...if they had the means to explore various parts of Europe and Asia by boat, then they certainly had the means to cross the seas to the Americas.
One such item of interest is a large stone that was found in a dry creek bed in New Mexico. This stone discovered by early explorers contains the entire Ten Commandments written in Ancient Hebrew script. Today, this large stone still lies where it was originally found in the early 1800's on the side of Hidden Mountain near Los Lunas, New Mexico, about thirty-five miles south of Albuquerque.
Scholars who have studied the stone say it pre-dates the arrival of Columbus to America.
How did this large stone with the Ten Commandments written in Ancient Hebrew come to be in North America? No one has an answer.
Another item that shows strong evidence of the possibility of Hebrews in America is noted in a custom celebrated by the Yuchi Indians in Oklahoma.
The Yuchis originally migrated from the Bahamas to Florida and Georgia and then later to the Oklahoma territory.

interesting.
“Scholars who have studied the stone say it pre-dates the arrival of Columbus to America”
How so?
I can see some happy go lucky, educated, educated Spanish explorer types tired of all the Catholicism deciding to leave a prank to confound the church which was the main settlement influence of the area in the time before the 1800’s.
Meant to include that the pranksters were Jewish.
If they find one on Mars, that would be real news.
There is no patina. The lettering is white with no wear. The whole article makes me want to say “eye roll”. I did a search and cannot find conformation on this find (doesn’t mean its not there just couldn’t find it).
I would suspect the Mormons in anything involving Hebrew script and the south west United States.
Oh, I see. I checked most of your links and they refer back to mormon sites. Well that makes sense then that you posted this.
Should have checked the links first.
Paging Art Bell...
I wouldn’t buy this at wholesale.
“Early 1800s?”
This smells of Sidney Rigdon, Mormon extraordinaire. He was trained in Hebrew.
The work of Sidney Rigdon, Mormon.
The work of Sidney Rigdon, Mormon.
My first thought is: I hope this stone is protected from graffiti.
A fraud.
Ping for later
