    There's been at least 1 giant human skeleton found in every county of Kentucky, in adiar County Kentucky I believe something like 136 giant skeletons were found in a massive cave
  • I want to note that while domestic horses (and the "wild" but actually feral mustangs descended from them) are not native to North America, there actually were native wild equids in the Americas in prehistoric times, and iirc some may have even survived long enough to coexist with the earliest humans here (assuming only the Bering land bridge timeline, obviously if we assume an earlier human presence then they almost certainly would have coexisted). There is a type of fruit tree native to the Midwest commonly called the Osage orange (although they are not related to actual citrus fruit) which bears these nearly basketball-sized green fruit that aren't edible to humans but are loved by (domestic and feral) horses, and are strangely also not really eaten by any living native wildlife in their ecosystem; it seems that they evolved to have their seeds spread by some large native North American mammal that went recently extinct, some have theorized it may have been giant ground sloths (which seem to have died out no more than 10,000 years ago), but the fact that horses imported from Eurasia seem to love eating them so much has also led some to speculate that their extinct cousins from this continent may have also had a predilection for them.
  • Here in Kentucky, many of us have learned not to talk. Outsiders talk down to us. You didn't talk about the lost silver mine, or about the people who lived and died in the cliffs that were above the sea water when a good part of Kentucky was under an ocean. There are many other strange and wonderful things about Kentucky.
  • I started watching this channel regularly only a couple months ago. The amount of subscribers has skyrocketed.
  • The Cherokee had stories of when they arrived about the “moon eyed people”. Little people who only came out at night.
  • I’ve lived in Kentucky all my life and this is my first time hearing about this. I really had no idea the remains of such a strange and sophisticated culture were literally under my feet this whole time
  • @georgew1751
    Having been born and raised in KY I enjoyed this very much. I saw a lot of these mounds and we were always just told they are Indian burial mounds. I know KY has a dark vibe that I did not notice as a kid but later became aware of it. When I was 9, 10 years old I roamed all over those woods and the only thing I was told to watch out for were copperheads and moonshine stills. My dad said both would get you hurt. The natives called Kentucky the "Dark and Bloody Ground"
  • @Ashtree108
    As someone who lives in Henderson Co. Can confirm that these mounds are all over the place here. They really are very interesting to look at.
  • in st louis mo a contract was being held to build a mall, in according to testimony of some workers they found the body WITH FUR of a wooly mamoth tusks and all in a layer of thick mud. in order to cover this up they were directed to elevate the parking lot additional inches and for everyone else to keep their big mouth shut. or else they would be out a lot of money to take care of this find. WITH THE HAIR.... there is no way this is thousands of years old with fresh hair. this should make everyone interested if it was all true. From what i've heard it is. and this mall is largely abandoned at this time with the body directly below the parking lot.
  • As a native kentuckian, I must say, congratulations on keeping a straight face when saying big bone lick. We have a Lot going on here in kentucky. Also, you might be interested in deep diving into mammoth cave national park
  • @mattwood7158
    There are remains, ruins, and from a tribe pre-Indian! Look into the history of the giants of Jekyll Island, GA!
  • I’ve had a strip mine equipment operator, here in Kentucky, tell me that they sometimes uncover huge bones and the supervisors tell them to them to doze them over and keep their mouth shut to keep from getting shut down by the government.
  • Kentucky 606 in this!!! The WLB ROCKS!!! thanks for sharing brother!!! Peace love & life family!
  • @Ghoosier
    Adena culture was really mysterious for sure. They were surprisingly advanced in understanding the stars and planet alignment. Among many other things..check out Serpent Mound in Ohio. That one really blows my mind why they made it and what they used it for.
  • Will be interested in what you come up with for South Carolina. 40 acer rock, stone giants, lizard men, and other stuff. Every state has its boogers. Interesting to hear about all of them.
  • @starrywisdom
    I am from Macon, GA where there is a mound complex. At least one mound was a gathering place. So some were hollow inside. I don't think most people realize that. There is also Cahokia Mounds in the south Illinois area. These places were spread over larges areas and had thousands of people. It's all right under your nose.
  • also, that paper from a couple years ago detailing the find in Southern California suggesting possible human activity there 100,000 years ago is pretty wild. The findings have been hotly contested, but the research team who published it came back with lab results indicating that there was actual pre-fossil mammoth bone dust ground into the flat stone surfaces they had speculated were being used to break the bones by smashing them with smaller rocks (an activity that would definitely imply humans, or at least hominids, which is why this whole find might be of some particular interest to sasquatch fans out there), and this gives the common rebuttal hypothesis that the mammoth bones at the site had just been broken recently by modern construction vehicles driving over the deposit much less ground to stand on (as the bones are old enough to have partly fossilized, so recent damage to them wouldn't leave pre-fossil bone residue like that). Again, bones being broken this way, all at the same site, 100,000 years ago really does not leave many options for natural processes, as it's not something any animal could readily manage unless that animal happened to have hands with opposable thumbs. Setting the clock this far back on human presence in the Americas opens up a number of interesting possibilities, including the fact that it was not only "our" species Homo sapiens (I say "our" in quotes because it actually turns out most modern humans have an awful lot of Neanderthal and sometimes Denisovan DNA for them to not be treated as our ancestors, too, imho at least) that was wandering the earth at that time, but several other known human/hominid species as well, so who's to say it was only H. sapiens that crossed over if the migration happened that long ago?? In fact, Neanderthals were in general better adapted to the extremely cold environments of the ice age, so it would almost seem strange for them not to have stumbled on the land bridge first, especially if they were following mammoth herds.
  • Dude I love your channel so much, I've been studying the paranormal for 20 years and dogman sightings for 4. I live in the SW quadrant of Virginia, from NC mountains. So between the dogman sightings, native American burial grounds, and the haunted houses I have many stories I'd love to share. My friend has her own show in YouTube, VAPI, Virginia Paranormal Investigation. They are amazing also. Keep up the good work bro, I will get some content together and send it to you asap

    I'm from ky. There's a strange footprint not far from me in the middle of a waterfall. There's a video of a pyramid in ky on YouTube doesn't give a location. What they taught us in school were mostly fairy tales. Awesome video, now I have some explanations ahead of me. Thanks. Go big blue!
