The Lost Tribe of Clover Hollow – Oldest Civilization in the World Found in Appalachian Mountains?

Both the south and north sides of Sinking Creek would have risen steeply with rock formations covering both sides. A narrow ancient Native American trail would have wound itself along the south side of Sinking Creek alongside the steep cliff, and the north side would rise steeply toward the sky, unchanged from what it is today. The creation of the dam and millpond in the early 1800’s effectively cut off the north side of Sinking Creek from any human contact since. The only thing that has changed on the north side of the creek since the millpond was created is the water level. You can still imagine the steep slope of the creek side continuing further down under the water of the millpond.

Petroglyphs and Stone Alignments

Ancient cultural influences detected at Clover Hollow include strange and mystical stone alignments. Facing each other across Sinking Creek are two rock outcroppings that stand there like the piers of a gate. The carvings on these ‘gateposts’ are the same abstract facial features and artistic self expression as found on all the rock formations at the site—very anthropomorphic in style and design. They look as though they could be straight out of an Indiana Jones movie. All of the ancient rock carvings at this site are 3D in nature and could be described as ‘petroglyphs of the broad type’ as one archaeologist has suggested.
