![]() ![]() looks like marshall and i will be meeting after the holiday weekend, although i will probably be making another trip there before we meet. before i get everybody all over the state showing up, i want to have walked the area a few more times. it is very exciting, and it is stuck in my head. when i think about that face, the eyes pop up in my frontal lobe every single time. it's a very interesting phenomena. peace UM |

another question for the community. anyone know of a symbol that is shaped like a 3 or an E and then mirrored on the other side. there seems to be several of these around this site. could be a good clue.
this is on the waterfall ![]() and this piece is at the 'face' site. this is one of the pieces i found when i went back over the weekend. it is at the top of the formation, but part of it is broken off. ![]() |

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
i finally found a website that shed some light on some of the artifacts i found there. one of them was a triangle with a single diagonal band representing a spirit portal. from the website: Shapes were a means to communicate. At Native American’s ceremonial complexes communication was between people and spirits. Spirits are beings. At ceremonial complexes specific spirits were invited to participate. For a spirit to participate it needed free movement, in some cases it needed to be directed where to go, at other times the spirit(s) needed to be contained and in a few cases, the spirit needed to represented. Spirits with free movement have the ability to wander at will. This occurs with invited spirits, uninvited benevolent spirits, and disruptive spirits. To maintain order people developed symbolic means of communication with the spirits. People used shape for several different purposes 1) protective/blocking symbolism 2) representation of various natural features like sun, moon, river, crystal 3) spirit portals and 4) to contain a spirit(s). The most widely and universally used protective/blocking symbolism in the northeast region is the triangle shape. It was adaptable in many ways and forms. Some times it had dual usage of containing the invited spirit while at the same time blocking out uninvited spirits. Dual usage also extends to the triangle with two shoulders. The shoulders are a spirit portal and triangle is a blocking symbol. Most often the triangle was used strictly to block out uninvited spirits. The rectangle at America’s Stonehenge was used in unison with the triangle to protect. Outside this site rectangles were used as one of four basic shapes for low-walled enclosures. The consistency of its use suggests an importance was placed on the rectangle shape. Enclosures separate people and people/spirits from the world around them. By their nature they contain and at the same block out. The circle, open V, and U shape are the other basic shapes used to build low-walled enclosures. In reference to enclosures the four shapes appear to have some protective/blocking symbolism. Representation of natural features was done for two purposes 1) to call forth a spirit to a man-made recreation of its natural feature as part of a ceremony, and 2) to recreate the natural feature to have the spirit present. Each representation is specific to the spirit invited to a ceremony. Each ceremonial complex appears to have developed its own form of representation with one exception, the Manitou “Spirit” Stone. Manitou stones universally have the same basic shape although they vary in size. For a spirit to move from one world to another world or from one location on a ceremonial complex to another location it needs a spirit portal. Spirit portals take on many forms some of which have specific shapes. Shape was an important part of spirit portals at America’s Stonehenge. Native Americans utilized and used shape to work with the spirits. It was one of many ways in which contact could be made with spirits. Spirits for some unknown reason abide by the people’s rules and purposes set forth within the symbolic shapes. Some Native American groups incorporated shape to a high degree while others used it sparingly or not at all. The triangle has widespread use throughout the northeast region. To a lesser degree the rectangle and circle in reference to enclosures has widespread usage. Otherwise, shape was very individualistic from group to group. WOW WOW WOW the picture i have of it is horrible due to the many issues i was having getting my camera to cooperate there, but i know exactly where it is. ![]() still looking for the symbol reference ![]() Last edited by unlimited mind; 06-30-2009 at 07:35 AM. |

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!
Love this! I, too, have Cherokee blood (my nick is Cherokee) and eveytime I get back to NC have to get up at least to Asheville if not to Cherokee. Those mountains are MAGICAL! Did you get to talk to the local expert? I'd love to have a copy of the "spirit" or energy source you captured...beautiful and very meaningful photo. Keep up the good work, Unlimited Mind, and do let us know how things progress. If you need a hand researching on the net, just hollar. I love stuff like this. |

![]() sorry i overlooked your post. you can certainly have a copy of the 'spirit' energy. not trying to sell photos here, but if you would like a postcard of this, or any other size, you can buy one here. i uploaded it to my gallery there because i had some folks that wanted a printed copy. and if you would like to help with research, ancient carvings and symbols would be where i need some more eyes. there is a lot of ground to cover out there, and so far not much results from my part. we may need to stretch further than native american here, so keep that in mind. this site 'could be' very ancient. i have searched thru some alchemical symbols, native american, ancient, and i should probably get to the astrological/sabian. since everything is pretty much unknown right now, any place is the best place to start ![]() thanks for the support! here's another surprise from joyce kilmer memorial forest, apologies for the blur, but he was giggling. ![]() |

quickie update:
the site is much older than the cherokee. still have not met with the tribal leaders, but will finally do that on monday. took marshall mc clung to the site with his friend hoot gibbs yesterday. they were amazed, and especially with the footprints that are embedded into several large slabs. they did not want to go into the waterfall site. the waterfall site is one huge artifact. i think i may have found a huge chamber there under a slab and may have found the entrance. did not have anyone with me, or my flashlight, so i did not further investigate. it is built UNDER the water fall i believe. this could all be my intuition gone coo coo, so don't hold me to it. but things happened that make me believe this. i am working to put a complete website together about this, or maybe just add a section to my website with more pictures and what not. this place is pristine right now, as far as the energy is concerned, and my guidance is continuing to remind me to keep it that way until i can find the group that is suppose to work with the energy. i think that might be the local tribe here, so keeping my hopes up for that adventure. sorry for the short update, lots going on. i need to get someone to the site that has experience with very very ancient sites. if anyone here has any ideas about that, please contact via PM. a few pictures for now: i took this photo after i had the 'experience'. the red arrows on the right of the photo are pointing out the spirit presence, and the arrow on the left is pointing to where i believe the entrance is to the chamber. ![]() this photo is horribly blurred, very hard to get the camera to work here, but it does give you an outline of how it is built. the large slab that is laying across the top of what i am calling the chamber, is made to fit over this 'en.trance' to carry the water over it. ![]() on top of the slab, is one giant heart rock, impossible to get a good angle on this with the photo equipment i have right now, but here is what the top looks like ![]() further up the waterfall (this thing is huge) i found this interesting rectangular piece jutting from the very center of the large boulder at the bottom. notice the right angles in the slabs surrounding this area. ![]() i did have indiana jones thoughts about going over there and pushing it to see what might happen< kidding around a bit. the reverence that this site commands is pretty outstanding. the energy there is pristine at the present moment, and the energies of the site have been stirred awake for this time. more updates after the first of next week probably, unless i can get in touch with an archeologist that might be interested in this site. peace in peace out BIG LOVE ![]() p.s. everytime i go to these sites, there are hearts everywhere. from the sky to nature all around. gotta LOVE it! the photo above i took yesterday as i was leaving, and for the past two visits, i have taken heart cloud pictures in this same area as i was leaving. ![]() |

this is exciting! thank you in advance, and i look forward to anything you might be able to pass along. please contact me by PM here if you find anyone who may have some more info that ties in with this. ![]() one other thing i noticed about the 'face' site is that there are two types of tear drop shapes. the first type look carved. the second type look like an eye, as it bulges in the middle. this gives me the impression that they have different meanings. this is just one of the mysteries on the mystery pile ![]() i also noticed that the 'eyes' on what we are calling the face, are different shapes. one is a circle, and one is shaped like a tear drop. very interesting. what i would really like to do is measure and map this place out and put it back together virtually. i need some more tools, ![]() BIG LOVE ![]() |

What about all the University departments I gave you by PM? Have you tried calling them personally? Because it is summer, the department heads may not be on campus all the time, but you have to start calling, and seeing who you can get, and ask those people to keep referring you to someone else they can get by phone. I can't wait until you do get some answers from some professionals... because I do think it is worth looking into further! |

i have called, emailed, and went to offices. what i am observing right now, is that the people that are going to be apart of this, will become available. i am meeting TJ Holland on monday, whose name was given to me by Marshall. TJ was an easy connect and he immediately wanted to check it out. his mother, who i talked to earlier that day, is full blood cherokee and is very active with the tribe. basically what i am saying, is this process is unfolding as it should, with the people who will carry this forward in a reverent way. this has already been demonstrated to me many times. in one instance, one of the folks i emailed who is a part of the forestry service, looked at the face photo, and his first impression was that it was erosion. i laughed pretty hard when i read that. after i finally talked with him on the phone, he had a fuller picture and is now going to visit the site when he returns from vacation. national geograhic (just heard back from the today) would like the same proof as you Kathy. so this is one of the next steps. the two V's verifying and validity ![]() BIG LOVE ![]() Last edited by unlimited mind; 07-09-2009 at 02:34 AM. |

I don't know that I'm looking for "proof"... I'm just hoping the experts will get interested and do the serious study needed... and it looks like you've got the ball rolling! And I hope you get the credit you deserve for finding it. Makes you wonder that no one noticed it for the past 100 years, particularly when there is a picnic table placed right there, that is the funny part! |

it might not be a bad idea to get an expert to look at what we are calling the 'footprints'. this will need to be an on site investigation (unless we figure out a way to model them), because i have tried every way possible to photograph these, and it is really really hard to get the detail needed. (there are a few photographic equipment needs i have right now. plus, the next time i go to the water fall site, i am hauling the tripod up with me to see if i can get some better photos.) and you are right about the easy access to the 'face' site. i spoke to the local store owner, the man that gave me marshall's name, and he told me that he had climbed all over those slabs before. but because of the steep grade around the site, he never ventured further. he also never noticed all of the other things (the notch, carvings, or the chamber). also, as i was near the top of the waterfall, i heard a car go by. and since i had reported this to the forest rangers before i met marshall and hoot, i thought that it could be someone from there. as i was leaving the waterfall i decided to see if it was one of the rangers i spoke to. (found a turtle marching up the center of the lane going up) it wasn't a ranger, and that person did not notice anything interesting about the site either. i guess it is perception. and both jodi and i think that everything is a mystery, so everything is interesting and captivating. lol. we were feeling our way around the day we found it, so i am sure that had something to do with it too. jodi has not been back yet, and i can hardly wait for her to go back with me. the face site has had more traffic over the years, for sure. and maybe one of the things that will happen, is that the energy between all the different sites will be connected and balanced once again. i am constantly getting guidance to find the group that can work with this energy before the entire site is widely known. this is the biggest message so far. getting it reported and documented is further down the list, although getting to know the site is really all i am documenting so far. the probable reason the waterfall has not been thoroughly documented and explored, is the difficulty of the actual site. marshall said he had climbed the thing many years ago, i think he may be in his late 60's, and he felt that it was quite odd, but he didn't think to investigate it further. now everything is coming alive. i really hope that there have been artifacts found that were out of place and are in a box in some storage room somewhere. this way we can expand the picture a bit more. ![]() |

Unlimited mind,
There is a show on tonite Wed. 7/15/09 on PBS called Time Team America and they are investigating an ancient site in South Carolina that is said to be the oldest know North America site. It may be connected to your site in some way. I am taping the show and will let you know what they found if the show is not on in your area. I am so excited about your find and can't wait for more info. Here is the web page for the show. http://www.pbs.org/opb/timeteam/ I think you can watch the show online if you can't see it tonight. |

![]() just visited the sites again on monday, and found more markings on other slabs in the general area. so far, there are remnants covering a 3-4 mile area, and will probably encompass more once i walk further up, over, and around the mountains there. did a closer investigation of the slab area, and that is the only area on the entire waterfall with the block slab construction that is so very obvious. so, my instincts are indicating a definite chamber under the slab, built in to the waterfall. had some really great folks here initiate contact with me from this forum about the site, and i just wanted to say thank you for the research help AND the interest. linda baker passed on some info to me and somehow has disappeared. so if you are out there linda, please contact me. ![]() more soon.............. |

Well... has there been any public announcements of this site now? Has any reputable archeologist been out there yet?
Just curious. |

it has been a while since i updated everyone, and i apologize for that. the updates are of great importance yet we cannot speak of them at this time due to the nature of the work. since my last update i have had two well known people offer information about the site, and both of the ladies validated my own intuition and understanding of what exactly this site really is, without speaking to me about those things in advance. this is where everything went to a whole new level. if you read ancient history, especially when there is involvement by off-worlders, a deeper understanding within yourself arises. where did the fear of god first make it's appearance in our collective DNA. the why, when, how doesn't really matter if you can somehow assimilate that into THIS moment, and give yourself an opportunity to overlay that dream. to do that, you must know that YOU are god, you are everything, and that there is no separation. by practicing the action of this awareness, we can REALIZE this truth. there has been constant supervision of us terrans here for all time by ET races. some of those races brought their beliefs that were based on their own awareness to gaia, and others attempted to clean it up after they had achieved a higher spiritual awareness. it is the exact same thing we are doing right now, is it not? this is of great importance to understand. there is a wheel in motion, and we all have a part in how it spins. every single person, plant, animal, and element. this site is so much more than we can even imagine, and that is a beautiful thing. please keep lofty thoughts and love in your hearts. |
