    Fort Mountain, Georgia. A substantial rock wall fortification at the top of a ridge. Cherokee say the “ Moon Eyed” people built it. About 850 feet in length. Would have been a substantial amount of
    work whoever built it. Understand there are more stone forts in the North Georgia/ Tennessee corridor.

      Because it has never been historically verified. It was a story created not only to undercut the accomplishments of native populations but was used as a justification for the crown to claim North America.

    I would love to see if you can debunk what i have not been able to. My name is Cole Pendrey and i live in ohio and my 8th grandfather gio pendry owned a 1000 acres of what is green county. .6 miles from the devils backbone assosiated with madoc. You said dreams i had a reaccuring nightmare every night from 8 years old till i hit thirteen of a red dragon terring my roof apart trying to get to me.My grandfather before he died would take me aside and tell me my name is very important dont let anyone mispell it. Just know your name is more important than you will ever know. I never put any of this together until i started learning the arthurian legend. After i carved my last name into a round table that i was making. My last name in celtic means awaiting the return of the king of the island. arthur one of the arthurs was born on tintagel when i seen the documentary on the island ,i felt like i had been there before. I knew the layout of the castle and rooms before they even showed the foundation including the stone.Ive seen that place before but ive never left the states. My family tree is all documented to being and owning a 1000 acres of green a 100 years before the country was formed.near by is the great surpent mound gio owned another peice of land in iowa guess what is located very close near by another surpent mound.now the absolute bombshell to all ive found out i cannot say on here but is 100 percent shocking and paints the entire picture pls contact me i would love to peak your interest more before i convince you there is def something to what im saying ty for your time if you read this. All ive said is 💯 truth
    full and is provable besides my dream.

    The Madoc story is interesting - What exactly were the earleist written sources on it?
    I read in WIkipedia about a 15th century poem saying that Madoc preferred the high seas (Atlantic) to living at home, but it didn't explain exactly what he did in America. I also saw 16th or 17th century post-Columbus stories about Madoc visiting America, but who knows whether they were made up based on Columbus' findings or if they actually had special information about Madoc's 12th century journey?

    In Beothuk language of Newfoundland "madich"(Maddoc) is a word meaning "bad man". Shanawdithit, the last known Beothuk disclosed that the first white men who came to Newfoundland came from the good spirit, while later arrivals, as well as Mi'kmaq, came from the "bad" spirit. Maddoc clearly didn't discover anything;) 🍀

      Attilah means blueberries and in Gaelic Aiteal means juniper berries.
      Munt means people and in Gaelic muintear means people.
      Monad means mountain and in Gaelic monadh means mountain.
      The suffix - nock is used in New England to denote hills and mountains. Cnoc in Gaelic means hill or rocky outcrop.
      Wadjak means on top, in Gaelic the word is uachdar.
      Monomonock Lake means ‘island lookout place’ and in Gaelic Moine-managh-ach ‘means boggy lookout place’.
