Brasstown bald Mountain is near Lumpkin County, GA which was the epicenter of the gold rush of 1830’s. Same Gold rush that caused Andrew Jackson to rescind all native claims to lands and auction all lands off to pioneer settlers so as to eliminate ‘foreign’ native interests. Same goold rush that led to the trail of tears. The Maya and Aztecs had a thing for gold.

Thanks. So did the Spanish.

So did the Swedes and Bretons ~ A very notable taste for the goods.

So what we have here is a site in hillycountry and there are ancient Indian works, more recent works, a modern town, and gold miners have been in the place.

This may well be one of the more important archaeological sites in North America when it comes to evidence of Spanish penetration.

At some point someone will come up with a picture of those "stones" ~ bet they are somewhat like parallelograms and look just like typical 1500s Spanish boundary stones ~ which are also sometimes quite large.

"The Maya and Aztecs had a thing for gold."

They were complete pikers compared to the Inca.
