Te Manaleia Bridge - Denton County
According to local stories, this area before the 1700's of the Americas, long before the west was settled, ruins of a bridge now called the Te Manaleia Bridge was found. The Monolithic carved stone bridge made from an unknown source was mostly under water at the time. The ruins with Hieroglyphic like writings on them were taken in by Institutions to be researched at an unrecorded location around the year 1887.
Most likely the Native Americans who colonized the area previously left the ruins in peace to respect it's grounds. It was passed down by the Native American original settlers to new residents that the creaters of the bridge like ruins would return to the area, the area now known as Denton County. Unfortunately the Native Americans did not go into detail of who the creative culture was or what was their purpose. This site was of particular interest over time because of the constant scale of work done, and for the fact that each time the bridge was rebuilt stories would be shared from the encounters with strange energy.
Archaeologists studied the site in early 1910, but were hurried due to the construction efforts underway. During one of the digs a crew reported that the energy of Mana was some how connected to the area. The energy of the area gave headaches, and brought the women of the dig to their knees one night according to the journals. The men of the crew reported they were given visions of ancient combat with strange weapons not native to the region. An Industrial construction company was also interested in the investment of a newly built bridge, and with the reports of the failed Archaeologist efforts, the construction began, and research was concluded. One of the researchers Iang T. Manukai said
" I'm glad the construction efforts are underway since this place isn't meant to hang around and be poked at. We have the research we need mostly on the ruins. The research however on the Mana energy of the area is best left alone. "
Later the bridge became known as "Goatman's Bridge" [ Official County name "Old Alton Bridge"] where also during that time it was again reconstructed into it's red iron formation.
Small Legends and Myths The Legend tale of the Goat man on Old Alton Bridge was created in and around 1967 and has become something of a lost tale. More than likely the story was created for spooking tourists on their way to recreation. This area of Texas has great diversity and with it, greater economy. The area is also home to the University of North Texas, and Texas Women's University where college life often rules it's urban lively areas.
