culture centered on the borrowing of Mississipian ideas that came into Georgia through trade. The Ocumulge element in this video is filled with errors.

Man...I think we can all agree that humans have been artistic since.the day we learned to walk, right? So why (yes, it bothers me) do we have to say that everything that was built so long ago has to do with either religion or for ritualistic use? Our people didn't have paper or markers, helll most didn't even have paint. If I lived back in the day and wanted to express myself or be artistic, and all I had available was rocks and sticks, I'd used that. Please, science people, stop overthrowing things so much. 😅

This documentary looks like 15 years old. That technology was not really used back then. But they might now.

[@KelciaMarie1]

I love how they very confidently say "this is what they did!" Okay... how do you know? Where in the archeological record does it show that the wives of the chief were murdered upon his death? Or that the priest would run out of his house and yell at the sun first thing in the morning? This is a useful and interesting documentary, specifically because so many Georgians have no idea about most of these sites. That said, this is very dated. There's a lot of stuff that would be done differently in a modern documentary. This is a good jumping off point, but it needs work

[@noahinson]

Note that the Mississippian people WERE NOT from Mexico. The Mississippian people were indigenous to what is now the eastern United States. There were migrations throughout the Mississippian period, but they were mostly confined within the boundaries of the eastern woodlands. The Mississippian culture was developed by the ancestors of modern day indians, like the Osage, Cherokee, Muskogee, Choctaw, and Shawnee. Their stories tell us a lot about the world their ancestors lived in.

[@getinit56]

This video left out a lot. Mostly what was discovered in the last 2 decades by the university of GA. It is now believed that a lot of our , "natives", were Mayan. Mayan Blue was found among Cherokee sites and an entire Mayan city that the government won't let anyone excavate, because it is on a military base.

[@noahinson]

@@getinit56 That is a wildly outlandish claim that would need to be supported by decades and decades of evidence from dozens of peer-reviewed papers. Mayan peoples have distinct cultural identities that have nothing to do with the southeastern indians.

They have a rock with Mayan script on it, found in northern Georgia, on a lawn outside of a library. They very well documented the finding of Mayan blue, and if you are half as smart as you pretend to be? You would understand how that only comes from one place.

[@STEVEN-STEELE]

This very well could be where the Mayan people came to when they left Central America. If you look at the depiction of the man dressed as an eagle. Pictographs almost exactly the same are found in Central America. The thing held up in his right hand is a weapon just like the warriors used in Central America. A flat wood paddle with either flint or obsidian flakes along its side. The thing in his left hand is the head of a vanquished enemy. The Pictographs are to similar to be a coincidence. One of the biggest things that say this happened is the languages of the tribes in Georgia. The Creeks in the Chattahoochee River Valley spoke a language that was I forgot the percentage, but it was 85 to 95 percent the same. There is a mound area that is the exact footprint of the Serpent pyramid city in Central America. It has the Serpent pyramid structure but is made from earth and not stone. Put the pathway leading up it. Follows its stone twin perfectly. I live in Alabama on the Chattahoochee river. I found a huge chunk of obsidian when I plowed a garden. Luckily, it turned up within a chunk of dirt and was not shattered by the tillers' tines. It had been worked well it was probably a core stone, and blades and other things were flaked off as it was bigger than my fist. I took it to a geologist and was told this type of obsidian does not come from the southeast. It only exists in Central America and west of the Rockies. This could be only a sign of trade happening. But with the Temple areas the same the language being nearly the same. Its likely this is where the Maya people came after they abandoned their cities in Central America. Of course, some stayed there. One other thing is of importance to the idea this was the case. The color called Maya Blue that found in a special clay was used so very much by the people. It was used on Temple walls and is very strong as some remains on these temples. They covered the children and adults they sacrificed into the deep water filled holes found there called cenote. Have this paint as much as 4 feet thick on the bottom of the cenote. This pigment is not found in large enough amounts in Central America. It is found, however, in very large amounts in the Chattahoochee River Valley. Of course this was probably where they traded for this clay. But it put this area of Georgia on the map of the maya people.If it was important for them to need it for use in their sacrifices, usually for the rain to make the corn crops grow. Then perhaps they came here because of its abundance. However, once they made it here, they would of learned such sacrifices were not needed due to the amount of rain that falls in the area annually. The people already here, if im correct, did not sacrifice children though they probably did people caught from waring tribes

Also, petroglyph are different. Religious practices different (as you said). Water levels were higher during this period of time and that would limit migration.

📚 The Pan-handle of Florida, Eastern Georgia, Eastern Tennessee , and North Carolina have far more to reveal of the N American Authentic Ancient History. The practice of the "Mainstream Academics" which developed in the late 19th Century and continued over the 20th to present in this 21st Century is a subject that requires "it's own History Timeline; including the individual Academics, Researchers, Funding Sources, and relative Subjects , for understanding the Facts that created their "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline", used as the "foundation of facts" and then further used as a "tool of measure", with which to accept that which fit within and supported the "Theory based Paradigm", or reject that which didn't. This includes: Oral or Written Records and History, Artifacts of Human and Animal Skeletal Remains, Pottery, Figures of Humans and Animals, Tools, Weapons, Personal care items, Materials, Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry, Carved Writings on Rock, Petroglyphs , Hieroglyphics, Toys, various unidentified objects, and more. This History requires an Audit to clarify the departure from the "Standards of Science and Research" and "Standards of Academic Ethical Practices", both supporting the "Individual Professional Freedom of Thought", necessary for Authentic Ethical Practices which is Required to ensure the highest accuracy and to support the continued Discoveries. The "Standards of Science and Research" in summary, directs the Academic/Researcher to: "With Mind fully Open, free of any predetermined Beliefs, Theories, Opinions, ......... and allowing the Research Methodologies to extract the greater facts." Additionally, the practice of Academics and Researchers were trained to establish a habit of being: "Conscious in Thought" + "Applying Higher Mind" (Where all our Positive Thought Energies and Wisdom reside) (the "Lower Mind aka Ego Mind aka Adolescent Mind" holds all the "negative thought energies: fear, prejudices, judging, accusations, insecurities, jealousy, envy, etc.), those traits that have no value in the Ethical and Mature Minded Academic Practice. The "Standards of Science and Research" prohibits using a Theory as Fact, further, to threaten peers with/through Public or Covert Gaslighting breaches conduct becoming an Authentic Academic. Behaviors that display accusations, name calling, and ridiculing of Academics who have established data, theories, and/or findings, that suggest an "Alternative to the Mainstream Academic Paradigm" are inappropriate on multiple levels and demonstrate their own needs for realignment in Academic Practices. In the practice of Research and Discoveries it requires that the Individual remains "Humble", realized in the practice that "any thing is possible" so as to not "assume" and thus detail the potential of fact finds and Discoveries. This "Mainstream Academics" practice has derailed Authentic Findings and Discoveries and at present there are countless subjects that include "Peer Reviewed and Journal Published Science Findings" which have been ignored because they demonstrate the inaccuracies of the current model and Paradigm of "Mainstream Academia". It does not meet Academic Standards to use a Belief Based Practice. In this now era the facts have been and are continuing to quickly emerge which requires the tasking of a History review and Audit of the practice and the content of that which is taught as History. To ignore this will not result in its disappearance, rather it will merely delay the inevitable. "Authentic Academics" adhere to the "Standards of Science and Research".

Agreed. It seems to me that these "historians" neglect to consider that the Americas is the true home of the Old World. These "historians," by the thousands, learn the history they were given, and then consensus stands in as evidence for their claims and assertions. When they said the Smithsonian excavated a mound in 1861, I cringed and felt sick because that history is likely gone forever.

[@marlinwicks3500]

Regarding the shell rings, I'd like to add to the two half-baked theories put forth. A third theory is that they were farming shellfish, such as oysters, and using the shells as an important ingredient for high-strength geopolymers... and just to make these historians more comfortable with the idea, I'll suggest that these geopolymers were used to build the ever popular "fortifications and religious temples."
