I'm Cherokee and fascinated with the varied archeological records. Yes It's beautiful, has historic value but is not in the least sacred. It's an abandoned homesite and quite morally, anyone could write or draw with equal privilege as the original inhabitants. Obviously it challenges our sensibilities but throughout the thousands of years, both historic and prehistoric, people have scribed, scribbled and painted over one another's stuff. The contemporary bias is in "it's not old enough."

@@scottjosen2606 What does you being Cherokee have to do with it? Do you know which tribes lived here? Do you know their beliefs? If you do, it's a weird take to say it's not sacred.

@@Toad_Moto Yeah, pretty good feel for it all. I could rattle off the names and proclivities of peoples with which I'm familiar with from Tierra Del Fuego through the Aleutian Islands. I mention being 'Cherokee' though it was not our name for our people. I cite my Native American, Aboriginal People, American Indian status as a matter of allowing the reader to better gauge my post. The true name of these people is lost to time, people are prone to assigning tags nonetheless, as exampled by those labels affixed above to America's more ancient inhabitants. The ruins we abandoned, neglected and ultimately forgotten, they are only as sacred as one might imagine but only in that. "Sacred" is a term abused today as much, if not more so, than the habit of referring to any dogooder as a "Hero". The examples of piled up refuse are simply discarded things tossed aside including food scraps. Yes, folks like to ascribe fanciful things to ancient remnants but so much of it is simply interest evidences of days long past. My people, "Cherokee" and the ancient people of the Southwest had simply done the best they could with what they had and considered many things 'sacred' along the way - exactly as had done all of our more distant relatives. Stonehenge, the pyramids at Giza, Gobekle Tepe..... Maccu Piccu, Polenque, none of them are sacred, not even the Great Smoky mountains.

Why would you write your name maybe because it's what man has been doing for thousands of years. You think stone age art is any different than people today carving their name to leave their mark just like all of our ancestors and all land is sacred to humans. And all "native American" land was sacred to a tribe before a new tribe took it then one day Europeans came along took the land and now it's sacred land to all Americans for us to leave our mark in stone so our future generations can rember us

@@jeremysales1232 there's a huge difference from scratching your name on a tree or a rock than doing it at an ancient and historical site. The guy that called me high and mighty doesn't understand that. He's probably justifying himself for something.
