    I have my Pa Paw’s M1893 bayonet that he kept in his barn here in East Tennessee. Where did it come from? After reading about its history, I found out it was used not only in the Spanish American war at Puerto Rico but also by the Spanish military at the Philippines. Pa Paw said he got it while he was in the Navy during World War II. He served in the Pacific theater. I assumed it was a Japanese bayonet until I looked at it closer. Does your bayonet have a connection like that?

    Thank you for this honest, careful exploration of the legend of the Moon-Eyed People. Many European Americans found it really difficult to accept that American Indians knew and did so many amazing things--from being far better farmers than Europeans were (I can go into detail, if you like, but you probably already know this) to still embracing gynocentric (female-centered) lifestyles that were more democratic than anything most of them had seen before (their only European references, that they knew about, were the ancient Greeks and Romans, who were not fully democratic). Our House of Representatives, in particular, is based on the Iroquois Nation's democratic organization wherein representatives were elected by the Clan Mothers to represent each village in their Confederacy meetings. Most American Indian nations have some sort of story about "little people," which was one of the reasons the "thinkers" of Jefferson's day thought they had to be related to the Welsh, but my favorite story about this incorrect assumption of a Welsh connection is from anthropology, which was a new science in the 1800s. A group of EuroAmerican anthropologists went to the pueblo people with a Welsh "translator" because they assumed they spoke Welsh--they didn't, but the Indians, who had someone among them who spoke English, astonished the EuroAmericans and shared many stories with them. Through the translator, the anthropologists shared the plot of MacBeth with them, so, after a couple of decades when new anthropologists went out to study the pueblo cultures, they were amazed when they were told the story BACK as though it was, originally, a pueblo story. Most of the American Indians I know (I am of Choctaw-Chickasaw descent) find this and other such stories hilarious.

    @0:26 See the part that has chipped off? Its yellow-ish. It was attached to something... before it was PETRIFIED. If you go look around at the rocks that are found in the riverbeds, most of them are are of similar size, there are some that are very large, and of course there are the very small ones (and there are LOTS OF THEM), and they will ALL have these 3 characteristics in varying degrees. 1) A FLAT FACE. Some of these rocks will have what would be described as unnatural or looks to be cut the faces are so flat and straight. That's because they aren't "natural". Opposite of the "Flat Face" will be... 2) A ROUNDED BACK. Similar to that of a 3 Wood golf club. Flat face/round back. Which brings us to the most important characteristic that they ALL have if it hasn't been entirely tumbled/smoothed/worn away... 3) A GEOMETRIC BREAK where it was attached. The rocks have a squared break that is geometric, in opposition to nature, the word you're looking for is CLEAVAGE. There will be one spot on the rocks that will have this break. You won't believe it, because you're stuck on rocks being ancient tools, used to bash things... or what have you. THE ROCKS that have these 3 characteristics ARE SIDE MIRRORS for vehicles. I can hear the cognitive dissonance crashing in your head from where I sit. The best part about this FACT, not theory, that you're going to have to deal with is... YOU CAN TEST IT !!!! PROVE ME WRONG. Because right now, the burdening of truth, is something of a rare find of itself When you're out looking at rocks. If you're intelligent enough to break through your conditioning you'll start seeing things for what they really are CLEAR YOUR MIND.... this discovery I have made is in it's infancy and you can be at the head of it. This is a huge change in GEOLOGY. I'm going to bet you never read this because I'm that I'm ultra-sneaky-pedigree, shadow-banned, to - the - MAX.AND if my comments were visible to the public I couldn't read them.

    I know a huge property in Old Fort adjacent to the train tracks where the homeowners are quite accustomed to native Indians periodically making a pilgrimage there to gain access and approval to follow up the ridge line to their ancestral graves deep in the woods. Fascinating stuff when they just show up with gifts and kindly asking permission to return to their buried bloodline that only the homeowners and those select few (Cherokee?) Indians are even aware of.

    • @HistoryHoundDetecting
      @HistoryHoundDetecting 2 місяці тому

      That was the most common guess as to its use, but I’m still on the skeptical side of that idea. For fire starting I think it would involve all wood components. Wood fire board, wood spindle, and wooden pressure plate. Some have said that the stone could be the upper pressure plate and the hole comes from the wood spindle wearing through the rock. But that hole was made by drilling from both sides and meeting in the middle…so that would require precise placement of the wooden spindle for that to occur. And for a simple pressure plate, I don’t see that. But it’s all speculative all the way around and I appreciate your input.

      It’s all about location around here. I’m mostly hunting high elevation camps that were frequented before ceramics had been discovered. I’ve found more stone bowl pieces than pottery at elevation. These bowls were left at these camps for seasonal use as they followed the nut and berry harvest up into high elevation. The valley floors hold the large village sites that were formed after they became a more agrarian people. Those sites are indeed covered with vast amounts of pottery. The random piece does pop up at elevation but they are rare.

That would require pretty precise drilling to make that happen. So that kind of excludes it being a fire starting cap weight that just eventually wore through.
