This was interesting. Has speculation about the Cherokee. America Unearthed: The Appalachian Giant

http://www.history.com/shows/america-unearthed/videos/the-appalachian-giant?m=5189717d404fa&s=All&f=1&free=false

I watched it tonight. It was interesting. Hopefully, that video works....fingers crossed.

The Appalachian Mountains are a region of incredible beauty and amazing legends. One such legend tells of a terrifying giant with a 7-clawed hand who left his mark on a massive rock. This incredible rock is sacred to Cherokee people who revere the artifact for its intriguing symbols and cultural significance. Others say the symbols aren't Native, but may be connected to visitors from afar--perhaps from over the ocean or from another world. Trying to set the record straight on this controversial stone, Scott Wolter heads to Appalachia. As Scott tries to determine the age of the carvings, he discovers the stone may have strange and mystical powers. He also learns that this isn't the only massive artifact in the region--the connection between the two may lead to a giant conclusion.

It will be repeated ad nauseum on H2. If you can catch it, it is interesting...well, for the "History" channel.

If I find another source, I will let you know. It isn't groundbreaking or anything, it is just something that was interesting. So you aren't missing a masterpiece or anything.

That is a lot of $$$ to have to come up with for a lot of nothing every month.

Throw in the connection to the internet that I have and my two-bit low income phone deal (some deal -- 30 calls a month is my limit) and it was coming it at over $125.00/month for nothing.

I do watch a lot of free stuff on youtube however.

Anyway, here's a not terribly friendly review of it:

Too bad he's ever-ready to accept the myth, esp when it involves Christian ones. Entertaining, and often informative, even when one scoffs at episode's premise.
