I ran into this video the other day, before I saw you post it. I had watched a podcast with the same guy, Luke Caverns, talking about the Aztecs. He mentioned that he has been focusing his research on Native American tribes around colonial times. I wanted to contact Luke Caverns, to make sure he was aware of your research. I found that he was part of a Mayan organization based out of Georgia called the Maya Exploration Center.
Is the Mayan Exploration Center in alignment with your research showing that Mayas were one of the tribes in the pre-colonial Southeastern United States? Is this an organization you are friendly with? Or is this an organization that is pushing the imposter Cherokee narrative that they built everything for the last 1000 years?
Please let me know. If the organization is in agreement with you/us, I think you should be in communication with them. Luke Cousins has a pretty big following on YouTube and could really help spread the correct knowledge. He is currently doing two video series that your input could really help. One of these is his First Explorers series, about New World explorers that were overlooked by mainstream history. He hasn’t yet mentioned Brigstock or Sephardic gold miners, so he probably has no idea about the Kingdom of Apalache. The other video series he is calling American Wilds, said to dive into the unknown history of the Americas.This is the series with the Jaguar video. As you know the video mentions Panthers and Tygers (Jaguars), but not the Lions that you have written about. And he plans on telling more ‘forgotten’ stories of America. Your research could help him to tell those stories correctly.
Hey Mary Starfire Kelly. I had never heard of the Maya Exploration Center. I will try to make contact with it. Luke Caverns mentioned explorer John Lawson. That’s how I knew about the jaguars and large lions being in the Southeast. However, Lawson said that the Appalachians were dominated by mountain lions, the jaguars lives west of the Chattahoochee and the American Lions lived between the Chattahoochee and the Savannah River, where the large herds of Woodland Bison roamed. Very frankly nobody in Georgia contacts me – except you. I get emails from researchers in Canada, Latin America and northern Europe – but seldom from the USA. Thank you for writing me.
I first heard Luke Caverns on the Joe Rogan Show. He was talking about the Olmec civilization and several museums he visited in Mexico that had Olmec artifacts, heads and pottery that people hardly visited. In one museum the last people to sign the visitor book was 2 years previous to his visit. I have watched other videos on his you tube channel and i think his is very good. You should reach out to him about your language work, its very compelling. If I remember right, on the Joe Rogan show Luke said he was moving to the Nanahala Area in North Carolina. Even he said, like you have before, the Nanahala Forest was a very special place, a southeastern rain forest unlike anything else in North America.
Cats are very secretive animals and I would not be surprised if Jaguars had a much larger range than the scientist think. You have written about the Jagarundy and reported sightings of that small very elusive cat in you area, so why couldn’t large cats be in the area? I see dead deer in the road sides around the Gainesville area almost every day so there is plenty of game around for them.
