They were NOT Timucua as assumed by archaeology profs.
The Georgia Apalache in the northern part of the state were entirely different people, who were the ancestors of the Creek Indians.
he Florida Apalachee were Peruvian Arawaks, whereas the Georgia Apalache were descended from a mixture of Bronze Age Greeks, Uchee, Panoans from Peru. Chickasaws and Western Mayas.
^This birds-eye view of a computer model of the southern end of Cumberland Island. GA looks a little “artistic,” but actually is precise to 1/1000 of a meter. The physical features will look much more realistic close-up. The computer model took me three months, working almost every day, to create.

When I tell readers that I have no theories and will correct any mistaken interpretation immediately after discovering my error. I mean it.
Lies your archaeology book and Wikipedia tell you
All the books written by the Gringo Archaeological Old Guard for the past 40+ years tell you that the coast of Georgia, north of the Altamaha was uninhabited at the time of Columbus’s voyages. I have lots of French and British eyewitness documents that say otherwise. For the past two three decades or so, the Old Guard and their underlings told us that everything south of the Altamaha River was occupied by the Timucua from their imperial capital in Jacksonville. No Gringo Prof in Florida seemed to realize that Timucua is just a Spanish mispronunciation of Tamakoa, which is a generic Mesoamerican-Carib word for “trade people.”
Of course, no academician in South Carolina, Georgia or Florida has ever translated the indigenous tribal and town names. They just made up simple stories about a dumbed down version of Southeastern Indigenous Peoples that were easy for them, with their limited knowledge base, to agree on.
All the textbooks said that the Mocamas were Timucuas and their main town of Takatakuro was located somewhere near Cumberland island. No ones knew the names of any “Timacua” village on Cumberland Island.
I quickly figured out that Takatacuro was a Carib tribe in Venezuela and the name of a tribe near Midway, GA – 33 miles (53 km) south of Savannah. So, I figured that there were towns with a Carib name back in the 1500s, both in Midway and near Cumberland Island. I therefore designed Venezuelan Carib buildings for my computer model of Cumberland Island. They must be replaced.
Detail of extreme Southeast Georgia from the 1565 water colored map of “La Florida” by resident Fort Caroline artist, Jacques Le Moyne. The Latinized town name Hanocorrou means “Elite Tribe or People.” In other words, this was the tribal capital for the St. Marys River Basin,
The Indigenous People of the Okefenokee Swamp and the St. Marys River Basin called themselves Serashi (Offspring of Sera) . . . not Mocama. Their religious capital was on Billy’s Island in what was then a lake, similar to Lake Okeechobee. Apparently, the Okeefenokee did not shrink into a swamp appearance until the Late Colonial Period.
The Spanish called these people the Mocama, but that word is not mentioned by the French. The Spanish were notorious about coining new names for conquered peoples. The Florida Apalache did not call themselves Apalache. The real Mayas were only one tribe with branches in South Florida and North Central Yucatan.
The mouth of the Altamaha River was Proto-Creek (Chontal Mayas) with the exception of Sapelo Island, which is a Panoan word from Peru. St. Simons Island was Panoan. Jekyll Island was Taino, while Cumberland was, I now know, Peruvian Arawak. On the mainland were an ethnic mixture of village names, with Panoan predominating in the north and Peruvian Arawak predominating in the south. South of the St. Marys River in present-day Florida, was pure Timucua.
What the late 20th century Lords of Seth did is slide several Georgia tribes and principal towns southward to the vicinity of Jacksonville and St. Augustine on the maps that accompanied “revised history” articles and books. They then claimed in these publications that these tribes and towns had immediately “disappeared” shortly after St. Augustine was founded. Actually, most of these tribes and tribal towns eventually moved to Southwest Georgia and ultimately joined the Creek Confederacy.
When I finish the architectural changes to he Cumberland Island Model, I will let readers see them close up.
