Looks interesting. I wonder if you could actually post the link again. I didn't see it the first time.

Sounds almost interesting, think you could provide a link?

And I didn’t read your second post, maybe next time use paragraphs.

You have to give us a link!

It would not surprise me that our ancient forefathers ventured much further than we imagine they could. Saying that, finding a 2,600 year old Tabernacle in American is somewhat surprising.

Sorry, but the second post is badly presented (where de paragraphs?) and reads like a cut and paste advert for someone trying to set up a business.

Oops~ Apol.(!); This is the 1st time I've posted here, and must "Reply" to add the site:
www.gdrocks.org

Let me know if there's anything else amiss, s0rry!

I've just attempted to correct my error by posting another thread with the site at the top, and came back to find you've all righted the problem yourselves!
Wow you-all are some great people here!!! Well I suppose now this subject can be dealt with in either thread, that or this'll be deleted(?), but with this one I got to put some other relevant links on -only I think those ought have been elsewhere!

Hi again all, had to rest and eat & 'am back!
No Zeptepi I'm not (unless by association) but I know the guys and Bills family (Tod's single), Bill says they're interested in a new dating of rock technology that is similar to what you've got (Thanks for the link!), but Tod would like to get you out here to scan it anyway because if it gets the attn and restoration backing it deserves then it's what you've got that's ideal!
I hope all you's don't think this is some scam, 'cause this shall break them if it doesn't happen, they're sure this is the 'missing link' for world peace, and actually I think they're right! Keep looking at this site and sharing it and talking about it cause there's no other way to cut through the ignorance so0 long in place...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Mormon forgeries in the American west. Sorry to say you've been taken in by it. You might want to notice that hte "engravings" are very fresh, the rocks are unshaped, and there's nothing else there indicating a Jewish temple - there'd definately be a dumping pit for charred bones of the sacrifices, at last.

Thanks for the info about the HOAX guys. I did suspect this, Hence the Comparative analysis statement I made. I did indeed notice the "freshness" of the inscriptions, trying to put that as reetching for photographic contrast.

Well good luck with your adventure boys.
It is unlikly that you will get much help from ATS in funding or otherwise.
Cheers

I was going to post about the mormon thing as well. In my current quest for spirtiual knowledge I have been researching the Mormons. A very interesting group but they have some really far out beliefs such as mysterious golden tablets, native indians being linked to the lost tribe of israel, and of course the mother ship. Really the only thing I found appealing was having two wives... Wait a second the one I have is plenty, two could be a disaster..... Anyway I recently had the chance to talk to a few Mormon missionaries and it's really funny how they try and take you through their preestablished indoctriantion but they really start to squirm when you bring up things like historical evidence, Plagerism, etc. The fact of the matter is these people are really sweating trying to come up with some concrete evidence that supports Ole Joe smiths visions. Sure you must have faith and ask god for the answers but historically speaking Jesus has been proven to exist but their is no historical evidence of any kind to even remotely Justify "The Book of Mormon". Until now when they find mysterious engravings in the desert. Come on if this was for real this news would be all over the place and would change the entire history of the world.

as a man of faith I find it absurd to think that one needs to forge any type of artifact. That it is why it is called faith. All this does is make a true believer look bad. I do not need false documentation to prove to others that my God exists. My job is simply to show the way to others. No force. No coercion. Just simple explanations to those that inquire. I see dollars behind this not faith. My two cents worth.

There are other types of forgeries out there to support faith -- often in the form of some of those "charming stories" that go around about the great results of faith.

This kind of "forgery to bring others to the faith" actually has been sanctioned for over a thousand years. There are countless manufactured relics or "discovered" relics (there are several skulls which are said to be the head of St. Peter, for instance, and it was said that they chopped down most of the trees in Palestine to make "fragment of the True Cross" souvenirs that were sold to the Crusaders and pilgrims.)

There's a number of these faked decalogues around... some appear to be using Hebrew texts and make many mistakes because the language changed from the time of the Romans to now (one of them, for example, has periods in it. The Hebrews didn't use periods to end their sentences until the 1700's.) There's also "garbage inscriptions" where people try to present "traces of a pre-flood language" ... again, something that only they can (miraculously) read, which has the same sort of structure and grammar as modern English and tries to incorporate letters from a bunch of different alphabets into it.

They are not aware of just how huge the collection of writing-that-dates-before-3000 BC is. That's to our benefit, because it enables us to quickly spot the hoaxes.

That and the obvious newness of the paint/carvings.
