Investigate the controversial claim of a pre-Columbian Mayan civilization presence in Georgia, USA, centering on the Track Rock site which features extensive terracing and architectural similarities to Maya ruins. Forensic geologist Scott Walter, after being denied physical access to the site, uses advanced technology like LiDAR to reveal sophisticated ancient structures and leverages X-ray diffraction analysis of Maya Blue pigment, ultimately finding a near-perfect match with palygorskite clay from Georgia. This scientific evidence, combined with strong archaeological, linguistic, and astronomical connections (like spiral mounds and shared iconography), is presented as definitive proof of a direct Maya-Georgia link, challenging the long-held academic narrative of North American history.
