"THE LEGEND OF THE CLOUD PEOPLE"
Gran Villaya, the city of "Cloud People", the largest pre-Columbian city of the Americas, was once inhabited by the Chachapoyas, legend says, a group of tall, blue-eyed blondes. Today the ancient city is shrouded by overgrowth in the high tropical rain forest of northern Peru, but just a millennium ago, it was still a grand metropolis of fortresses and farms that covered 100 square miles.
The Chachapoyas were conquered by the Incas in 1480. Spaniards reported it, the Incas reported it, and as you go deeper into the dense jungle, tall, blonde, blue-eyed people are still found. Up until very recently, some of these people still used mummy caves (like their Aryan-Egyptian relatives).
There are 10,000 stone structures, complex units of circular buildings. Stairways run up terraces for several hundred yards, and there are underground caverns and about 24,000 circular structures of cut limestone. Kirelap, a great elliptical fortress whose walls soar to 60 feet, and which is thought to have once reached 150 feet, defends Gran Villaya from the east.
From the west, the city and its agricultural terraces are guarded by a chain of fortifications. Local myths trace the Chachapoya culture to the 10th century BC.
The people there were architects, farmers, and engineers who built aqueducts, canals, bridges, and once were in contact with the seas. The archaeological discoveries of Gran Villaya have already located 43 lost cities high in the Andes.
Researchers have found roads built from huge stones leading down to the Amazon. There are few stones in the jungle, so they were likely transported there. Pizzaro, the Spanish conqueror of Peru, recording the persistence of white blood at that time, wrote that "The ruling class in the kingdom of Peru was fair-skinned with fair hair about the color of ripe wheat."
Anthropologists in 1971 discovered a tribe of white-skinned Indians in the depths of these jungles. English explorer Colonel P.H. Fawcett, wrote in 1924 of also finding remote South American tribes with blue eyes and auburn hair.

Actually, they were more likely of the tribe of Dan, if these artifacts predate the captivites of the mid first millenium B.C. The tribe of Dan were the ship builders and explorers of the 12 tribes. That's why there's a trail through Europe from the Caucusus to Ireland with rivers, town, and countries named after the tribe of Dan. Before they set out on foot after the first captivity, they overtook the Phoenicians in exploring a big part of the world in ships.
The Welsh and the Celts are probably descended from Dan. They would've arrived in the British Isles in ships before the captivities. Then after the captivites, the British, who would have been of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh (mostly Ephraim) arrived after going across Europe in the great migrations. The Welsh and the British are cousins. Just like the British and the Jews are cousins, and therefore Americans and Jews, Americans being mostly of the tribe of Manasseh.
Look at the original Hebrew word translated into "peacocks" and you'll see that in Hebrew it was pronounced "Tookees". Turkeys?

...Dr. Joe Mahan is a strong believer in cultural contacts between the Indians and the East, long before Columbus. He showed me a small tablet containing ancient cuneiform writing of the Babylonians. "This," he said, "was found not long ago by a woman digging in her flower bed, here in Georgia. The inscription appears to be genuine. There is no reason not to believe it is authentic."I'd like to find out more about the Babylonian cuneiform tablet from Georgia.
...In 1968 Manfred Metcalf was looking for slabs to build a barbeque pit. Several strange-looking, flat rocks caught his eye; he picked up a large flat piece of sandstone about nine inches long, brushed it off, and noticed odd markings on it. Metcalf gave the stone to Dr. Joseph B. Mahan, Jr., Director of Education and Research at the nearby Columbus Museum of Arts and Crafts at Columbus, Georgia. Mahan sent a copy of the stone to Cyrus Gordon. Gordon reported:"After studying the inscription, it was apparent to me that the affinities of the script were with the Aegean syllabary, whose two best known forms are Minoan Linear A, and Mycenaean Linear B. The double-axe in the lower left corner is of course reminiscent of Minoan civilization. The single verticle lines remind us of the vertical lines standing each for the numeral '1' in the Aegean syllabary; while the little circles stand for '100.'"
Oh well, Mahan is dead.

About the Reading Room
Dedicated in 2003, the Columbus State University Archives houses The Institute for the Study of American Cultures/Joseph B. Mahan, Jr. Research Room. The materials located in the Reading Room cover a wide range of subjects, including Pre-Columbian North America, Native Americans, and Ancient Studies. Items in the collection include monographs, periodicals, and maps. These items are searchable through GIL, the online catalog of Columbus State University. While CSU and ISAC are separate entities, an Advisory Board coordinates donations of materials to the Research Room.
About ISAC
The Institute for the Study of American Cultures is a non-profit entity founded in 1983 in Columbus, Georgia. The purpose of the institute is to coordinate and sponsor a competent, objective, multi-disciplinary investigation of Pre-Columbian and American Indian History. Dr. Joseph B. Mahan was instrumental in founding the group and served as a leader of the organization from 1983 until his death in 1994.
