Among the many fascinating stories in Native American folklore, few are as interesting as the legend of the Moon-Eyed People. These mysterious beings are said to have once lived in the Appalachian region before being driven away by the Cherokee. Described as red haired pale-skinned individuals with large, light-sensitive eyes, they could only see at night and were blinded by the sun. Theories of their origins range from lost European settlers to an ancient, pre-Columbian civilization.
Cherokee Accounts of the Moon-Eyed People
The Cherokee, one of the most well-documented indigenous tribes of the South-eastern United States, have passed down oral traditions describing an unusual race of people who lived in the mountains before their arrival in the Americas from Asia. According to legend, the Moon-Eyed People were nocturnal, dwelling in stone structures and caves, avoiding daylight due to their poor vision in bright conditions. Their peculiar traits set them apart from the Cherokee, who eventually waged war against them and forced them to flee westward, possibly into the depths of the earth or to an unknown location beyond recorded history.
Possible Origins and Theories
The true identity of the Moon-Eyed People has been widely debated. Some researchers speculate they could have been a remnant of an ancient civilization predating known indigenous groups. Others suggest a connection to early European explorers, such as the Welsh prince Madoc, who, according to legend, arrived in North America in the 12th century and may have intermingled with or influenced local populations.
Archaeological discoveries have fuelled speculation, with certain stone structures found in North Carolina and Georgia believed to be remnants of Moon-Eyed People dwellings. One such site is Fort Mountain in Georgia, where an ancient stone wall, attributed by some to the Moon-Eyed People, still stands as a silent witness to a lost chapter of history.
Similar Legends in Other Cultures
Interestingly, the Cherokee are not the only indigenous group with tales of red haired pale-skinned, light-sensitive beings. Similar legends exist in other Native American cultures, as well as in European and Celtic folklore, which speak of fair-skinned underground dwellers, sometimes linked to mythical beings such as the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish mythology.
A Legacy of Mystery
The mystery is solved when you read my book and discover these were in fact the Serpent Bloodline or Neanderthals as they have become known as in modern times. As I explain in my book ancient humans travelled to and settled in various different places all over the world, and it was long time before modern humans were created. And it fits absolutely perfectly to what I have explained before about us being nocturnal, red haired, blue eyed and pale-skinned. And the most ancient of humans.
