The Mysterious Ancient Town on Amy's Creek
For the past 160 years, some of the most famous archaeologists in the United States have passed this ancient cluster of earthen and stone structures without noticing it. A 40 feet tall mound was immediately adjacent to the highway, but perhaps because it was so large and covered with pines, they thought it was a natural hill. We will take viewers there with on-site videos and satellite imagery to this mysterious place. This is the succinct video format we will use in coming months as we explore ancient town sites in the volcanic mountains of Northeast Georgia that have either never been studied before or else were last visited in 1886 by Smithsonian archaeologist, Cyrus Thomas.
