welcome back and in today's video we could be going on an adventure a
perilous journey with real danger very soon there's an urban legend that's very
close to me and if this video gets 300 bucks
then we're probably gonna take a camera and we're gonna we're gonna go see if
the moon hide people exist moon-eyed people are a race of people from
Cherokee tradition who are said to have lived in the Appalachia until Cherokee
expelled them expelled means forcefully removed they are mentioned in a 1797
book by Benjamin Smith Barton who explains they are called moon odd
because they saw poorly during the day later variants add additional details
claiming the people had white skin that they created the area's pre-columbian
ruins and that they went west after their defeat barton cited as his source
of conversation with colonial Leonard Marbury 1749 1796 an early settler of
Georgia now I know that this is shocking that here in Georgia where I'm from too
many people you didn't realize that your your town was full of such mystery but
I'm here to tell you that Georgia is one of the most interesting places into the
world so this is a an actual plaque from the Fort Mountain State Park it talks
about the moon-eyed people that that is the coolest thing that have ever seen it
says while some legends equate the moon eyed people with the descendants of
Prince Madog Cherokee legends tell of the moon on people that inhabited the
southern highlands before they arrived these people are said to have been
unable to see during certain phases of the Moon Wow
that's a little bit more detailed it makes me wonder one or two things were
these early settlers were they aliens from an
planet is rip Zilla and ancestor of these aliens or were they actually white
people that were here living before Columbus ever hit ground a lot of you
know by now that Columbus was probably not the first person to actually
discover America as there's so many different accounts of other people
heating this land before him other variations of the Cherokee legend tell
about people with fair skin blonde hair and blue eyes that occupied the mountain
areas until Cherokee invaders finally dispersed them some tales said the moon
eyed people could see in the dark but we're nearly blonde in daylight other
legends describe them as albinos now it's like it's very interesting because
I too have fair skin a natural hair color of blonde and my eyes are blue it
does make me wonder were these just like early set was white people already in
America or before all of this started and that's an interesting concept
Delaware Indian legend tells of their immigration eastward from the Far West
and meeting a race of very tall robust light-skinned people they called the
allegewi along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers
the Delaware were stopped in their advancement by the allegory until they
prevailed with the support of Iroquois Iroquois who were also moving eastward
some surviving in lagoon went to Cherokee territory and stayed with them
for a time and are remembered as moon eye people who were tall fair skinned
with light hair and gray eyes and carried strange weapons and tools now
this is another thing well hello there I just released a new merch line called
the black sheep by RevZilla it's of course it's in the merch store which is
in the description below but it's it's basically just how we are a flock we are
the black sheep of our families and society we just stand out you can get
the hoodies you can get the stick you get the mug I
specifically this sweater coming because oh my god I'm gonna wear it during
Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner because you know why I'm the black sheep
strange weapons and tools lead me to believe that they are probably from
outer space another theory that just pops in my head but what if they were
time travelers mm-hmm let that sink in Barton suggested the
moon out people were actually ancestors of the obamas that lana wafer
encountered among the Kuna people of Panama who were also called moon eyed
people and if you don't know who lion-o wafer is he was a welsh explorer
Buccaneer and privateer from 1642 1705 a chip surgeon wafer made several voyages
to the South Seas and visited maritime Southeast Asia in not in 1676 and 1679
he sailed again as a sergeant soon after settling in Jamaica to practice his
profession there are actually lots of strange that like this is a remnant of a
prehistoric wall there's actually statues and many other things that were
built by these moon on people and they are very close to fort Melton State Park
near Chatsworth Georgia one of the more popular theories is that Cherokee
tradition may have actually been influenced by contemporary European
American legends of the Welsh Indians these legends attributed ancient ruins
to a Welsh pre-columbian voyage pre-columbian means before Columbus was
there some versions specifically connect the voyage to a prince named modoch
who's that guy modock also spelled Maddog and I'm not even gonna try to
pronounce that was according to folklore a Welsh prince who sailed to America in
1170 that's right Greg 1170 that is before Columbus was there over 300 years
before Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492 according to the story it was the
son of Owain Gwynedd and took to the sea to flee some violence at home
so in an 1810 letter former Tennessee Governor John severe wrote the Cherokee
leader okano stotra and told him in 1783 the
local mounds had been built by white people who were pushed from the area by
ascendant Cherokees according to severe econo Stata confirmed that these were
Welsh from across the ocean now I think that's very interesting because if
Christopher Columbus wasn't the first to settle here there were actually other
Welsh white people here before the Cherokees and the Cherokees actually
pushed them from it it's very interesting
could it be aliens could it be time travelers could it be albano people from
Panama it's very interesting here's a picture of the fort mountain in Georgia
and if you've watched some of my live streams I've actually showed you this
mountain and what's very interesting when I was 15 years old me and one of my
friends actually trekked up this left side of this mountain I see these rocks
right here I almost actually died on those rocks as I almost fell off the
mountain but was actually caught by my friend he saved me and we trekked it
took us three days to trek from the left and the right you cannot make this stuff
up but there's an ancient 885 foot long zigzagging rock wall that was built from
stone and that's that's one of the things that I want to do if we do get
300 likes on this video then I am going to take my camera we're going to go to
that wall and we're gonna check this out and we're gonna look around for there's
also there's actually also a cave up there that I'll have been in before now
this is stuff from my teenage years and to know now that that these things that
I saw before could actually be like pieces to this legend is very exciting
it's it's something that I really like to do there's several other theories I'm
gonna put this in the description below and as interesting as this is always so
those for interest to me that's right you guessed it our know what you think
about this so Irish garden is your creative under interesting responses to
the comment box be like there's always brothers and sisters I will see you in
the next video man like this is why I live for adventure adventure and
drinking out of the the official rep squad mug which you can also get in the
description below but yeah guys this sounds very fun and I think that's
something that we should do because I know that you're repping if you're not
ripping your dragna how do you become a member the rest go to all you get is
subscribers notification I'll be in the comment section to every single video
cuz I'm gonna be there Greg the cat's gonna be there and the rest of the reps
call community is going to be there and I expect to see you there as well
because this channel loves you great we're going on an adventure
