One would think with a find of that significance, that the science and archeology world, would be all over it! It sounds more like someone is trying to hide it.

Those photos of the "wall" that really look like walls are from other places. The photos of the rocks and minerals are all from other places. This stuff is always fun, but sadly it's also b.s. The "walls" have been studied and it's not a wall. They are clastic dikes, a type of sedimentary rocks. The density of geologists in Texas is off the charts and its geology is pretty well studied.
Here are a couple of publications associated with studies of this:
Monroe, J.N., 1950, Origin of the clastic dikes in the Rockwall area, Texas. Field and Laboratory. v. 18, no. 4, pp. 133-143.
^ Ellwood, B.B., J. Payne, and G.J. Long, 1989, The Rockwall, Texas: A study of unusual natural magnetic effects in geoarcheological surveys produced by mineral oxidation. Geoarchaeology. v. 4, no. 2, pp. 103-118.

The Rockwall paper said the History channel is going to be filming America Uncovered about the wall in April and the Rockwall historical foundation is going to be uncovering a part of the wall and charging $10 to view it.

I'd pay - do,you know how to find out,more info as to time and place? Bug-e, thanks for the citations. I'm sure you are right.
I do enjoy a good Squirt now and then.

Utility workers digging in New York discovered telephone wires 200 feet down indicating New York had phone service in the early 1900's..Chicago workers found wires 300 feet down indicating phone service in 1900..Aggies dug down 500 feet and concluded that Texas was wireless long before those other places!!
