There is evidence now being discovered that shows the Norsemen to have
sailed South, along the Eastern seashore, into the Gulf of Mexico and then
up the Mississippi River. Not only have Viking Battle Axes been found but
more inscriptions to prove their presence.
The Heavener runestone inscription in the Oklahoma State Park on Poteau
Mountain has been definitely judged to be Nordic script of the Viking Age of
not later than 1350 A.D. Viking inscriptions have also been found in
Colorado. No longer can we deny the presence of the Norsemen in America
several hundred years before Columbus.
We have left for last what is perhaps the most striking evidence of
pre-Columbus Europeans in America. In the Southwestern part of the United
States the climate is generally arid or semi-arid and the soil is more
alkaline. As a result of these conditions artifacts, including human
remains, are left intact for a very long time.
There is mounting evidence that Europeans, in significant numbers, colonized
a portion of the Southwestern United States during the period from
approximately 700 A.D. until about 1300 A.D. It is very significant that all
of the colonies in North America, including this one under discussion,
appeared to simply vanish within an approximate 100 year time frame.
We may never know the exact reasons and there could have been several. We
know that the Europeans transmitted diseases that were specific to Europe to
the indigenous natives who were vulnerable to them. Conversely, the natives
gave the Europeans specific diseases to which they were vulnerable, such as
some of the social diseases.
Or, there could have very easily been a universal uprising and this is even
probable. Whatever the reasons were, we must believe that the ventures did
not please God. There had to be things that were done that were seriously
breaking some of His Laws.
About 700 A.D. there appeared in the area of West Texas, New Mexico,
Colorado, Arizona and Nevada, a literal empire apparently made up of a
city-state system. The empire was Christian and they had succeeding kings.
The people came from the British Isles, Gaul (France), Germany, Rome and
apparently North Africa.
Undoubtedly, the North Africans were the Berbers who had already arrived
from Libya and had previously taught the natives to build the pueblo style
structures and to irrigate for farming. Some of the ancient ruins that were
very skillfully built of stone masonry that are dotted over the Southwest
are probably associated with the empire.
Some of these ancient ruins have been rebuilt with later construction over
the top of the original. The modern American Indian knows nothing about the
builders of these ancient cities.
However, they have given a name to these earlier inhabitants. They call them
the Hohokam, which means "Those who have gone" or "The old ones."
After the Spaniards occupied Mexico in the early 1500's, they headed north
to investigate the persistent stories of the fabulously wealthy "Seven
Cities of Cibola."
Of course they never found them because the empire had simply vanished a
couple of hundred years earlier. Even in 1300 A.D. the empire had already
waned in its importance as a kingdom so there wasn't much left.
In New Mexico, south of Albuquerque and west of Los Lunas about 14 miles, is
a huge Basalt (volcanic) boulder. The rock is nestled in a small draw on the
side of a group of hills which overlooks the stream called Rio Puerco. The
front side, protruding from the soil, is very flat and provides a perfect
place for an inscription. On this boulder, inscribed in old Hebrew with a
Greek influence, is the Decalog or The Ten Commandments!
As early as 1850, when New Mexico became a territory, people knew of the
inscription but it was not until a century later when Professor Robert
Pfeiffer of Harvard University, an authority on the Old Testament,
determined it to be The Ten Commandments. The inscription was then
re-authenticated as being The Ten Commandments by Dr. Barry Fell, the
country's foremost Epigraphic scientist.
The most revealing discoveries of this ancient kingdom came from the Tucson,
Arizona area. Along the Santa Cruz River, in the vicinity of Tucson, beneath
six or more feet of undisturbed cliché soil, were found many artifacts that
unquestionably prove that European people lived in the area. Cliché soil is
made up of crusted calcium carbonate mixed with ordinary dirt.
Through many years, water mixes with the combination and turns it into a
very hard, concrete like, soil. After it is once formed, if it is then
removed, the soil never returns to the original configuration. Thus, when
the artifacts were found, it is certain that they are of ancient origin and
not a recent fraud.
The artifacts included lead swords, spears, a patriarchal monstrance or
shrine used in the religious ceremonies, and eight heavy crosses. All of the
artifacts were made of molded lead which was mined in the area.
This is known because some of the molds were also found. Each of the crosses
was actually two thin lead crosses which were riveted together with lead
rivets.
When the two halves were separated, it was found that the inner sides were
protected with wax in order to preserve the inscriptions which were on the
inside parts. It became obvious that the crosses were made for the purpose
of a permanent recording of events that were taking place at the time.
The swords were not to be used for combat. They were made of lead and also
contained inscriptions. They were for ceremonies of some sort. The
inscriptions contained words in Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Following are some
of the translations: On one of the crosses, at the top are the words "In
Memoriam."
On the cross arm at the left is a profile of a head with the words "Britain,
Albion, Jacob."
In the center is another head profile with the words "Romans, Actim,
Theodore." On the right is another head profile with the words "Gaul, Seine,
Israel." On the vertical beam of the lead cross is this inscription.
"Counsels of great cities together with seven hundred soldiers A.D. 800,
Jan. 1."
"We are borne over the sea to Calalus, an unknown land where Toltezus
Silvanus ruled far and wide over a people. Theodore transferred his troops
to the foot of the city Rhoda and more than seven hundred were captured. No
gold is taken away. Theodore, a man of great courage, rules for fourteen
years. Jacob rules for six. With the help of God, nothing has to be feared.
In the name of Israel, OL." |
