The Rock Lake pyramids

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

Since the 1930s, divers in Rock Lake have reported stone structures on the bottom, and the claim grew into sunken pyramids built by the same people who raised the great mounds at nearby Aztalan. Aztalan is entirely real, a major Mississippian town with reconstructed walls you can walk. The lake structures are the disputed part: geologists and state surveys read the features as natural glacial and lake-bed formations. Dive it and judge for yourself, then go stand in Aztalan, which needs no legend at all.

The ground it haunts

Rock Lake, Lake Mills (Jefferson County). Source: Real dives and a real ancient town nearby; the pyramids are not established. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
