Hey guys, we are flying over the woods and
I am going to show yet another mystery that
is only visible from the air in Putnam County,
Georgia.
I am Praveen Mohan and just a few videos back;
I showed you something similar called the
Rock Eagle Mound which is about 20 miles away.
Here, we have yet another bird man effigy
called Rock Hawk mound built somewhere between
one thousand and three thousand years ago.
My quadcopter has to fly from a parking lot
a few hundred feet away because the GPS and
the compass won't work from this location.
Even though this is called the Rock Hawk Mound,
nobody knows what it represents.
It doesn't even really look like a bird.
From the top, you can see it looks like a
giant airplane or a man in a wingsuit.
You can also see a very tall viewing tower
built especially for this mound, because you
can't tell the shape from looking at it from
the ground.
These animal figures called effigy mounds
only make sense when viewed from the air,
just like Nazca lines in Peru.
Now a few centuries ago, there used to be
plenty of these animal figures all over this
county.
When Europeans came in, they just built their
houses and roads right on top of them, so
there are only a very few left for us to see.
Locals say there are more, a snake effigy
and another mound called the Pressley mound.
I have explored this area for a few days,
but could not find the other mounds.
Talked to dozens of people and nobody knows
where these missing effigy mounds are and
nobody cares about them either.
This mound is made of thousands of pieces
of white quartzite, making sure it is visible
from a very high altitude, and before they
created the tower and the paved road, it was
surrounded completely by the woods.
And guess what, no trees were growing around
the mound to make sure it was not covered
by wilderness.
Whoever created this figure thousands of years
ago treated the land to make sure trees would
never grow around the mound.
This is always the case with the mounds.
Why? because the mound builders made sure
it will always be visible from the air.
And who would be able to see this from the
air thousands of years ago, except extraterrestrials?
These mounds could have been built all across
the U.S as aerial signals.
After all, we used to do the same in 1920s,
burying giant arrows called beacon arrows
on the ground to guide airplanes.
Now, we don't even know the actual dimensions
of this mound, because people tried to dig
into it, in search of treasure.
Nothing was found whatsoever but it destroyed
the actual shape, but it could be a birdman
because stones and plates of quote on quote
Birdmen have been found underneath other mounds
in Georgia.
I hope you liked this video, I am finding
a lot of ancient structures like this, so
please do subscribe to my channel.
Thank you for watching and talk to you soon.
