| In early June of 2009, Jodi Hammack and Donna Spratt went for a walk-about near Robbinsville, NC. What we found is mysterious and amazing! |

| Ancient Site Re-Discovered |
| At first glance, you may not notice that the 'eyes' are different shapes. One appears to be in the shape of a teardrop, and the other a perfect circle. There is also a cigar-shaped carving where the third eye would be. |
| Please note: As of this date, July 21, 2009, this ancient site has not been evaluated by an archeologist. We are doing research and interested in any feedback offered. Please contact us if you have information that may add a piece to the puzzle. |
| This photo was taken at the first site we discovered. We are calling this the 'face' site, only because this sculpted stone resembles a face. |
| The broken piece is laying on the ground about 3 feet away and seems to be the missing piece broken at the base of the sculpted slab. |

| Research Journey |
| Some shots from around the 'chamber' site |
| This site has not been investigated further as the vegetation has grown up around it for the summer. |
| This piece has a straight seam, and then it curves off of that. There are many massive slabs and boulders all around the side of the waterfall. |
| Looking up to the area where the previous photo was taken. |
| This was laying about 10 feet from the waterfall at the fifth level |
| There are at least six levels to this waterfall. You can see three from this photo. |
| These artifacts were found at the first level of the waterfall. The triangle has a raised (dimensional) piece on the top of it, also shaped like a triangle. All three are located close to one another. |
| Side View |
| Photo taken from the back right side, opposite previous photo |
| Front left side, notice that both sides have these large slabs laying over from the middle part |
| This is at the base on the back side, a large arch. Please note that there are a few limbs in front of the slab. |
| Broken piece at the back of the site |
| This is the largest teardrop shape we found at the 'face' site. It was carved on the face of the large slab that is laying over in the previous photo. This may be a clear indication that these slabs did not fall over. |
| Comparison: broken piece from the 'chamber' site |
| This teardrop shape is above the chamber, as you can see the large column that is inside from this view. These resemble an 'eye'. |
| The arrow is pointing to the slab that is laying over what we are calling the 'chamber'. It has the same kind of angle cut on the edge as the slab at the waterfall. This slab is arched. |
| There is a marking like this at the waterfall. |
| tear drop shape 2 |
| From the waterfall |
| This photo was taken standing on top of the slabs. That is the top of the 'face', as you can see, the other shapes are hidden from view. |
| The 'Face' & The 'Markings' at the Chamber Site |
| The 'Chamber' |
| This photo was taken at Fort Mountain off trail in the ruins there. Maybe both of these sites are connected somehow. |
| Site 4 ~ The Altar |
| Site 5 ~ The Temple |
| There is a ceremonial bowl carved into the top of the largest of the slabs at this area, thus we gave it the name Altar. The first picture is an over all view and shows you, on the right, there are several standing stones, the largest of these slabs is the altar slab. On the back side of this slab, as you will see in the photos below, there are many circles carved in to the surface. The profile of this slab is also very interesting, as it looks like the profile of a face. On the left side, there are standing stones that mirror the slabs on the right. This is when we began to climb up and over the mountains in search of other standing stones. So far, we have located 20 more standing stones, and they are all following a specific coordinate. This is not coincidence. |
| The large rock that sits in the middle of the slab, is cut into a heart shape. |
| The Altar Slab |
| This area of the ancient site was discovered by following the same coordinates of the standing stones that we located over three miles of terrain. It appears to have been a massive structure of some kind, and this is why we gave it the name 'Temple'. These slabs range in length, from 8 ft. to 21 ft. This is only the top layer of the blocks and slabs. As you move up to the top of the ridge, there is a slab that is between 70-100 ft long, and approximately 40 feet above ground, that crosses from one side of the ridge to the other. The first picture, has a red arrow that points to the slab looking from side one of this area. There are angled slabs on either side, built like the 'Chamber' site, with the exception that these are more than double the size. This large rock appears to be sculpted in several areas. The artifact in the last picture was found under one of the angled slabs. The color of the stone is more grey (thumbnail). The large photo was affected by the lighting used, but has good detail of the ridges. There are small flecks that sparkle like glitter throughout, and it is very light in weight. I encourage you to zoom in on these photos so that you can see the sculpted detail in the slabs. |
| Fifth Level |
| This is a side view to illustrate how these slabs are situated. The 'chamber' is on the left. The two tall slabs in the middle are 21 feet above ground. |

| Interesting Geometry |
| Use thumbnail for scale, my friend is 5' 7" |
| These very precise lines look as if they have been made with a laser, and are found at every area of the entire ancient site. |
| Notice the wavy edges of the stone at the forefront, and the stone behind has the same symbol found at other areas. |
