i am from clay county and have cherokee in my family also seen the writings in the rocks around my grandparents house on kinkade road

I know that there are 2 caves in Monroe County Kentucky that Native Americans had left markings on the walls inside. I found several arrowheads at one cave. Its on private land now so nobody can access it.

It is a shame the way our heritage was stripped away from us

I live in this area and have Native American ancestry, so I know a lot about these and other writings in Eastern Kentucky. The original Cherokee carvings was modified by a preacher in the mid-late 1800s to try to convince people that Europeans was in this area before the Native Americans. This is why the rock was removed from the historic register. People in this area know that already. The reason it was easy to modify is Sequoyah used symbols similar to Jewish language. There are MANY writings in this area. If you go to other sites, you quickly realize this rock was modified. Also, the Brocks in this area are descended from Red Bird. My Sizemore family, however, are Catawba Indians that moved to Clay County. Both did intermarry

Amen to keeping the history, I hope you are able speak with Elders and document everything they speak for prosperity.You know the story but can it be documented, or added onto. Peace

This huge rock came from my family farm when it fell. Crazy this poped up on KZfaq. Ha

very interesing ang Similar prehistoric petroglyphs of Iran!

I'm part Cherokee as well. My question is" Just how did the Cherokee learn to write first century Greek, Hebrew, Old Libyan, Old Arabic, Iberian-Punic, Ogam, Germanic Rune, & Tiffinag-Numidian? Since all these known old world languages are written in these petroglyphs , At Red Bird. Proving that there were pre Columbus inhabitants in America, that weren't Native American . Why would a educational video hide the obvious?

Hello my name is Adam baker and my family has a lot of land down there and my great grand father used to work in the village back in the mountains it is all gone now but when I was a little kid I found a doll that I have always wondered about it is Sacajawea caring her baby and it has some hieroglyphs on it and I have never been able to translate if you could help me please reply to this message I would love to learn about my Cherokee decent and ancestors

My grandfather was born in Clay county ,Ky, and his middle name is Clay, Henry Clay Combs

Who can I get ahold of to help me find out if my research on my ancestry is accurate? I’ve found that I’m related to Chief Red Bird of the Chickamauga Cherokee in this region.

Chief Red Bird is in my family somehow...I've not connected everything on ancestry yet. Slowly but surely things are coming together.

If this interests you check out paintlick in southwest Virginia, really awesome artwork, not sure how old.

Some of those petroglyphs are paleo to archaic time period. Over 5k years old

Look up Electric Universe. These are plasmoid shapes from the sky, and are found around the world. You can find these in the KY Rock Art book, and you can also find the truth in this recorded interview from Thomas Jefferson's diaries: "Jefferson, who often is referred to as the father of American archaeology, was fascinated with both mastodons and the Ice Age Americans. Unlike Franklin, (speaking about Big Bone Lick, KY), Jefferson was convinced that people lived in the Americas at the same time mastodons were living at Big Bone Lick. His reasoning was based, in part, on an oral tradition of Delaware Indians, which he had recorded firsthand. During the American Revolution, Jefferson had met with a group of Delaware Warriors and asked them, "What happened to the great animal whose bones were found at the salt licks on the Ohio?" A Chief in the group stood up and said, 'In ancient times a herd of these tremendous animals came to the Big Bone Licks, and began a universal destruction of the bear, deer, elks, buffaloes, and other animals which had been created for the use of the Indians; that the Great Man above, looking down and seeing this, was so enraged that he seized his lightning, descended on the Earth, seated himself on a neighboring mountain, on a rock of which his seat and the print of his feet, and hurled his bolts among them till the whole were slaughtered, except the big bull who, presenting his forehead to the shafts, shook them off as they fell; but missing one at length, it wounded him in the side; whereon, springing round, he bounded over the Ohio, over the Wabash, the Illinois, and finally over the great lakes, where he is living at this day.' ~In Search of Ice Age Americans, Tankersley, p51-52

The woman that keeps referring to Native Americans as "Indians" basically said she was 1/32 Cherokee. While the script she was reading was accurate I do not think she was any part Cherokee.

This is where non native Americans are in the comments about their one relative

This is a solstice cave...the script at its oldest us solex-mal. ..this was wrote on by Cherokee but it wasnt theirs

I kinda have a pet peeve when people call native Americans, Indians no Native American was from India they just thought they where in India when they arrived in the americas, my teacher drilled it into my head when I was in 5th grade so now I can’t say Indians without cringing😭

His-story = thier-story

IT IS HEBREW!!!!!!

I am Cherokee paint clan

Crusaders

min 2:00 LOL!!! the point is the charcoal is 2000 years old... duh. You make charcoal by burning wood. Humans burn wood. Charcoal 2000 years old isn't just lying around waiting to be used to write with. *facepalm* That's because some of the drawings ARE 2000 years old...

Ancient graffiti artist. Made to pass time, when they had nothing else to do.

I Believe this woman is correct in that these petroglyphs are from the ancestors of the Cherokee people. Many of these petroglyphs are symbols of an alien sky which people from all over the earth witnessed see (Symbols of an Alien Sky) with Dave Talbott on the thunderbolts you-tube channel for more.

These most likely belong to the aboriginals not the Native Americans.

there was a giant indian city at sextons creek at the mound at the beginning of the mile strechwhich needs to be dug up and cataloged this was a great villiage of civilized peope before white people or Spanish discovered america
