Now that I got your attention! The Nacoochee Sky Serpent is by far the most surprising discovery that I have made during the past five years of living on the rim of the Nacoochee Valley in Northeast Georgia. I found it, while interpolating a USGS Lidar scan into a CADD-based terrain model on my computer. The structure does not reveal its full appearance on conventional USGS topography maps.

The tip of the tail was destroyed by the reconstruction of GA Hwy. 17 in the 1970s. However, hints of its presence are found in early USGS topographic maps, plus recent infrared imagery.

Much like the situation with the 7 acre stepped pyramid in Batesville and the Kenimer Mound in Sautee, the structure was missed by numerous, highly respected archaeologists, who visited the Valley in the past, because it is so large. From north to south, it is about 2000 feet (620 m) long and from east to west, it is about 1200 feet (366 m) wide. At its highest point, it is 51 feet (15.5 m) above the natural slope of the hillside. In all dimensions, it dwarfs the “Great Serpent Mound” in Ohio.

Typical of most earthen pyramids and ceremonial earthworks, constructed by the Itza and Kekchi Mayas, the Sky Serpent appears to have been sculpted from natural terrain on the hill side. Most mounds and earthworks in eastern North America were created by piling baskets of earth or clay on a riverine or stream flood plain.,

The nearby village is egg-shaped, which suggests the snake hatchin out of an egg.

Here is another birds-eye view of the Sky Serpent and Kenimer Mound.

The enormous Kenimer Pyramid was sculpted from the top of a large hill in the village of Sautee, GA. It is still in excellent condition, other than the missing temple. The temple was constructed of fieldstones and quarried stones, lain in a mortar, composed of clay and lime. During the 1970s, a couple, recently relocated from Florida, demolished the remaining walls of the temple then hauled the stones to their dream home site to build chimneys and retaining walls.

The Kenimer Mound is identical in every detail, including construction methodology, to the earthen pyramids constructed by the Itza and Kekchi Mayas in the mountains of Chiapas, Guatemala and Belize. These pyramids were dedicated to their Sun God, Kinach Ahau. In contrast, the Apalache of northeast Georgia worshiped a female sun goddess, Amana, who was also worshiped in Bronze Age Iberia and parts of northwestern South America.
