Mysterious Judaculla Rock And The Slant-Eyed Giant Of The Cherokee
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The Judaculla Rock in North Carolina is one of the greatest mysteries in North America. The 230-square-foot soapstone boulder is covered with more than fifteen hundred ancient carvings and petroglyphs, and is by no means an ordinary stone.
Who made the ancient carvings, and what do the engraved symbols mean? Several attempts have been made to decipher the mysterious ancient signs, but the Judaculla Rock remains reluctant to reveal its secrets.
The Judaculla Rock is of great importance to the Cherokee, who have long held the rock sacred. The Cherokee say their people did not produce this enigmatic rock art. The Judaculla Rock was already there when the Cherokee arrived, and they were unable to read the pictographs.
The Cherokee believe the huge puzzling stone with its perplexing, odd-looking characters is the work of Tsul’kalu, the slant-eyed giant who lived in a remote part of the Great Balsam Mountains.
