 A compilation of early Observations of those who first encountered            the Native Americans and what they knew of their origins

If there is one thing the earliest of writers of the explorers of this continent suspected, knew and understood, was that of certain Native American tribes including the Aztec, they were at least in part of Hebrew decent as a result of the many similarities in Jewish custom. Keep in mind, there is no longer a point in arguing what the DNA is now showing and confirming, those who have refuted it for so many years out of pride and threat of loosing their good standing with the academic world by going against its atheistic doctrine of Evolution.

Many of the authors of Academia beginning as early as the 1830’s, begin to hack away at the root of their own tree as their writings seem to be more about discrediting the very people who formed their foundation than they do in enlightening you upon truths discovered, they spend more time in their books telling what isn’t true rather than what is trying to discredit the former authors. Where were these critics prior to this time?

If you want me to believe or even consider some thing… I will always seek out the most original source, authors who seem to have had no agenda, simply reporting what they had experienced first hand in many cases, such as James Adair, William Pigeon, Josiah Priest and others, show me the more modern writers who were there to say it didn’t happen? A modern case of a recent author who apparently had no agenda either and didn’t care what the Academic world thought, was Frank C. Hibben, a highly respected man, Anthropologist/Archaeologist and even today by many, but none dared challenge the things he reported until he himself was no longer able to defend himself… I have watched since his passing in 2002, the scum writers arise from the academic world as they slowly create their propaganda to discredit him in his findings, all in an effort to keep you in the dark concerning the truths of this continent and I ask why? The rumors began just after his passing, but have not yet reached full momentum, if you go to Google Search and type his name, you will notice in the very first paragraph at the media controlled wiki, it has begun, “He was also controversial, being suspected of scientific fraud during his studies of Paleo-Indian cultures. And of course you notice there is no footnote offering giving support to this claim of fraud, but I assure you, those who have a false agenda, are in the process of formulating a false foundation for the claim… who suspects it? Where is the accusers? What was Franks motive? What is the accusers motive? Regardless of what the spineless scum come up with, it is a bald faced lie.

Another highly respected man by the name of Cyclone Covey who passed in 2013, I was fortunate enough to speak with him just prior to his passing, what an incredible man. Take notice, at this time, I find no blatant attacks against his work, however there is attacks against what he defended, but you will see and I am curious as to who the first will be in attacking this mans character, his experience and the works he has accomplished with his most controversial being concerning the Tucson Lead Artifacts found in 1924. Now although the academic world had no personal knowledge of the 1^st excavation other than those present, they scampered to discredit the find and even as late as 1994, the academic propaganda machine did the unthinkable,  it is said that “Geologist Confirm” … the caliche was formed in just hours… News Flash! Caliche has always formed in just hours, my question is, in all the archaeologist reports of the past which has used caliche as the evidence proving that some thing was millions of years old by virtue of something being found in it, what are we to make of it now? It would seem someone got caught with their pants down.

Why is it that those men seem to want to control what we believe? Religious philosophers and scholars continuously waste ink and paper trying to tell us what the prophets of old “Actually” meant when in FACT they meant what they said and said what they meant, except in the case of a parable where in it is always identified as such! The sad part is, the very week minded fall for the propaganda machine on a daily basis.

Hebrew Scholar’s of today tell us what the scribe of ancient times really meant and lead you to believe that the scribe of a given work made a mistake? Who would know more about the ancient Hebrew, those who spoke it, read it and wrote it or the so called Hebrew experts of today whom would have you believe them just because they say so?

What was the motivation of the Earliest writers of the past, those who spoke the truth of what they observed FIRST hand and were told by the natives they LIVED with, and heard from their own mouths, are we to believe that some identical agenda was had by the majority of the writers of the near ancient past and that because some one today was indoctrinated by a controlled education system of today, that their word is suddenly gospel over and above what those who experienced it said?

What does it matter if Hebrew people came to America in times past? What does it matter of Roman Jewish Colonies came here as early as 100 BC? What does it matter if the Bible is true? Book of Mormon or some religion? What if the Land of Ophir is here? What if this is the place of Avalon where King Author was buried?... WHAT IF? If it is truth, let it come forth!

If you choose to fall for this propaganda machine which is alive and well today, have at it, I would gladly step out of your way.

Here are just a few of the many things written of the past by those who were most qualified to say so of the day, but those who came after, over one hundred years after and even today have an opinion, but have no foundation for their ridiculous claims against the earliest of historians…

“The clergyman, in preparation for another world, went to prayer, and, being a Welshman, prayed in the Welsh language. One or more of the Indians was much surprised to hear him pray in their own language. Upon this they spoke to him, and finding he could understand them, got the sentence of death reversed, and his life was saved. They took him with them into their country, where he found a tribe whose native language was Welsh, though the dialect was a little different from his own, which he soon came to understand. They showed him a book, which he found to be the Bible, but which they could not read ; and on his reading and explaining it, their regard for him was much heightened." After some time, the minister proposed to these people to return to his own country, and promised to return again to them with others of his friends, who would instruct them in Christianity ; but not long after his return to England, he died, which put an end to his design.

It is very natural to inquire how these Indians, though descended from the Welsh, came by books ; for it is well known that the period at which the Welsh must have come to America, was long before printing was discovered, or that any writings assumed the form of books as we now have them. It should be here noted that Mr. Bealty travelled in the autumn of 1766. Major Roger's, in his "Concise Account of North America," published in1765, notices the White Indians ; but the geography of their country he leaves any where on the west of the Mississippi ; probably never having visited them himself, although he tells us he had travelled very extensively in the interior. "This fruitful country," he says, "is at present inhabited by a nation of Indians, called by the others the White Indians, on account of their complexion; they being much the fairest Indians on the continent. They have, however, Indian eyes, and a certain guilty Jewish cast with them.” (THE ABORIGINAL RACES OF NORTH AMERICA, Drake 1880)

“Adair mentions ornaments worn by the " high priests " of the Southern tribes of Indians, which may have been identical with those here described. He says : " The American archi-magus wears a breastplate, made of a white conch shell, with two holes bored in the middle of it, through which he puts the ends of an otter-skin strap, and fastens a buck-horn button to the outside of each." {Adair's American Indians, p. 84.) Our author does not fail to identify this badge with the sacred urim and thummim of the Jewish high priest, and draws a notable argument therefrom in support of his hypothesis of the Jewish origin of the American Indians. A similar ornament is mentioned by Beverly, as one of the principal decorations of the Indians of Virginia. He describes it as " a tablet of fine shell, smooth as polished marble." (History of Virginia. p. 141.)”

(Ancient Monuments Squire/Davis 1847) Footnotes

For their original, I am ready to believe them of the Jewish race ; I mean of the stock of the ten tribes ; and that for the following reasons : First, they were to go to a land not planted or known, which to be sure Asia and Africa were, if not Europe, and he that intended that extraordinary judgment upon them, might make the passage not uneasy to them, as it is not impossible in itself, from the eastermost parts of Asia to the western most parts of America. In the next place I find them of like countenance, and their children of so lively resemblance, that a man would think himself in Duke's-place or Bury-street in London, when he seeth them. But this not all ; they agree in rites, they reckon by moons, they offer their first fruits, they have a kind of feast of tabernacles, they are said to lay their altar upon twelve stones, their mourning a year, customs of women, with many things that do not now occur. (Sketches of the North American Indian, Heckewelder 1824)

The horns on these head-dresses are but loosely attached at the bottom, so that they easily fall back or forward, according as the head is inclined forward or backward ; and by an ingenious motion of the head, which is so slight as to be almost imperceptible—they are made to balance to and fro> and sometimes, one backward and the other forward like a horse's ears, giving a vast deal of expression and force of character, to the appearance of the chief who is wearing them. This, reader, is a remarkable instance (like hundreds of others), for its striking similarity to Jewish customs, to the kerns (or keren, in Hebrew), the horns worn by the Abysinian chiefs and Hebrews, as a symbol of power and command ; worn at great parades and Celebrations of victories. (North American Indians Catlin 1841)

Like the Jews, the Indians offer their first-fruits, they keep their new moons, and the feast of expiations at the end of September or in the beginning of October ; they divide the year into four seasons, corresponding with the Jewish festivals. According to Charlevoix and Long, the brother of a deceased husband receives his widow into his house as a guest, and after a suitable time considers her as a legitimate consort. In some parts of North America circumcision is practiced, and of this Acosta and Lopez de Gomara make mention. There is also much analogy between the Hebrews and Indians in that which concerns various rites and customs ; such as the ceremonies of purification, the use of the bath, the ointment of bear's grease, fasting, and the manner of prayer. The Indians likewise abstain from the blood of animals, as also from fish without scales ; they consider divers quadrupeds unclean, as also certain birds and reptiles, and they are accustomed to offer as an holocaust the firstlings of the flock. Acosta and Emanuel de Moraez relate that various nations allow matrimony with those only of their own tribe or lineage, this being, in their view, a striking characteristic, very remarkable, and of much weight. But that which most tends to fortify the opinion as to the Hebrew origin of the American tribes, is a species of ark, seemingly like that of the Old Testament; this the Indians take with them to war ; it is never permitted to touch the ground, but. rests upon stones or pieces of wood, it being deemed sacrilegious and unlawful to open it or look into it. The American priests scrupulously guard their sanctuary, and the High Priest carries on his breast a white shell adorned with precious stones, which recalls the Urim of the Jewish High Priest: of whom we are also reminded by a band of white plumes on his forehead. (Peruvian Antiquities, Rivero, Tschudi 1855)

The Opposition

For the serious researcher you will find the majority of those early explorers, many with the credentials to make the statements they did, who knew the Native American in general had Jewish roots and traits of the Hebrew all seem to utter the same opinions of the Native American Origins, until about 1830 to 1840 the opinions began to change and the opposition who once held loyal to their piers, were now discrediting them, but what I have found in a majority of those who are commissioned by their indoctrination, um, I mean education controlled by Smithsonian, to now change the belief of what those who experienced it knew…

Those who now offer their opposition I have yet to find a one of them who gives a solid argument as to why their once piers are now wrong.

Although John  D Baldwin motives were slightly different, he is a classic example of those who came after Smithsonian’s course and direction was changed, who discredits those who were there and lived it, but gives nothing in support as to why, other than a poorly written explanation with his evidence amounting to nothing more than taking his word for it, absurd, ridiculous etc… is not evidence.

This example below is an excellent example of what became the norm, and exists to this day, It remind me of theologians of today, explaining and trying to convince us of what the prophets of old REALLY meant other than what they so plainly wrote….

From John D Baldwin, a Congregationalist, and anthropological writer, having been indoctrinated at Yale, it is clear his agenda, I wonder if he really knew how transparent he really was, and those today who continue the practice to discredit those who were ACTUALLY there.

“One of these theories is (or was), that the original civilizers of Mexico and Central America were the "lost ten tribes of Israel." This extremely remarkable explanation of the mystery was devised very early, and it has been persistently defended by some persons, although nothing can be more unwarranted or more absurd. It was put forward by the Spanish monks who first established missions in the country, a class of men to whom the world is indebted for a great variety of amazing contributions to the literature of hagiology; and the same men, in a way equally conclusive, explained the sculptured crosses found in the old ruins by assuming that the Gospel was preached in America by St. Thomas. Lord Kingsborough adopted their views, and gave up nearly the whole of one of his immense volumes on Mexican Antiquities to an elaborate digest of all that had been written to explain and support these absurdities. Others have maintained this Israelitish hypothesis without deeming it necessary to estimate in a reasonable way what was possible to those Israelites. According to this truly monkish theory, the " lost ten tribes of Israel" left Palestine, Syria, Assyria, or whatever country they dwelt in at the time, traversed the whole extent of Asia, crossed over into America at Behring's Strait, went down the Pacific coast, and established a wonderful civilization in that part of the continent where the great ruins are found. The kingdom of the ten tribes was destroyed not long previous to the year700 B.C. How many years are allowed, after their escape from captivity, for this unparalleled journey, has not yet been ascertained. But, if such a journey had been possible, it would have resulted in utter barbarism rather than any notable phase of civilized life. Even the Jews who remained faithful to Moses, although important on account of their scriptures and their religion, were not remarkable for civilization. They were incapable of building their own Temple without aid from the Tyrians. Moreover, there is not any where either a fact, a suggestion, or a circumstance of any kind to show that the " lost ten tribes" ever left the countries of Southwestern Asia, where they dwelt after the destruction of their kingdom. They were " lost" to the Jewish nation because they rebelled, apostatized, and, after their subjugation by the Assyrians in 721 B.C., were to a great extent absorbed by other peoples in that part of Asia Some of them probably were still in Palestine when Christ appeared. This wild notion, called a theory scarcely deserves so much attention. It is a lunatic fancy, possible only to men of a certain class, which in our time does not multiply. (Ancient American Baldwin 1871

I wonder where the Spanish priests got those silly ideas....
Even though the DNA is confirming what the early explorers knew, many of the academic world are still kicking at the pricks…

Among many of the tribes and the Aztec and Mayan, there is a tradition of two primary migrations to the Americas, the first was from the west by sea around 2400 BC, the second was from the east also by boat and is said to have occurred around 600 BC. Many others had come in the interim. The first migration is associated according to the written histories and oral traditions of various tribes, having come from a great tower where the creator had confused their tongue. The second migration is associated with the creator opening a path through a sea where in there leader led them through. Of then times the details are intermixed and directions of east or west reversed.

The following is other accounts noted by the many early explorers/authors, and in these times there was no opposition as there was beginning at about the same time as the reorganization of Smithsonian by Squire and Davis. The observations they wrote about, are now being confirmed with DNA Technology.

The first and most striking fact amongst the North American Indians that refers us to the Jews, is that of their worshipping in all parts, the Great Spirit, or Jehovah, as the Hebrews were ordered to do by Divine precept, instead of a plurality of gods, as ancient pagans and heathens did and their idols of their own formation. The North American Indians, are no where idolaters they appeal at once to the Great Spirit, and know of no mediator, either personal or symbolical. The Indian tribes are everywhere divided into bands, with chiefs, symbols, badges, &c., and many of their modes of worship I have found exceedingly like those of the Mosaic institution. The Jews had their sanctum sanctorums, and so may it be said the Indians have, in their council or medicine-houses, which are always held as sacred places. As the Jews had, they have their high-priests and their prophets. Amongst the Indians as amongst the ancient Hebrews, the women are not allowed to worship with the men and in all cases also, they eat separately.

The Indians everywhere, like the Jews, believe that they are the favorite people of the Great Spirit, and they are certainly, like those ancient people, persecuted, as every man's hand seems raised against them and they, like the Jews, destined to be dispersed over the world, and seemingly scourged by the Almighty, and despised of man. In their marriages, the Indians, as did the ancient Jews, uniformly buy their wives by giving presents-and in many tribes, very closely resemble them in other forms and ceremonies of their marriages, In their preparations for war, and in peace-making, they are strikingly similar. In their treatment of the sick, burial of the dead and mourning; they are also similar, In their bathing and ablutions, at all seasons of the year, as a part of their religious observances having separate places for men and women to perform these immersions -they resemble again. And the custom amongst the women, of absenting themselves during the lunar influences, is exactly consonant to the Mosaic law……

Amongst the list of their customs however, we meet a number which had their origin it would seem, in the Jewish Ceremonial code, and which are so very peculiar in their forms, that it would seem quite improbable, and almost impossible, that two different people should ever have hit upon them alike, without some knowledge of each other.(North American Indians Vol 2 Catlin 1841)

...A very remarkable representation of the ten plagues which God sent on Egypt, in order to punish Pharaoh's hardness of heart, occurs in the eleventh and twelfth pages of the Borgian MS. Moses is there painted holding up in his left hand his rod which became a serpent, and with a furious gesture calling down plagues on the Egyptians. These plagues were frogs, locusts, lice, flies, &c., all which seem to be represented in the pages referred to; but the last and most dreadful were the thick darkness which overspread Egypt for three days, and the death of the first-born of all the Egyptians; the former of which is represented by the figure of an eclipse of the sun, and the latter by Mictlanteotle, (or the god of the dead,) descending in the form of a skeleton or a cadaverous body, from the rod of Moses. The curious symbol of one serpent swallowing up another, occurs likewise in the nineteenth page of the same MS. It is not extraordinary that the Mexicans, who were acquainted with one portion of Exodus, -- that relating to the migration of the children of Israel from Egypt, -- should also have not been ignorant of another.... (Antiquities of Mexico, Kingsborough 1831)

A celebrated French traveler, M. de la Borde (Caribbean. Paris 1785) says, Many of the Caribs told me that their early ancestors were a great and powerful people, whom I cannot help but identifying with the Jews. Their laws relating to marriage were the same, and they were forbidden to eat the flesh of animals like the peccary or South American swine. (Lee pp. 126-127)

The following is a couple of many of the of Pachacutec Inca Yupanqui Hymm Prayers composed for the Situa ceremony around 1440-1450 It would seem clear they had a knowledge of the same God and Christ of the Hebrew.

Lord Wiracocha, Who says Let there be day, let there be night! Who says, Let there be dawn, let it grow light Who makes the Sun, your son, move happy and blessed each day, so that man whom you have made has light: My Wiracocha, shine on your Inca people, illuminate your servants, whom you have shepherded, let them live happy and blessed preserve them in peace, free of sickness, free of pain.

Oh Creator, root of all, Wiracocha, end of all, Lord in shining garments who infuses life and sets all things in order, saying, "Let there be man! Let there be woman!" Molder, maker, to all things you have given life: watch over them, keep them living prosperously, fortunately in safety and peace. Where are you? Outside? Inside? Above this world in the clouds? Below this world in the shades? Hear me! Answer me! Take my words to your heart! For ages without end let me live, grasp me in your arms, hold me in your hands, receive this offering wherever you are, my Lord, my Wiracocha.          

Why must we fight the truth? How is it men born of nature, willfully use their intelligence to come to the conclusion that the nature they were born of, is somehow unintelligent? This I will never understand…

John 10:16

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Strange Marble Tablet found in Cottonwood Canyon 106 Years ago and Then Just Disappears

  Originally posted in 2014, again in 2018

The following article was written in 2010 and included in the book Nephite North.

It is one of the articles of the past I have received the highest views and requests for, therefore I have decided to post it again, (Edited from the original)

The Cottonwood Marble Tablet

In August of 1916 an article appeared in the Salt Lake Telegram. Many will never understand how important this discovery was/is and the things it sheds light on... and seemingly validating the fallacies of things taught in our education system as fact and yet could not be further from the truth. A sharp eye and a sharp mind, may pick up some of these things.... The following article and more can also be found in the Book Nephite North featured at the end.

Mysterious Tablet Is Uncovered in Cottonwood

Archaeologist Explore Workings of Ancients
Salt Lake Telegrahm August 1916

One day last month, two miners, while driving a drift in one of the canyons of Upper Cottonwood, broke into a small cave of peculiar appearance. Upon closer examination the supposed cave was soon to open into a caved passageway, and after three days work spent In removing debris a complex series of subterranean passages and chambers was exposed. From the number and length of the workings explored to date, they must have been mined upon an extensive scale and throughout a considerable period of time. It will take some time to thoroughly explore these labyrinthic pass-ages, and It Is expected that they will disclose archaeological data of great value.

 

It was at first thought that one of the famed lost Spanish mines had been rediscovered, but later explorations have failed to show any trace of Spanish relics. Instead a large number of Indian tools and Implements of flint and stone, as well as of beaten iron and copper, have, been found, In addition to a remarkable collection of decorated potteries,

 

The walls of many of the tunnels and chambers are decorated with sculp-tured reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions, but by far the most Interesting relic found so far is a smooth discolored marble tablet which stood at the entrance of one of the larger chambers. It is completely covered with remarkable sculptured reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions, and is reproduced in the accompanying plate. The site of this discovery is, for the present, being jealousy guarded, and it undoubtedly marks one of the most important archaeological discoveries of recent years. The discovery is all the more remarkable in that heretofore no hieroglyphic inscriptions have ever been found north of Mexico.

NOTE: the previous BOLD statement is not true, as Lenape, Sioux, and Ojibwa hieroglyphs were well known at that time, but being shunned with the academics claiming they were not authentic, this would be like someone telling you that the written language you grew up with is not authentic.

Everything points to the great antiquity of these workings-and their contents. The Inscriptions are uncolored and appear to have been incised and picked into the receiving stone by quartz and flint implements, some of which have been preserved. A noteworthy feature of the marble tablet is the combination of pictographs and alphabetic writing. As pictographs are generally conceded to have preceded and to have originated the graphic systems, this tablet would appear to date from a period of transition from the pictographic to the hieroglyphic art. As noted above, none of the records ever found north of Mexico have contained hieroglyphics. This tablet, therefore, may chronicle an amalgamation of inscriptive expression between North American and Mexican tribes; or it may record the progress of civilization of an American tribe, probably the Utes, although It is possible that other Tribes may have come from great distances to obtain the highly prized red metal.

An interesting mineralogical feature to be noted is that throughout, these ancient workings, which are at no great distance below the surface, native copper abounds, in some places being scattered through the vein rock in small fragments, in others occurring as chunks of metallic copper, weighing from a pound or two up to eighty or one hundred pounds. Ordinarily, such a discovery of copper would create considerable excitement, but the 'wall writings and relics are of such absorbing Interest that the copper has been, for a time, relegated to the background. It is puzzling how these Indians, with their primitive tools, were able to break up and extract the exceedingly tough chunks of copper. A number of copper implements and ornaments, hammered and incised, have been gathered, as well as diggers, scrapers, hoes, arrow heads and pounding stones.

 

Various receptacles for food and drink, as well as for earth and ore, were uncovered, they being all made of pottery and decorated with geometric figures, or with picturegraphs or hieroglyphics. This pottery is now being carefully studied, as it is ornamented with symbols and characters which may aid in the deciphering of the stone records. The light gray or black coloring of all the pottery as well as Its crude form, would tend to Indicate its very early Origin. In fact, everything connected with the find evidences great antiquity, and the mine apparently was worked at least many centuries before the appearance of the Spaniards In this region. So far, no key to the decipherment is known, but the various Inscriptions are being carefully scrutinized and compared, in the hopes that one may be detected. In this search collaboration is invited, and should this picture reach the eye of anyone familiar with Indian symbols and records, the investigators would be pleased to have their opinions and suggestions regarding its translation.

 

It has long been known that Utah is a veritable treasure house of archaeo-logical records, but it is claimed by scientists who have examined this stone, that it is the most important archaeological find ever chronicled in Utah's history. Owing to the Intense Interest manifested in these discoveries, it was thought best to keep their location secret, at least until such time as they could be thoroughly explored and proper precautions taken to adequately protect them.

It is hoped to have further news of interest within the next day or two, as the explorations are being pursued with great avidity.

This is when I finally realized that "carefully studied"  means swept away and dusted under the rug by Smithsonian representatives.

After the publishing date of the above article, for the next 3 days a news article was published pertaining to the events, many other artifacts were found. There were tools, ceramics and most interestingly a marble and a Copper Tablet found as well. After the miners supposedly accidentally collapsed the tunnel with dynamite, nothing more was ever said about the discovery and any recovered artifacts have just disappeared.

The following exhibits the Marble tablet with the best photo available thanks to my friend Ryan Nelson who went to the University of Utah in 2010 and took the photos from the original Newspapers. It is unknown at this time where the actual tablets are but they are suspected of being in the possession of the University of Utah.

The Marble Tablet

I find several things that are very interesting to me concerning this find. First, it would seem that there wasn’t a campaign to render the find as a hoax as it seems so many finds in recent years are. Here we have only a few artifacts recovered (To our knowledge), yet it would seem that no effort was made to render it as a hoax, and yet the Michigan Collection of nearly 30,000 artifacts was. Why would the Michigan artifacts, after being designated as a hoax, be purchased or obtained by Milton Hunter?  and why would they later be donated to the LDS Church and than after many years donated to a museum back east after being written off as a hoax? The Cottonwood tablets however just disappeared, Why? Because they could... it is much easier to make a few artifacts disappear that 30,000 of them.

Secondly, I find it interesting that an ancient Copper Tablet or plate was found. This would infer that these people who were often portrayed as ancient backwards uncivilized inhabitants were skilled in the arts of metals.

Third, I feel that the subject of the panels found are directly related to the surrounding area of where they were found, these tablets were found at the very source headwaters of a major contributor of the creation of Lake Bonneville at the headlands and ridges above Little Cottonwood and Big Cottonwood Canyons. I hardly think the events described on them pertain to some unknown location far away.

Fourth, The subject of the story that it tells and that this story came to me from my friend Darrel Sprecher who rediscovered it searching old newspapers in 2010 and at the very moment as I was writing a the chapter concerning Lake Bonneville and the Waters of Ripliancum, in the book Nephite North.

The hieroglyphs found on this tablet are very much like Native American glyphs but they are more like the glyphs of the Ojibwa, Sioux and Lenape. Keep in mind that a related tribe of the Lenape migrated to the east from the west in 700 AD. Although their writing system, the Wallum Olam, is similar, it is very different, but it shares the same symbol base system. Although the migration stories of the Ojibwa don’t match their coming from the west, the evidence does. I have yet to hear or read the actual Ojibwa story. All that exists on the internet it seems are reports from those who are telling you what the Ojibwa really meant, rather than actually telling the story.

The story on the Marble Tablet has no rule as to how it is read such as read from left to right or right to left, in rows or columns. It is meant to be read as a whole. Start where you like because as long as you know the subject, you will receive the same story regardless of where you start to read it. Also the placement of the glyphs in relation to each other is another rule you would need to know: There are however groupings of glyphs meant to be read together. Even still, they all have to do with the main topic or subject.

The subject of the Tablet is a cataclysmic event , flooding, quaking, and great storms, a Destruction of cities and geography yet a creation of a great lake. Many would because of superficial viewing and with the lack of knowledge pertaining to symbol base meaning of the Native American Petroglyphs, see Tents, or even Volcanoes. However, this is not the case as the symbol for dwelling is absent as also the symbols for volcanoes or Lava Tube. If there is one thing I have learned regarding the Native Glyphs in the last 30 years of studying them, it is that the very people who should know about the glyph system, are those who do not.

Although there are many things spoken of on this panel; I will give only a portion of it and leave the finer details out for a few reasons. Either I don’t have the answer, or it is something I choose not to reveal. Whoever inscribed this tablet, either witnessed the event, or the story was handed down with great detail. The story goes something like this;

One day, a great storm came from the North, much rain and much unusual lightning high in the clouds, much wind, the earth quaked much, mountains went up and mountains went down, some mountains divided and much water emerging from their tops like fountains, the hidden waters came up, water was everywhere around all the mountains. The people of one mountain fled to the top to escape the waters. The people of another mountain fled to the top but were killed when they fell. Others watched from the tops of mountains, their cities were at the base of the mountains. The cities were consumed by the rising waters, a great lake was formed, we watched as the winds carried some people away, and the waves of the waters swept others away. The waters rose above the hills and our burial grounds. The turtles are no more. Turtle Island is no more. The people wept. The Sun took several crooked paths and did not come up for two or more days and when it came up it came up in a different place and set in a different place. There was much crying by all the people. The waters continued to rise for several moons. Our cities are gone.

The story told above is certainly not conclusive in that I have had little time to study the tablet, there is much more to it in details and I may be a little off in some areas due to my lack of study. Whatever the case, I don’t think there are many who would argue that an event of destruction is taking place on this tablet. I have for a long time believed that the contents of 3 Nephi 9:7 are pertaining to the now Salt Lake, Ogden and/or Provo Valley’s.

3 Nephi 9:7

 7 Yea, and the city of Onihah and the inhabitants thereof, and the city of Mocum and the inhabitants thereof, and the city of Jerusalem and the inhabitants thereof; and waters have I caused to come up in the stead thereof, to hide their wickedness and abominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints shall not come up any more unto me against them.

Many cannot conceive the possibility of mountain tops opening and rivers from the unknown flowing down the mountains, it is easier for them to blame the strange formations found in the tops of the Wasatch Mountains and the Uintas and many other places upon a so called “Ice Age”

I would have no doubt that this tablet speaks of the event found in 3 Nephi 8:12-23 and Helaman 14:21-27 in the land Northward.

Isaiah 41:18  “ I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.”

At the time the people were so ready to believe any explanation, and within days of the discovery a man by the name Herbert S Auerbach offered his translation, it was clear to me the man had no understanding of what he was looking at... even in the slightest, His story about his "Salt Princess, No Ni Shee" is what the people bought and fortunately barely remains to this day and yet it seems no one understands where this so called legend even came from. Who was this Herbet S Auerbach? A manager of the Golden Chest Mining company in Coeur D' Alene Idaho, and a business man, son of Samuel, the originator of the department stores, Auerbachs.

There is a very good Indian legend of the Wasu tribe who lived near the Comstock Mountain range that explains what happened from their point of view...  and gives evidence of this event. Now some give very little credibility to Indian Legend, but when the evidence matches the legend you might want to sit down, shut up pay and attention. The Legend is as follows as told by an Indian and recorded by (Mrs. M. M. Garwood, Progressive West Magazine, reprinted in Deseret Semi-Weekly News, Febuary 5, 1909.)

"Long time, heap long time. Maybe one hundred years, injun no sabe, white man sabe. My grandfather's father, he heap old man. Maybe two, three hundred years, me dunno, Carson Valley, Wasu Valley, Truckee Valley, Long Valley, Pilamid Lake, Lublock, eblywhere all water, plenty pish, plenty duck. Big pish too, now no see him no more, all go away, no come back.

"Wasu Injun, he lib big mountains (pointing to the Comstock and Pyramid range). Some time Wasu Indian take `em boat go see Piutee, maybe Piutee he take `em boat go see Wasu Indian, Yash he good friend, all time."

Pointing to the Sierra to the west of Washoe Valley, the old Indian continued:

"Big mountain all time fire, plenty `boom, `boom, heap smoke, injun heap flaid! Byme bye, one day, mountain heap smoke, heap noise, glound too much shake, injun heap flaid, pall down, plenty cly. He sun ebly day come up (pointing to the northeast) he go down (pointing to the southwest). One day sun no come up, Injun no sabe, mountain heap smoke, glound plenty shake, wind blow, water heap mad. Maybe two, tlee day sun he no come, injun no eat, no sleep, all time cly, cly, yash, heap flaid. Byme bye water make plenty noise, go plenty fast like Tlukee Liver: water go down, down, mountain come up, come up, plenty mud, plenty pish die, byme bye sun come back over this mountain (pointing to the southeast) he go down ober there (pointing to the northwest). Yash, whiteman sabe, injun no sabe,

"Maybe two, tlee week, mud he dly up, Piutee, Wasu Injun walk, no more boat. All water he go; maybe little water Pilamid Lake, Honey Lake, Wasu Lake, too much mountain, he come purty quick. Yash, injun no sabe water, big pish no come back. No see him no more."

How I would have loved to have met this Indian, whiteman NO sabe, injun sabe...

Now assuming this tale holds some truths, it likely means that the Indian is referring to the time of the crucifixion wherein there were three days of darkness and that it would appear there was a change in North by the description given of where the sun rose and set. Some have a hard time orienting themselves based on this description, so simply raise your right hand and point to where he says the sun rose,(N/E) then raise your left hand and point to where he says it set,(S/W) now look straight forward and that was North. If you did it correctly, looking perpendicular to your arms, you should be looking at approximately 311 degrees which is the direction of BC North from Washoe Valley Nevada. 

So many things discovered over the past have gone unreported and kept silent, and for obvious reasons, others wisped away in an effort to hide the truth, It is no wonder that so many people seem to have no belief and no faith... I was reminded recently of one of these many recent undisclosed discoveries, among other things I wish I could not only tell, but provide pictures... but a 9 foot red haired large man who has with him a sword so large, (a full 5 foot from tip to hilt,) the finder being by todays standard as a large, could not pick the sword up and wield it with one hand. The finder left everything as he found it.

Where did these Cottonwood artifacts go and why did they disappear? Why is it those who pull the strings of the academics are so afraid of truth?

Odd Crystals, Roman Coins and Ornate Sword found in the Utah Mountains

 

Several years ago a friend of mine had heard of Spanish artifacts having been found up in one of the many canyons of the Wasatch Front. He and a friend decided to go up in the canyon and do some siphon dredging. “We had a hell of a hole going on” he said, “about 6 feet in diameter and near 8 feet deep”... All of the dirt and small rocks cast off to the side, he decided to run his detector over it and got several hits, he gathered up a bunch of these thought to be flat sinkers, he put them in his pocket and after a not so successful day packed up and went home...

The next morning he remembered the lead sinkers in his pocket and dug them out a spread them on the table. After little cleaning he realized these were not sinkers, they were widow mites, old Roman coins. He called his buddy and told him we need to go back up there... Armed with their metal detectors they made their way back up the mountain and just above where they were dredging. He told me there was a nice flat spot there where he imagined and told his buddy would have been perfect for an old Spanish camp site. Having both agreed they begin to detect the flat spot area.

Not long after starting to detect, his buddy got a good hit. Both gathered around the spot and begin digging away in what was said to be pretty hard ground. About 6 inches down they exposed what appeared to be the hilt of an old sword, if the whole sword was there, the blade went straight down. A little more digging and it was confirmed not only an old sword, but quite ornate and it was definitely still attached to a blade which refused to move. Just past the hilt the digging got more difficult, he described it as caliche. Trying to dig down deep enough to free the blade was difficult but as they dug down deeper they began to free up many old Roman coins, it was estimated to be about 400.

Nearing where the end of the blade should be, the ground finally let go of the sword. Curiosity caused them to dig just a bit further when they began to pull up some old pieces of burlap, possibly what was left of the old bag which originally carried the coins. In the last effort to pull up what was a far size piece of the burlap and seeming;y wrapped around... were 3 beautiful large presumed quartz crystals. What the hell? They thought, what are these doing here and what are they for? These questions are my motivation in writing this article in an effort to find an answer. The small one seems to have a darker tinted look to it and the two cylindrical 6 sided shape ones have been intentionally beveled on the bottom side as if to fit into a designated stand of sort. My friend told me, “I swear you can believe it or not, but one night I had them sitting on my mantel, we turned out the lights and went to bed,“ he said he woke not long after having fallen asleep for the night and noticed through their open bedroom door, a light source coming from the living room. Curious of course as no light should have been left on, he went to find the two nicer crystals just as he had left them and touching each other, and they were glowing! He said it lasted for hours before dimming... He said he has tried many things several times since to make it happen again but to no avail.

Why were these strange crystals at the bottom of the 4 foot hole under a few hundred Roman coins and a sword shoved down thought the middle of it all as if an attempt to kill it, LOL, Did the Crystals glow for the man who buried them as well and it scared the bejesus out of him? Where did the suspect Spaniard with an ornate likely officers sword, get these crystals and why did he have them? Did he find them somewhere and was just as confused as I am?
