the lake city tombs

 I like to research things just for the fun i know how silly. well, i decide that i wanted to know more about where i have grown up and in my research i found that in the 1920's a man with the last name Dumazuel was drilling oil about 65 feet under ground when they accidental finding the petrified remains of prehistoric men. woman, and kids. local people called the site "the lake city tombs". Of course with all good stories there is mystery. The man who found the site name was Edmund Robillard then he married and took her name and with her name wealth and royal status.
  He turned the tombs into a tourist attraction to make money, the people of my wonderful town being the close minded people that they are tried to blow up the entrance to the site. that did not discourage Dumazuel. He cleared the debris and made the opening bigger, upon making it bigger he discovered a stone tablet with hieroglyphics. He took the money from the site to start constructing a second concrete entrance with descending tunnels. At the bottom of the first set of stairs in a huge iron gate that was closed all times they weren't doing any construction.After the iron door the first tunnel. the tunnels once finished were to lead into the underground cavern on one side where you can see the bodies in there original position then they would come out on the other side after passing through a small underground chapel where other relics and things that were found are on display.
 Unfortunately they were not finished . Dumazuel had two young sons one of them accidental shot and killed the other. Dumazuel was so dis trot that he drove around with his dead son in his car for many days till officials made him properly bury him it was then that he made and above ground tomb for his son. Mr Dumazuel had previously worked for the government and was asked back to washington. In his attempt to save the tombs he gave it the the cathloic church. The city of lake city saw fit to remove all of the buildings then they filled the original shaft with many truck loads of dirt. and the second shaft was capped and covered with earth.
     In my research i found that in 2005 a local lawyer robert jordan bought the property from the church and turned it to commerical subd. he said that when he first bought the property he had equipment out there and tried to reopen it he only went 20 feet down. So i've tried talking to him about preserving the tombs i have showed him all of the reports.He doesn't believe that the remains are real.
 so now since a rich lawyer doesn't believe that they are real and bought the property we will forever lose a piece of history.
