Mayan Ruins in Georgia? Archeologist Objects, Debate Breaks Out Online
Not fiscal cliff, doomsday ping.
The History Channel really doesn’t deserve the name anymore. It’s a higher quality version of the SyFy Channel.
Did u actually watch the special? If u did not, suggest u do.
I watched it and there is hard evidence.
The final chemical analysis of the Mayan blue dye compared to Georgia clay was very interesting.
I believe it isn’t unusual to think that the native nations of the Americas traveled a lot more than is commonly assumed.
The Mayans are from Mexico. They migrated to the United States. Nobody asked them to come here.
What else is new.
I have seen the same sort of walls and rock piles in both S Fulton county Ga and central NC. Both locations were miles from any roads and no evidence at all of recent occupation or ag use of the land. Recent as in last 100 years or so.
If a PHD doesn’t get a huge gov’t grant to “discover” these things, they do not exist.
I will admit that I have wanted to know how much of N. America were the Maya and Aztecs aware of. However, all that 2012 stuff and UFO goofiness makes it hard to take them seriously.
It’s probably the Survivor Panama set.

it seems both are more about reality shows than anything else
Doesn’t the Mormon’s (LDS) believe that the South American Indians inhabited the US or what is now the US?
This is from the BYU Mormon Encyclopedia.
“”The Book of Mormon tells that a small band of Israelites under Lehi migrated from Jerusalem to the Western Hemisphere about 600 B.C. Upon Lehi’s death his family divided into two opposing factions, one under Lehi’s oldest son, laman (see Lamanites), and the other under a younger son, Nephi 1 (see Nephites).
During the thousand-year history narrated in the Book of Mormon, Lehi’s descendants went through several phases of splitting, warring, accommodating, merging, and splitting again. At first, just as God had prohibited the Israelites from intermarrying with the Canaanites in the ancient Promised Land (Ex. 34:16; Deut. 7:3), the Nephites were forbidden to marry the Lamanites with their dark skin (2 Ne. 5:23; Alma 3:8-9). But as large Lamanite populations accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ and were numbered among the Nephites in the first century B.C., skin color ceased to be a distinguishing characteristic. After the visitations of the resurrected Christ, there were no distinctions among any kind of “ites” for some two hundred years. But then unbelievers arose and called themselves Lamanites to distinguish themselves from the Nephites or believers (4 Ne. 1:20).
The concluding chapters of the Book of Mormon describe a calamitous war. About A.D. 231, old enmities reemerged and two hostile populations formed (4 Ne. 1:35-39), eventually resulting in the annihilation of the Nephites. The Lamanites, from whom many present-day Native Americans descend, remained to inhabit the American continent. Peoples of other extractions also migrated there.””
It wasn’t until 1978 Lamented would be allowed into the priesthood.
Nonsequitor, I know...

You still got it wrong.
It's Lamanites, and they have always been allowed to hold the LDS Priesthood. It's African Blacks (Canaanites) you're thinking of.
Frickin people of coluh .....

Did they leave a rock saying when the Bulldogs are going to win a National Championship?
It’s a higher quality version of the SyFy Channel
I don’t think it even qualifies for that. With shows like Ice Road Truckers and the like, the channel’s History descriptive is lost.
But on the subject of the Mayans resettling in Georgia, one would have to wonder why no evidence exists closer to Mexico. Did they just wake up one day and say, “Hey, our civilization is collapsing. Let’s move to Georgia...”?
