- The Duck River has played a very important role in the lives of people past. Old Stone Fort is a shining example of how central the river was to prehistoric cultures. Follow along as Park Ranger Leigh Gardner tells us the story of Old Stone Fort and why its location along the Duck River was key in its use as a ceremonial ground.
Great video. Very informative.
Excellent speaker.
Old stone fort is a beautiful park! We just put a video up on it the other day! Can’t wait to finish visiting them all this coming year! Thanks for making such great memories possible!
How have I never seen this place. 423 here
I'm from Knoxville TN, here performing magic at the Coffee County Fair ! 🎉 September 2022.
In my 56 years, I've never visited the
Old Stone Fort till now.
I took the "below the wall" perimeter trail today and thoroughly enjoyed it ! 🙃
I think I went backwards, starting to the right - where the mill ruins are.
The "above the wall" perimeter trail appears to be the way to go for those with mobility issues.✅
Highly recommend ! 😮
Why is there no mention of Prince Madog and the Welsh Indians? There are to many clues pointing to them to just ignore.
A Mainstream Academic habit, ignoring History Facts, Archaeology Finds, and Geological Peer Reviewed Facts.
It will change, DNA Studies are setting their Darwinian Theory aside for Modern Humans and their whole Paradigm and Timeline has been based on that "Theory".
Its like it is their Religion, they defend it so. ...and that is most unscientific. Theory is just not Fact.
Great video but I do not believe the woodland indians built the mounds nor had the knowledge and specific understanding of alignment, summer solstice etc. The suni indians and other tribe say they came from south America around Belize? that the mounds were here prior to them and they refer to the builders as the mound builders/those that mediate with the gods. Not my words, there's. Maybe look into east tn pyramid, april of 1943 was an article on it. During the hydro electricity project an (Egyptian pyramid) was uncovered on native Americans lands that's now under the clintch river. TVA brought the leading London museum (whatever you want to call him) to the site where he and his team uncovered ancient Egyptian artifacts, some funky shaped skeletal remains and it was 100 percent without a doubt deemed an ancient Egyptian pyramid then it was flooded for hydro power. Just like rockwall tx is a 20 mile diameter 7 story wall buried under the ground but true history is muddied for a not so true past.
I have two suggestions regarding the park and video.
1) Why is there no conservation effort underway to prevent the eventual erosion of the mounds? Most parks keep them clear and clean, but there is no noticeable effort at Old Stone Fort to remove any tree growth upon the mounds, especially younger trees that have only been growing in the past few years. These will eventually destroy the mounds. I have been to the park 5+ times in the last few years and each time the museum was receiving a new renovation (and it currently is very subpar to what it was years ago; I’m not sure why you reduced the museum to what it is now) but yet no service is being done to the mounds. If you are really conservationists, you would focus less on the museum and more on the actual archaeological aspect of the park.
2) You really need to reupload this video to correct one glaring bit of misinformation. You present the origins of the “fort” as a place of ceremony and who exactly it was who built it. The truth of the matter is we do not know who built them, nor do we know what purpose it served. Another valid theory is it was a center of commerce and we know they over the years the interior has been raised, meaning the mounds would have been much higher. Given the right opening, a place of trade would validly fit the design. My point is this: you should start your video off as “It is theorized that…” Not doing so is blatant misinformation.
Thanks Karen.
Do you know what remains have been found ? Pottery, bones, etc.
Do you know if any altars have been found where there may have been sacrifices?
