West Virginia's Mount Carbon Has a Fortress on Top - Nobody Can Explain Who Cut the Steps Into Rock
On top of Mount Carbon in West Virginia, there is a stone fortress. Not a foundation. Not a scatter of rocks that someone decided to call a wall. A fortress. It has bastions. It has a ditch cut into the mountain's summit that functions as a dry moat. It has a staircase carved directly into the bedrock, leading from the valley floor to the fortified crest, and whoever carved those steps did it with tools that left clean, geometric cuts in sandstone that does not yield easily to anything. When the first white settlers climbed that mountain in the early 1800s, they expected forest. Instead, they found a military installation. The walls followed the contour of the summit with a precision that ruled out accident.
