 This treasure story begins with two indians that were hunting around the base of Devils tower, Wyoming, they decided to stop and take a closer look at the rocks. At one place, they found a narrow passage that went under the tower and opened up into a large cavern with a lake several yards across and having it's banks covered with gold. They decided they would cover the entrance and come back another time to get the gold but never did returned. Today the tower is protected and is concidered a secret site to the natives in the area. Although people have searched for the golden lake under devil's tower but no entrance was ever found that lead to a lake, dispite the fact that several passage ways were found around the tower.

So, then, would this be what the movie 'National Treasure 2' was referring to and then changing the location to Mt. Rushmore for artistic or 'otherwise' purposes? In one scene, regarding Cibola, they referred to it as being in the Center of the World. Well, the local Sioux Peoples consider Bear Butte (as they call it) to be the 'Center of the World'. The Midewewin considers the Center of the World to be where their Order was created (possibly the Mediterranean-'Middle Earth') and where they finished their Great Migrations, Leech Lake MN. Looking at a map, hydrolically speaking, there are four great waterways that emanate from a central location (A very long time ago, these waterways would have been more pronounced, but a Google Satellite map can make them more obvious how far and wide they were.) These waterways extrended to each of the cardinal directions. The city of Winnipeg now sits at the confluence of what remains of them. Interestingly enough the Manitoba Legislature building also stands there and we all know it is a Masonic structure. Hmmmmm.

I should be clear, or clearer. Bear Butte and Devil's Tower are two different locations. A quick google or wiki will clear that up. I was confused by other knowledge that many of the Tribes of the area called Devil's Tower, 'Bear's Lodge' and Bear Butte or Noahvose, which is the place the Cheyenne prophet 'Sweet Medicine' received his teachings which became central to Cheyenne Political and Social customs. It is the place where the Bear which both are named for landed after raising the Seven People (Some say children, and some say Women) who became the Pleiades into the sky at Bear Butte. Nevertheless, the idea of the Center of the World is a crossover motif in mythology.
