Perched atop Fort Mountain in northern Georgia stands a mysterious stone wall, stretching 885 feet. Today, no one knows who built the structure, nor what purpose it served. There exist several possible candidates, each more intriguing than the last: Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto, alleged Welsh immigrants led by the legendary Prince Madoc, or the indigenous Adena. Some contemporary Cherokee residents, however, attribute the ruins at Fort Mountain to the Moon-Eyed People, an enigmatic 5 race of short, subterranean dwellers with oversized eyes who only emerged at night. Who were the members of this vanished race, what evidence remains to support their existence, and— most intriguingly—were they even human?
