I’m sure you probably have but, the peacefulness insect sounds make me want to just sit in there, close my eyes and try to let my mind take me back to the time when they were there!!! It’s hard to imagine how it would have been that long ago. No technology, fewer people and just… ahh! Thank you for sharing your video, it is very relaxing and BEAUTIFUL!

Looks like a whole bunch of natives watched a meteorite hit

Your verts & turkey tracks were multi use for sharpening and also wedge building many of the holes were for storage and molding. Poles ran from ground to sandstone holes fixed above. skins were then wrapped. the inner wall hole was the centerline mounts. Many Siberian natives still practise these techniques currently. I live near probably the most significant known mound in the US those also were used to navigate from seasonally. Very cool👍

I wasn't aware of this location. I appreciate you taking the time to take the video. I am going to share it with a geophysicist who is a petroglyph enthusiast, hopefully he can provide some insight.

I'm so glad to see vandals haven't destroyed this beautiful piece of history.

As a boy growing up in Tennessee you could find huge flint spear points in plowed tobacco fields after a good spring rain. You had about a month between plowing and planting to search. Farmers didn't care but after they plant STAY OUT. I would say that the carvings are a calendar. The long line probably represents the equinox and deer hunting and the autumn full moons as well as the sun's position as the seasons progress. It would be interesting to see if the sun actually beams down on the face of the carvings.

Tennessee is so beautiful. Thanks for the video!

Great job taking us with. Thank you so much for hiking out there. Job well done on the video!

I so enjoyed this video! Warmest and most abundant thanks for sharing this. We're so fortunate to have these reminders of our ancestors and their lives.

What a great video! You give historical background; you show the site; you explain, and you show scale. Thanks so much.

It is amazing that someone named Ronnie or ZGA have not spray painted the whole cave

Thank you! Looks like a beautiful place. The glyphs and markings made me imagine looking out of the cave at night, thru the bare winter branches with the starts peaking thru...

The beautiful Franklin.. Thanks fot showing us this shelter! It'd be amazing to see the potery that was found. 🙏

SWEET. I collect Native American artifacts. They were all legally found, Surface Finds. I collect them to preserve history. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This is beautiful. I would love to try to visit this site. I am in Sequatchie County Tennessee.. I will try to find this State Park area you are talking about in this video. Great job and explanations...thanks

cool video !!!!!

Thank you for doing such a great job showing your area.

Awesome!!!! I love Tennessee

This takes my breath away it’s incredible beautiful I’m blessed that you share this thank you so much I’m learning about my history of native Indians blood line

That's very interesting. I was born in Tennessee. But raised in California. I know very little about Tennessee. Glad to see something of it. Nice! ❤️

Fantastic video. I’m from Ontario Canada. I have travelled through Tennessee, and absolutely love that states the area, Urian kind of reminds me of Mammoth Cave, which I have travelled to in Kentucky. Awesome to see this precious sight!!!

Did you notice the rock above the petroglyphs? It's a perfect horizontal line.. just found that interesting. Great video. Very relaxing. Thank you 🤗

Nice, ❤️ from West Virginia

Beautiful beautiful beautiful

Thx you for sharing your story

What an awesome find! My dream job would be to work as a Park ranger and see awesome stuff like this all the time! How informative thanks for sharing!

Great video. As a descendant of the Cherokee of Georgia, I like to think that one of my distant relatives may have visited that site, and how I would like to myself. Peace ☮️

Looks like a bolide at eleven twenty, my favorite subject. From The Deep Ocean Above

This video is so interesting! The carving with the circle at the bottom with "tails" trailing upward, reminds me of a comet. I live in the North Georgia mountains and have often wondered if the rocky areas here have caves that were used. As a child, I enjoyed gathering flint arrowheads after the garden was plowed.

Very cool!

Thank you

Fascinating!

Your awesome!

I love these people I’m Irish ☘️ 👍🙏🙏🙏

i absolutely love this sort of stuff!!

Thank you! Thank you for sharing this amazing site!

That’s freaking awsome!!!!

Thank you!

Thank you for this walk & talk on History, Love from the Netherlands

Thank you very much

Thanks for sharing this this. I've never seen petroglyphs like these. They have a strange symmetry & unearthly beauty.

As someone who grew up in the mid west for 31 years I appreciate you posting this. The nostalgia of the land really brought a lot of peace to my heart during my struggles with my health. I'm also eastern native! So thank you so much for all of your time and efforts putting together such a beautiful video to share with us. Blessings and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Years. ❤

Thank you for the informative video.

awwsome adventure... thank you

Thank you for the video

That is awesome I enjoyed the video

this is awesome! I had the privilege of driving through TN and AR a few years ago and visiting some of the well-known sites like Petit Jean, Parkin, and Pinson mounds. Would love to come back and see some more of the off-the-beaten-path stuff. I live in MD now but have lived/worked/explored the southwest extensively. I really fell in love with AR and TN when I passed through.

Amazing…

Great video!! Thank you for sharing with us!!

Thank you for sharing!! Love Native history

Very very cool! Thanks for sharing!

That's really cool! Thanks for showing us around

Thanks.Great content!👍

I just learned about these petroglyphs reading In Search of First Contact. Thanks for expanding more upon them visually!

What a wonderful video. Thanks for taking us along! The shelter is so interesting.

They are carved so deep! I’ve seen many but none so deeply carved. Thanks for taking us along to this special place! 😍

Great video thanks

Great interpretation of the sites history. I grew up in Tennessee and enjoyed the scenery. Thank You!

The glyphs you pointed out in the turkey tracks looked like tad poles and the other looked like a comet.

Fascinating video - thank you! Also, I have to say you have a wonderful speaking voice - very clear and pleasant with a nice Southern accent. That and the interesting subject make this an outstanding video.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks 👍

I just have to see these petroglyphs! fun video. thank you

thanks good coverage.

Great scenic sight!

Some truly interesting news coming out of of America ... makes a nice change

Really made me do some research of what’s south of Nashville. Been to Chattanooga and didn’t think of what else could be down there. Thanks a lot and really great video. Keep exploring!

Great Video. Thank you

Cool !

exactly the same as in Europe like France or Sardinia, the same

Awesome Video Mamn...I Love Stuff like this...Thank You.

Kind Thanks for sharing your petroglyphs at that Beautiful place! I live in south east Pennsylvania about 12 miles east of the Susquehanna River where many petroglyphs are carved on the rocks in the middle of the river, which is about a mile wide at this point. It is believed to be the largest concentration of glyphs known on the north east coast. Thanks Again and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Thanks! I went in a cave on the Giles and Maury county line probably 40 years ago in Tennessee. It was off Highway 245. We went deep and got nervous about finding our way back. It was interesting. Community Southport. Good video!

14:41 Thank you. I love learning about the Native Americans. I’ve always been intrigued with them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you so much for taking me along on your wonderful hike. It is always so exciting to discover and learn about Native Americans. And how beautiful is rock and stone?!

What about snakes…..our infamous rattlers & copperheads that blend so amazingly with the cool weather landscape. ????

Appalachian mountains are the oldest mountains in North America. I have long believed that they have never been explored as well as the area deserves.

Nice I find Patrick lives here in Tucson all the time I love finding them or just checking out the ones everyone knows about

First time to your channel. Appreciate your work and enjoyed you showing and teaching us about this exciting shelter. VERY cool. You have me hooked and a new subscriber too. Keep up what you do as you are making a difference in the world !

Back in the early 90s used to spend a week paddling the creeks on the Cumberland Plateau. We paddled upper Clear Creek in high water and came across a huge rock house right on the river. I stopped and got out and the nooks and crevasses in there were full of shards and chips. Am sure it gets flooded all the time

New sub from TN. I am starting to find interest in the Native American history in TN. Thank you for this video!

I feel like I noticed a couple of glyphs and some fossils that you just walked by. I'll bet that entire area is filled with wonderful evidence of the past.

HellIo from northern California Mount Shasta area. Thank you for sharing Tennessee s only Excavated site Of petroglyphs. I They are wonderful I definitelywill be looking for more Of your videos!

There's a couple of caves really close to my house in Rheatown Tennessee . It's part of Chuckey , Tennessee

An old friend of mine took me somewhere near rockcastle co ky to see some. Can’t for the life of me remember where!

I love tennessee.

Beautiful. I subscribed.

Reminds me of being a child and young adult. As kids, me and my brother use to explore the areas known as “ cole city holler” or “ cole city” ( which was burned out years ago. As adults my mom, dad amd I would ginseng hunt there. I got pictures of the last “ coke oven” that hadn’t fallen in. It was awesome! The sounds from being in nature, make me want to go back to where my life was simple, relaxing and care-free. Good times, thank you! ( We are close to Marion County, where GA/AL/TN all border, there are some awesome caves, and scenery here! Lost history also!

Well done and inspiring. I agree with you, this site was most likely use for ceremony and medicine. It has probably changed over centuries with new generations and visitors--but definitely a great site for spiritual reflection---near a water source, and inspiring location visually. Just imagine visiting the site at night when the trees are bare---I wonder what the skies, stars look like at night at that site. That might provide more insight into any ancient meaning of the site. Those worn niches/holes in the cave wall may have held herbs, poltices, medicine. No part of the animal (be it bear, deer, wolf, eagle, turkey) went unused. All had a purpose.

Cool

Nevermind! You answered my question in your next vid that I watched!

Outstanding! Just subbed.

I'd say that one ball with the three lines off the back of it with the bigger ball behind the lines could be the moon or sun and comet or asteroid they witnessed or was told about it, or it was a vision of future?kinda looks like the wall is made to look like darkness to me?

Indigenous have been in US for over 23,OOO YEARS. I know , my family is traced back to America.

Massive!!

Awesome video! I live in east Tennessee and didn't know about it. We'll be visiting now bc of your leg work. Literally 😂

You have no idea how accurate the term bluff actually is for describing that area.

Maybe the holes were spaces to place offerings, which makes sense if it was a shrine of some kind. Thank you for sharing this! Petroglyphs are rare in the Eastern USA.

Very different from the Southwest pictographs and petroglyphs of the Ancestral Puebloan peoples. Even different from the Texas pictographs. Did not notice any images relating to Gods or human-like figures. All seem animals and geometrics in that shelter. Very unique to the area maybe? Beautiful. Glad you have it and it is safe. I just noticed a KZfaq video regarding TN cave paintings which do look like there are humanoid-like or images of Gods. Good to know. I am fascinated by these paintings and carvings.

All the carbon dating proves is that the place was last used 1000 years ago. It's probably older than that.

Hi there, the cave opening where the deer prints and the pit are, if you went there on the solstice and equinox you would find the dots and line follows a shadow line that matches the sun angle on those days. They did this so they knew how many months until the ceremony. It's a very clever system, to use the sun and shadows as a calender. There may be some zodiac patterns there also. Take care and merry Christmas to you and yours.
