New Humanoid Cave Drawing Discovered in a Somewhat Unexpected Place
It’s not often you hear of such sites found in the United States.
During a city tour in Florance, Italy, a few years ago, my friend pointed out that most of the buildings on the tour are older than the United States of America. The United States is known for many things, but ancient cultures or structures aren’t among them. Even on the East Coast, the oldest area of the country, the oldest buildings are only a couple centuries old.
Whereas the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (also called the Duomo) in Florence was constructed almost 500 years before the United States was even founded. Further, when we think of ancient cultures, several come to mind, but none of them are thought to be in America. I suppose this is why I was a tad surprised when I learned that some ancient cave art was discovered depicting humanoid figures… in Alabama.
The Discovery
Imagine you’re out walking on your property somewhere in Alabama when you find an eastern-facing cave with an 80-foot wide opening. Feeling adventurous, you venture inside to discover a long tunnel. As you explore farther, the floor and ceiling slope closer together. Soon you don’t need to crawl, but you can’t quite stand up either. Curiosity running high…
