Choctaw Indians’ Legend Of Nanih Waiya Cave Mound – Mysterious Underground Realm Of Their Ancestors And Their Battle With Giants
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Choctaw Indians of Mississippi have a fascinating ancient legend about the Nanih Waiya Cave Mound.
The Indians say that their ancestors emerged from an artificial underground world a very long time ago, which they consider to be the homeland of their ancestors.
During this time, the Choctaw Indians were invaded by a race of red- and blond-haired, white-skinned giants.
These huge men were dressed in thick skin and carried weapons such as axes and “sharp clubs.” It almost sounds like the Choctaw encountered foreign invaders from across the sea.
Could it have been the Vikings or other foreign people of great stature?
The Choctaw are descendants of the Hopewell and Mississippian cultures, who lived throughout the east of the Mississippi River valley.
Nanih Waiya, a fifty-foot-tall natural geological formation, is located in what is present-day central Mississippi.
