Synopsis

A place filled with sky knowledge and earth wisdom that forms a cosmic summit we call Pilot Mountain in modern times!

There is so much more to Pilot Mountain State Park than meets the eye. This 1.6-billion-year-old Registered Natural Landmark has been called a natural curiosity for centuries. In 1823, a University of North Carolina professor visited and described the mountain as looking like a “magnificent temple” in the form of a triangle. In 1944, after two years of botanical research on the mountain, a Duke University professor commented in a journal article on the “almost perfect pyramid” aspect of Pilot Mountain. To this very day geologists are puzzled by Pilot Mountain’s unique rock structure.

Do you see the similarity between the Easter Island Moai statues and the Pilot Mountain stone face? Is that just a coincidence, or maybe your mind is making order out of chaos? This book captures the history, myths, legends, and lore surrounding Pilot Mountain. Learn about amazing features not shared with the public. Become an expert guide on this unique landscape as you travel your intriguing journey into its deep mysteries!

Faces of Pilot Mountain was selected on February 6, 2025 by a committee to be included and cataloged to become part of the history of the State of North Carolina in the Government & Heritage Library in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Faces of Pilot Mountain was selected on May 13, 2025 to be in the Library of Congress collection in Washington, D.C.
