Up in the North Georgia Mountains near Chatsworth, Georgia you will find a state park called Fort Mountain State Park. For a long time now there has been a mystery surrounding the mysterious wall on the top of the large Georgia mountain. The mystery actually got solved a long time ago, as for who built it and why. The officials running the state park don’t want to give up the secrets and make this public information. They rely heavily on visitors coming in through their gates each year and the wall’s mysterious past keeps a lot of them flowing in each year. If they told why the wall was built and who built it; they would probably lose 30% or more from park and camping fees. So officials will be keeping the Fort Mountain State Park secret under their hat for at least a few more years, if not forever.

I can help to clear up one thing about the “moon-eyed people” the Cherokee Indians use to refer to in the 1700′s. These people may have been in the area before the Indian civilizations set up shop in Georgia. However, for anyone who thought these moon-eyed people might be aliens, I can tell you otherwise. Through an extensive research and trying to discover as much information as possible on the moon-eyed people of Fort Mountain state park, I have come to learn why the Indians in North Georgia call these people  moon eyed. The MoonEyed folks living around Fort Mountain in Chatsworth, Georgia was actually a group of folks who had excellent night vision. Not sure if we could consider it better than average or to what extent their night vision powers could reach. They did have better eye-sight than the Cherokees at night and it was the Indians in Georgia who noticed and caught on to their excellent night vision. The Moon-Eyed people in Georgia were simply given their name, because they could see better at night than the Georgia Indians could. I know this might not be an exciting final answer to the mysterious moon eyed people of North Georgia, but this is the factual conclusion.

As for the mysterious wall, I can tell you the story here is pretty boring too. Some did think the wall was a defensive wall and there were a number of groups who could have built it, to defend their self from rival groups over the last 2,000 years. After taking a closer look, you could see the wall wouldn’t be much help for a defensive battle. The wall does offer an interesting design; which pertains to the Sun. It is built in a way, so the rising sun from the East can light up one side of the wall. While the Sun setting in the western sky, the other side of the wall becomes lit up. So, I can tell you the Sun was a big influence in the creation and design of the mysterious Fort Mountain Wall in Georgia.

I will let the park keep some of the secrets associated with the wall in Murray County.  Like who built it and when exactly did they build it? Both of these things are known, but the officials at Fort Mountain State park is not planning to make this public knowledge anytime soon. I would guess a little over 100 people currently know the full story about the wall at Fort Mountain state park in Northern Georgia. Normally 2 people can’t keep a secret for very long, so I would imagine in time, the truth will slip out and everyone can know the full and complete story about this 800+ feet wall in length and never going above 7 feet in height. Now on to more unsolved Georgia mysteries…
