Archeological Anomalies in the Americas Old World Artifacts in Prehistoric America Experts, based on prevailing evidence have set out a neat orderly timeline of what they hypothesize of Human History. They are the "experts" they are the Archeologists, the anthropologists, the established experts in their given realms. They are the masters of their domain who wallow in the laurels bestowed upon them by their "esteemed Colleagues" . The very nature of attaining the status of "expert" is a tedious and life long trek through the muck and mire of Academia. Needless to say that when artifacts appear that threaten the experts thesis they are not always welcomed, and frequently swept under the carpet.

Anomalous Artifacts In the past when anomalous evidence has appeared which challenges an accepted standard Academic norm, the knee jerk reaction of establishment experts has been to either ignore or dismiss it off hand, or to attempt to debunk it - sometimes successfully. The same can be said of both ends of the intellectual spectrum. Pseudo--scientific researchers will sometimes accept the most meager evidence as proof for debating the worthiness of their pet thesis. Even though many anomalous artifacts are easily dismissed and debunked there are others that defy any rational explanation that would fit within the narrow confines of accepted norms. Science tells us that the America's were populated in pre History by Asians traversing the land bridge that once crossed the straights between Russia and Alaska , the Bering Straights. This migration was primarily of people of Mongol stock, who became the Amerindians we are familiar with. However, there is a trove of evidence that other pre-Columbian emigrations and visitations to the Americas occurred at many points in time reaching deep in the murky backwaters of antiquity. Africans , Vikings, Semites and Egyptians, Irish, Welsh and Gaelics etc ...

The Bat Creek Stone , excavated in 1889 from a
burial mound in Eastern Tennessee, on the shore of Lake Telico
at the mouth of Bat Creek about 40 miles south of Knoxville by
the Smithsonian's Mound Survey project.
|
| The stone was initially declared
to be letters of the Cherokee alphabet. However in the 1960s it was noticed that the inscription, when inverted appeared to be of ancient Semitic origin. Cherokee linguistic scholar Willard Walker stated that
the Bat Creek Stone represents a series of poorly executed Cherokee
syllables which represents a simile of "Metacomet, Great Sachem"

The Ohio Decalogue , allegedly an
ancient Hebrew artifact of pre-Columbian America, it was found in
Newark, Ohio in 1860 . This amazing artifact has had a long and
infamous history, particularly among professional anthropologists and
archaeologists. It was roundly rejected at the time, as authentic, by
American experts who had never been trained in old world cultures. This
is still true of virtually all material with old world connections found
in America even to this day. That great pile of rocks stood 45 feet high and 500 feet in circumference. In 1860 it had recently been leveled for dam building material - more than 10,000 wagon loads of stone had been carried away from the site. Under what had obviously been a huge , ancient grave marker were found some grave goods, a palette for a long-ago-decayed body, and a small stone artifact nestled within its own stone coffin. The artifact had the Ten Commandments carved in so called "modern Hebrew," a style in use for more that two thousand years. ( it can only be referred to as "relatively modern" ). |
Cyrus Gordon
The Metcalf Stone
In the late 1960s a man named Manfred Metcalf found a stone in Georgia that bears an inscription which is very similar to ancient writing from the island of Crete in The Aegean Sea. The stone eventually found itself in the hands of Cyrus Gordon who stated
"After studying the inscription, it was apparent to me that the affinities of the script were with the Aegean syllabary, whose two best known forms are Minoan Linear A, and Mycenaean Linear B. ...We therefore have American inscriptional contacts with the Aegean of the Bronze Age, near the south, west and north shores of the Gulf of Mexico. This can hardly be accidental; ancient Aegean writing near three different sectors of the Gulf reflects Bronze Age transatlantic communication between the Mediterranean and the New World around the middle of the second millennium B.C."
Others, myself included are skeptical . "There are several things worth noting. The ‘text’ has only eight symbols, which is hardly enough to be confident about ascribing it to any particular writing system, ... the two scholars who passed opinions on it were Semiticists, whose expertise is not in the Aegean script they claim to detect on the stone " Bad Archaeology
Los Lunas Decalogue
Early settlers in the Los Lunas region of New Mexico, discovered a stone in a dry creek bed written in ancient Hebrew script. The Los Lunas Inscription is a version of the Ten Commandments, carved on the flat face of a boulder about 35 miles south of Albuquerque. It is written in an Old Hebrew alphabet, with Greek letters mixed in. It has been called Ten Commandments Rock, The Los Lunas Decalogue Stone, as well as the Mystery Stone.
The Los Lunas Decalogue, if it is authentic may be relevant to The City of Terra Calalus, whose inhabitants would have used the script found in Los Lunas {See Romans in Ancient America}

in Ancient America
A 16th
Century Scholar Marineo Siculo first claimed that the Americas
were discovered not by Columbus and the Spaniards, but rather by
Ancient Romans. He cites the discovery of a Roman coin bearing
the image of Augustus in a Gold mine in Darien Panama.

Old World coins in America (Reprint / Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon
Studies) Roman coins were discovered at the bottom of an Indian mound near Round Rock Texas. The mound was dated at approximately 800 AD. It has been suggested , and it is conceivable that the coins were dropped at a later date and carried underground by rodents.

Rune Stones
Runes are characters of related ancient Northern European alphabets . They were used primarily in Scandinavia, and the British Isles. The Scandinavian version is known as Futhark . The presence of runes in the Americas would indicate an ancient Northern European presence. Several noteworthy runestones have been located at various locales in North America. They are covered more extensively under Vikings in America.
Acajutla Statues
In 1914, an archaeologist was excavating some Mayan ruins in the
city of Acajutla, El Salvador [Not Mexico as some accounts indicate]
and discovered two statuettes [shawabti-figurines] that
were probably Egyptian. A man and woman wearing ancient Egyptian
dress and cartouches, possibly depicting Osiis and Isis.

Miscellaneous
In 1933, in a burial at Calixtlahuaca, Mexico, archaeologist José García Payón discovered a small carved head with "foreign" features in an undisturbed burial site. It was later identified by anthropologist Robert Heine-Geldern as "unquestionably" from the Hellenistic-Roman school of art and suggested a date of "around AD 200."
A doll made of wood and wax was found deep in a "Well of Sacrifice" at
Chichén Itzá, Mexico, on which is written Roman script.
