Why Muslims are under rated.

[Minimalist]

Oh, dear....where to start.

Let's start with Barry Fell...who is one of your "scholars" that I had actually heard of...albeit for being dismissed as a crackpot.

Let's begin here.

As an adjunct to the Lost Tribes teaching, Barry Fell's books, Saga America, America BC, Bronze Age America are astounding. He's dealing mostly with north America and more specifically with the US, but his research has uncovered mountains of evidence regarding the Indians on this continent. Now, I don't understand why he doesn't go a couple steps farther and identify the migrant Indians as Israelites, unless he didn't want his work to become embroiled in the Lost Tribes controversy and thereby be swept under the rug. I have reason to believe that he is aware of the fact. I don't know.

The following is from the note accompanying a picture of a rock face in New Mexico:

"The Las Lunas Decalogue is an example of early Hebrew script resembling Phoenician writing(cir. 1000 BC) under Greek influence............it consists of nine lines, reading from right to left. It is a summary of the Ten Commandments from Exodus 20:2-17."

Hold that thought. It's important.

Viewed dispassionately, the Los Lunas inscription is a clear, but well constructed forgery (for its day). Despite the claims of high antiquity, there are features of the text (such as the mixing of letter forms between two separate alphabets) that are much more likely to derive from the work of a modern forger than from an ancient Hebrew or Samaritan scribe. The evidence for its origin is poor, but a comparison with the Bat Creek Stone suggests that it was a Mormon forgery. The ‘Mormon Battalion’, which was part of the US Army during the Mexican War, is known to have marched from Santa Fe down the Rio Grande Valley, passing close by, and it is possible that this is the date of the inscription.

Note that the Mormon Battalion went marching by just about 100 years before Frank Hibben called the inscription 100 years old. (In the same article at the top.)

Mormons, you see, assclowns that they are, have this absurd notion that the "ten lost tribes" ( which we now know were not tribes and are certainly not "lost") came to America with their fucking bible horseshit. Mormons are just as about as crazy as scientologists but they certainly had a reason for wanting to prop up their horseshit with a few phony relics.

BTW, for you edification...although I doubt you are still reading at this point... here's the route of march for the Mormon Battalion during the Mexican War. Right through the heart of New Mexico.



And where is Las Lunas? Well, it is a small village near Albuquerque, NM and here, in Albuquerque is a monument to the Mormon Battalion who marched through in 1846....close enough to Frank Hibben's 100 year estimate.
