Fort Mountain state Park - Moon Eyed People - Ancient Rock Wall - Fire Tower + Overlook
In this one we take a trip to Fort Mountain State Park in Chatsworth, Georgia to take a hike and see it’s points of interest. The most prominent being an ancient stone wall fortification in which Fort Mountain gets its name. Not much is known about this rock wall or the pits surrounding it other than it is over 1000 years old. It’s origins are often attributed to the Spanish, the confederate army, a prince of wales, the Cherokee, and often a fair skinned blue eyed ancient people known as the Moon Eyed People. This group of people were said to war with the Cherokee and Creek tribes and many believe they either built the fort or the fort was built to fend off an attack by them. The moon eyed people could not see well in the day as their fair eyes did not do so well in sunlight so they were practically nocturnal. They would often have beards and their eyes blue and glossy and they spoke a strange language. Many people believe them to be descendants of Welsh immigrants brought by Prince Madoc around the year 1100 A.D although there is not strong evidence to support any theory. A few people even believe the moon eyed people were actually extraterrestrial aliens not from earth in the slightest. Others believe Hernando De Soto and his men built it but there is doubt that he was even in the area long enough or at all to build it. Nobody truly knows where the stone wall on Fort mountain comes from and perhaps we never will but still it makes for a cool story.
Other points of interest would be the fire tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corp and the overlook on the mountains western peak. I document the hike as well.

Find this gentleman a home and his dog So sad
I was just there last week ,where is Dickie Betts ? He is not buried at Rose Hill with the rest of the brothers.
Unfortunately his burial details are private at this time
ayyy i was the one who was duck taped to the other dude. i was the one with the megaphone hoopin and hollerin
Hey that’s my friends trailer park he is the great grandson of W.C rice he repaints everything once a year and we ride dirtbikes there all the time it’s a cool place
That’s pretty awesome ! Would be cool to do an interview and video on his legacy. If ever in the area and you think he would be interested I would be up for it
@@adventuresofmoonman next weekend we are more than likely going to be riding dirtbikes there I’ll let you know what time would be best we would love to do an interview!
@@CutGrassGoFast Would have to be a later date as I’ll be in Maryland next week. We will find a way to get in touch sometime. Any way to get in touch ?
Yeah I would love to do an interview
@@dawsonrice5919 wsp still wanna ride next weekend
Glad you came through where I live I wish they could fix that place up.
For what it’s worth I was told to expect worse than what I saw
@@adventuresofmoonman it's not too bad but you can tell the age of the place they tore some buildings down most of them really need to be torn down and new ones built
Wow, that was a while since I've seen such horrendous dinosaurs and prehistoric animals statues ! Did Dinosaur World stayed stucked in the 70's or what ? lol I suppose they don't have that much money to update them. I guess it could be fun for people who are clueless about dinosaurs, but for that's defenitively a place to avoid for people like me ^^'
@@foxxtitan7028 okay
There was a girl who was with the 2 guys at the time of the murders
Any positive comments will be shared with Marty next time I see him so drop them below ⬇️ Feel free to ask questions
14 years old back in 1981 cruzzing in my older brothers 1966 chevy impala ss 327 on the blvd checking.out the chicks n listening to oldies here in northern calif san jose 🇺🇲
Long live the 80s man !
Seems like an okay guy who just couldn't catch a break . God bless him .
He is a very interesting guy! I always enjoy talking with him. Thanks for watching
43 years ago? At what point can we say he’s right where he wants to be?
You could spread a lot of Mayonnaise with that knife!

I had heard of Jim Key before. What a beautiful memorial site to him and the humans that loved him. If I ever get down to Shelbyville I would like to visit there. Thanks for the video. 🌞❤️🐴🐕
Thank you very much !

I've been here a few times between 2017 & 2021 while on the road between Rhode Island and Florida, we always stopped here for souvenirs and I remember seeing the old amusement park (just a ferris wheel and bumper cars I think). It's kinda like a little town, and I recall stopping for gas over there last time I went through there!
@@Laserashton Who knows if that little amusement park will ever reopen. One can only hope. I have plans to return one day and attempt to finally get to go in the sombrero tower. Safe travels
First time i drove from Florida to Rhode Island around christmas time last year and i didnt know what all this shit was about. One thing for sure is that i encountered a bunch of white folks giving my mexican ass a weird ass look. Lol
Can you sleep in your car at the free parking?
@@jokesonyou5629 yea that’s typically what I do
@@adventuresofmoonman thank you. im going this is my 1st time and im doing it last min. Trying to find out how it works so the 230 is it ill be good bring food water
Can’t wait to see more of these, this series seems awesome. It’d be cool to hear what some of there favorite songs are since this will span through many generations and cultures
@@luciusstout91 I’ll be sure to ask. Have another one filmed and filming a third next Tuesday
thanks, moonman!

Portugal and Spain the only two nations in the world who evangelized Christianity and make known the name of our lord Jesus Christ the true God man over seas to the pagan nations who used to worship idols and sacrificed their children to Baal, praise to you lord Jesus Christ king of endless glory, it’s unfortunate that most Americans they don’t look deep how Christianity spread out over Europe including the americas 🙏❤️🙌🇵🇹🇪🇸

Welcome to the sixties. When you got to the Florida border you got free o.j.
On the I-75 route through Georgia you still can get OJ when you enter Florida. Georgia used to give you a bottle of Coca Cola but they stopped that
Nice video! I visited Pasaquan about a year ago, but it looks like they have done more restoration since then. The caretaker there told me about the website spacesarchives.org. You may already know about this website, but I found it is a good place to find more locations like Pasaquan, or even less traveled ones. They also host a Pasafest once a year in the Spring. I haven't got to attend yet, but I hope to go sometime in the future.
I haven’t heard of that but I’ll check it out. And I have plans to attend pasafest and film it sometime in the future. Who knows maybe next year I will. Thanks for watching
So glad you made it there. I loved this place and to see something so bizarre like that was absolutely great. I did a video there awhile ago and you'll be surprised what you find the second walk through. So much to see and the work it took to build this place is unreal. Cool beans... HG
This is another place I’ve wanted to visit for at least a decade and I finally did it and it did not disappoint. I still have a few things to post from my Alabama and Georgia trip and I leave out in a couple days to head somewhere new and film. Safe travels man
@@adventuresofmoonman Sounds cool man. I've loved Pasaquan for years. Dunno if you've seen my video from there a while ago but it was a good one as well. What's funny is both our videos and thumbnail design mention "Inside the Mind of St. EOM. Weird? It's like we were thinking the same thing or maybe St. EOM's telepathically saying thanks for keeping his creation alive and promoting his art here in the future. It's such a beautifully weird and wonderful spot and I tell folks about it all the time. I felt at total peace while I was there. It's hard to explain. Loved the Vulcan statue video as well man. I've been wanting to do a tour of that area for years. Safe travels. HG
@@HighwayGhost thanks man I appreciate it! And I always try to pick the brain so to speak of the artist in question. He was an interesting man and one with a very unique personality and outlook on things. I was honored to tour his creation
5:25 I’ve been to this place, And I also collect billy bass
Very cool! Thanks for watching:)
Very cool last time I was there 8 or 9yearold maybe
That’s awesome man !
Man I was working in DC last year and drove back and forth from my home in FL to DC all the time and would always pass this late at night. Going to NY tomorrow going to head out early to check this out.
Hope you enjoy it! Such an old piece of roadside gold. Let me know if the sombrero tower is open as it’s better known for being always closed the past 2 decades.
Awesome! 🥜
Thanks
Saw mine and my homies tents crowd surfing haha
Heck yea man whoop
Heck yea man whoop
@@adventuresofmoonman whoop whoop MCL
Great video!
Thank you
Glad you got to visit Hank. I've been there a few times and did videos at just about all the spots I could while in the areas he was in during his life and death. I plan to visit a few more I've found and do videos there as well. He's truly a legend and gone too soon. I actually had planned to do a video at the Hank Williams Museum, but wasn't allowed to. Then you go on here and see the more "privileged You Tubers" getting a full open door to film and they're not even fans, but social media famous. What's up with that? They did allow me a rare photo option with his death car Cadillac which I did. I'm a true Hank Williams fan that couldn't film that iconic piece of his life's history. I often wonder how much good music he'd given us if he had only lived a full life. It's bitter sweet to think about. By the way, the museum isn't even owned by his family, however, the car is on lone by Hank Jr., there's no way Bocephus would let anyone get there greedy hands on that iconic car and I'm glad the family still owns old Hank's car at least. Great place full of cool stuff to see and a fun gift shop. HG
I visited the museum and loved it. Was a bummer that they do not allow filming or at least for no names like me but still the place is so well done and I feel blessed to have seen it. Hank was, is, and will always be THE MAN in my eyes. Thanks for watching:)
Yeah dude, he was
Very cool
Cool indeed. Thanks
So glad you were able to meet the artist. Great video!
Thank you he was an interesting man
I want to go I’m definitely decided
It’s always a fun time
It’s a blast. Come join us this year!
Wonderful video! Love seeing creators visiting folk artists
It’s one of my favorite things to do, only thing is most the time when I visit these places the artist isn’t there lol. I got lucky this time
whoop whoop i saw me in this mcl
Yes she was wrong for killing 7 men, but i don't believe in the death penalty. I deeply understand why she wasn't in her right mind because her own family failed her. She wanted the state to kill her and got her wish October 9th 2002. I still want to send my condolences to the families of the 7 men and also to the family of Aileen Wuornos. As for Aileen, i pray that God forgives you and have mercy on your soul
Aileen was a troubled soul who was dealt a very bad card in life and didn’t get the basic needs a child deserves. She was a product of her raising in alot of ways. But she did what she did and that’s all on her. I agree she shouldn’t have been sent to die as it’s apparent from her last few interviews that her mental state was not all there anymore. I pray for her and her family and especially for the families of the victims too especially. I hope they all find peace in this life and the next
@@adventuresofmoonman well said
Dont do meth kids.
Loudest concert I have ever been to at the Fox Theater! Amazing show that contributed to some hearing loss, and that's ok. Cool video!
"Promo sm"
This place was cool looking. It reminds me of the scene in Tim Burton's Big Fish where Ed Bloom got all the daffodils in five states for his lady Sandra. I actually got to film the abandoned movie set from Big Fish when I was touring Alabama years ago and it was an amazing video shoot. That video's in my All Things Abandoned playlist if you ever wanna see what's left of the town of Spectre. You should check it out one day man it's worth the drive. HG
Ur that one dude from papa John's
I’m actually 3 little people in a trench coat
LOL
@@adventuresofmoonman I knew it
@jamielynn3145 ain't u that one girl from papa John's also? The one with the crusty hair
@@inktoonvillcity2305 WHAT NO
I can't wait
Appreciate your footage but you need to work on camera skills a few times thought I might throw up from motion sickness
So looking at where you enter, I shouldn't have to worry bout them detecting a small pocket knife or spend 20 minutes searching through my bag???
Nah. Never been searched there
I love icp but that's way too much overweight pussy stank for my liking.
