Pilot Mountain Is Home To A Mysterious Underground Civilization – Cherokee Legend Tells
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Stories of mysterious beings who dwell in secret underground worlds are common among many Native American tribes. According to local accounts, these individuals avoid contact with the outside world and can only be seen on rare occasions. Who these subterranean people remain unknown.
As previously mentioned on AncientPages, the “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 their ancestors' homeland.
During this time, the Choctaw Indians were invaded by a race of red- and blond-haired, white-skinned giants.” 1
Nanih Waiya is sacred to the Choctaw Indians and the Indians say the great mound leads to a huge subterranean world with large series of caverns where many mysterious beings dwell.
The Cherokee have a similar legend, and they “recall a white-skinned race that lived on their lands before they arrived. This group of very unusual beings was known as the Moon-Eyed people.
