Lost History of Ancient North America Found in Old Newspaper Articles Part II – Buried Cities, Megalithic Walls, Ancient Stone Structures, Artifacts, and Mummies of Lost Civilizations of The United States, Newspaper Clippings 1800s-1930s

**Old Newspaper Clippings of Mysterious Ancient Discoveries in The US – Part 2**

This post builds on themes I highlight in my previous post on this sub; ([link here](https://old.reddit.com/r/AlternativeHistory/comments/1k6xycc/old_us_newspapers_from_the_westward_expansion/))

This time around, I used the New York Times newspaper archive “timesmachine” to find those stories which were published by such a “major” publication. I also use sources curated by the excellent researcher “The Archivist”, @1_analog_9 on YT/twitter. (the ones which have colored highlights were found by him).

For ease of reading I also [made an album](https://imgur.com/a/CodRc8p) of the individual clippings in case you have trouble reading the combo image.

A few interesting points and corroborations with these articles:

1) the wall “Mississippi’s Great Wall” article is still locally known in the area as the “Brandywine Wall”; [a local CBS news team did a piece on it in 2020](https://www.wjtv.com/living-local/focused-on-mississippi/focused-on-mississippi-brandywine-wall/), which included the following details:

> “[a local resident] showed me where these rocks has come from; a small ledge or wall out behind his house. He told me his dad told him that if you cleared all of the trees and soil off, this table of flat rock would stretch a mile all the way back to Brandywine Creek. That would be big enough to fit the legend.”

While it is mostly re-buried in soil and vegetation today, the locals confirm the legend.

2) the article “WORK OF ANCIENTS” (1898) describes the discovery of carved stone tumuli in Alaska. While I can’t find any modern corroboration, the description of the find matches the tumuli created by the mysterious Etruscan culture of Europe ([examples here](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1158/))

3) the article FINDS ANCIENT CITY IN SONORA, MEXICO from 1935 is one of the most modern articles of this kind I’ve seen published; the most interesting part is that there are plentiful photos of his finds, including the one shown in this post (found on getty images) and yet these discoveries are either not discussed, or are called “pseudoscience” by modern academia. Yet here we have photographic proof of these anomalous remains.
