Ua kamaʻilio ka poʻe maoli ʻo Winnebago a i ʻole Ho-Chunk e pili ana i kahi "kauhale o nā pōhaku i lalo" ma lalo o Rock Lake mai ka makahiki 1830, i ka wā i hele mai ai nā paionia mua ma ka ʻāpana hema o Wisconsin ma waena o - ka mea i kēia manawa - Milwaukee a me ke kapikala ma Madison.
A hiki i ka wā i ʻike ai ʻelua mau ʻeke ʻeke i ka ʻaoʻao o ko lākou waʻa i ka wā maloʻo wai i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia iwakālua, ua hōʻole ʻia kā lākou moʻolelo ma ke ʻano he moʻolelo moʻolelo maʻalahi o India.
Ua ʻike lākou i kahi hale pyramidal nui e waiho pōʻeleʻele a nui loa i ka hohonu o Rock Lake. Mai ia manawa, ua uhi ʻia ka hale kanu i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ma muli o ka emi ʻana o ka ʻike ʻana i lalo o ka ʻāina i kōkua ʻia e ka pollution.
ʻO Kauka Fayette Morgan, he kauka niho kūloko a he kanaka hoʻokele kīwila mua ma Wisconsin, ʻo ia ka mea mua i ʻike i ka Lake Rock mai luna mai ma ka lā 11 ʻApelila, 1936. Ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā ʻano ʻeleʻele o nā hale ʻāpana ʻelua ma lalo o ka loko kokoke i kona kikowaena mai. ka cockpit hāmama o kāna biplane lanky e pōʻai ana ma 500 kapuaʻi.
Ua hana ʻo ia i nā kaʻa he nui a ʻike i ko lākou ʻano maʻamau a me ka nui nui, āna i manaʻo ai he ʻoi aku ma mua o 100 kapuaʻi kēlā me kēia. Ua pae ʻo Kauka Morgan e hoʻopiha i ka wahie a holo i ka home no kāna pahupaʻiwikiō, a laila lele koke ʻo ia e hopu i nā mea pohō ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Ua mae nā kia hoʻomanaʻo o ka loko i ke ahiahi ahiahi i kona wā i hoʻi mai ai.
ʻAʻole hiki i ka makahiki 1940 ka hoʻāʻo hou ʻana e kiʻi a ʻike hou paha iā lākou mai ka lewa i ka wā i ʻike hou ʻia ai lākou e kekahi pailaka ʻo Armand Vandre, a me kāna mea nānā cockpit hope, ʻo Elmer Wollin.
Akā, ʻoiai kā lākou mokulele ʻenekini hoʻokahi e kau ana ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka loko ma lalo o hoʻokahi kaukani kapuaʻi, ua kāhāhā ʻia lākou e kahi ʻike ʻokoʻa loa. He hale huinakolu nui i kikowaena pono e kuhikuhi ana i ka akau e moe ana malalo iho o ka wai malalo o iwakalua kapuai. Ua kū kekahi mau pōʻai ʻeleʻele ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka piko.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma lalo o ka ʻili o Rock Lake ma kahi o ʻumi hale. Ua paʻi a paʻi kiʻi ʻia nā mea ʻili a me nā sonar i ʻelua o lākou. No. 1, nona ka inoa Limnatis Pyramid, he 60 kapuai ka laula kumu, 100 kapuai ka loa, a he 18 kapuai kona kiekie, oiai he 10 kapuai wale no kona pii ana maluna o ka lepo lepo.
He pyramid i ʻoki ʻia i hana ʻia me nā pōhaku pōʻai ʻeleʻele. ʻO nā pōhaku ma luna o ke kua i ʻoki ʻia, he ʻālike. Hiki ke ʻike i ke koena o ka uhi uhi. ʻO ka lōʻihi o kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao like o ka delta i manaʻo ʻia e Vandre lāua ʻo Wollin he 300 kapuaʻi. He mokupuni liʻiliʻi i kanu ʻia, 1,500 kapuaʻi paha ka lōʻihi a 400 kapuaʻi ka laulā, e waiho ana ma ka ʻākau hikina o ka huinakolu.
ʻO ka mea kupanaha loa, ʻo ke ala pololei e holo ana ma lalo o ke kai mai ke kahakai hema a i ka piko o ka delta i kanu ʻia. I ka haʻi ʻana o Frank Joseph i ka nānā ʻana iā Lloyd Hornbostel, he kanaka kālaihonua kūloko, ua manaʻo ʻo ia ʻo ka laina ke koena o kahi kahawai pōhaku nui e hoʻopili ai iā Rock Lake me Aztalan, ʻekolu mile ka mamao.
ʻO Aztalan i kēia manawa he 21-acre archaeological park me kahi pā paʻa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kahi hapa o nā Pyramids o ka Lā a me ka mahina, ʻelua mau puʻu luakini lepo. Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kikowaena hoʻolauleʻa i kona wā nui i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 13. A laila, ʻekolu mau pā pōʻai me nā hale kiaʻi e hoʻopuni ana i kahi ʻekolu o nā hana lepo pyramidal i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā heiau lāʻau.
No ka moʻomeheu Mississippian luna ʻo Aztalan, ka mea i ulu ma waena o ʻAmelika Komohana a i ka Hema i kona pae hope, e hoʻomaka ana ma kahi o 1,100 AD, ʻoiai ʻo nā hoʻokolohua carbon-dating i hōʻike i kona mau aʻa kahiko loa i ʻike ʻia i ke kenekulia 3 BC.
Ua piʻi ka heluna kanaka i 20,000 poʻe, e noho ana ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o nā pā. Ua alakaʻi ʻia lākou e nā kāhuna astronomer i hoʻonohonoho pono i kā lākou mau pyramid no ka helu ʻana i nā hanana astronomical e like me ka solstice hoʻoilo, ka mahina, a me nā wahi Venus.
Ma kahi o ka makahiki 1320, ua puhi pohihihi ka poe Aztalane i ko lakou kulanakauhale, me ka haalele i kona mau pa i hoopauia i ke ahi. Ua hoʻi lōʻihi lākou i ka hema, e like me ke ola o Winnebago moʻomeheu waha. Ua hui like ko lākou hele ʻana me ka ulu ʻana o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Aztec ma ke awāwa o Mexico.
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hale i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma laila e wānana i kahi mea ʻoi aku ka nui e hiki mai ana ke kuhikuhi hope mākou i kā mākou haʻawina i ke kai a ʻimi i kona hohonu no ka ʻO ka punawai nalowale o ka moʻomeheu terrestrial—Atlantis.
He mea kaulana ʻo Rock Lake no kona mau hale pōhaku i kanu ʻia - nā puʻu kupapaʻu pyramidal o nā kāne i hana ma nā mines keleawe o Upper Peninsula o Michigan mai 3000 BC a 1200 BC. Ua ʻeli ʻia a mālama ʻia nā mines e nā ʻenekini Atlantean, no laila aia kekahi o nā lua kupapaʻu i lalo o ka wai i nā iwi o nā limahana Atlantean, wahi a Frank Joseph.
