Anyone else hear of this? Anyone actually been there to see it? In the foothills of Northern California (East Bay) , along the ridge tops of the foothills, there are rock walls stretching for about 50 miles. In some places they are only a couple feet high, in others much higher. You can see some of the wall in Ed Levin Park near Milpitas. These are stacked rock walls, without mortar, but very obviously not a natural feature. They are described as overgrown with lichen and lichen grows very slowly on exposed rock, so the walls have to be very old. More than just a couple hundred years. Very little research has been done on or about the walls. When the Spanish explored the area, they mentioned the walls as already being there. Some people have claimed that the Ohlone made the walls, but they didnt build walls in other places, and when asked (by the Spanish explorers) they claimed they had not done it and didnt know who did. So all the questions a person would ask, who did it, when it was done, why was it built... all those have the same answer; no one knows. That of course leads to a lot of speculation..... the walls resemble older portions of the Great Wall of China, and there are some maps made by Chinese explorers, that depict land with similar shapes to North and South America; so it could have been the Chinese. Marco Polo is also mentioned, and a map attributed to him does seem to show the Western US coastline. Some people claim they are prehistoric in origin.
