About a mile south on the Suwannee from Cone Bridge, an ancient, mysterious civilization existed. Little is known of these people, other than the faces they left carved in the limestone along the banks of the river. How was it possible to sculpt these stoic faces, forever gazing upward into the heavens?
Who did these mysterious sculptures represent? A king and his queen? We shall never know. As the rains return, and the river rises, the limestone faces will submerge to again rule the realm of the underworld. Or, sending their gaze upward before the waters rise, perhaps the mother ship will return and take their king and queen of stone home.
There is mystery upon the river. Revealed in the limestone broken from the banks, two faces looking upward. What are the odds of these two faces forming here, falling from layers, and coming to rest here? That, is a mystery indeed.
