You Should Have Been With Us Today!

Looking at Evidences of The Book of Mormon.

After breakfast this morning Suzanne and I joined Rod Meldrum and our tour group and got on board our motor coach and wound our way south first stopping at Flint Bridge where saw where the Native Americans got their flint to make their arrow heads, and other sharp edged tools.

We then went to the the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Coshocton, Ohio.   This museum houses the famous “Holy Stones”, found in a Hopewell mound near Newark, Ohio.  These stones, inscribed with ancient Hebrew writings, demonstrate a North American connection to the Old World.  READ MORE!

.

This carved stone was found ing the stone box (behind left and right) and has Ancient Hebrew writings on it. It says Moses, and has the Ten Commandments inscribed!  Remember, it was found in the Ohio.

This is an important ‘keystone’ that was also found.

As we continued back on the bus towards Newark, we discovered that this area was filled with the most extensive and monumental earthworks in the world, including the Great Circle and Great Octagon, built by the Hopewell Civilization.

Suzanne drove me on a golf cart as this area is several football fields in area!

They date it between 150 AD and 250 AD, during the peaceful time following Jesus Christ’s visit to America after His crucifixion.  Scientists have recently discovered embedded astronomical alignments proving this was a highly advanced civilization.  I watched Suzanne and others ascend the 30 foot embankments and walk the ‘place of entrance’ of the Great Circle as I rode my motor cart following right behind, due to my having M.S..  But, I stayed up with them.  I learned a lot about our early history of this country as we discussed the ancient Hopewell Mound Builder civilization that inhabited this area during Book of Mormon times.

This is a survey back in 1860 of the Newark Earthworks.

We took pictures, had great conversations with Rod Meldrum about these ancient earthworks, and went to dinner only to keep talking about what we had seen with our own eyes.  
There is a golf course adjacent to these earthworks and I asked a young man if I could hire him to drive me over to some of the mounds that surrounded the area.  I asked him what he thought about these earthworks and he said, ” I don’t know much about it.  I just know that in the spring, the Native Americans come here and do something.  We just let them do it.”  I told him that they celebrate the day of passover that the Jewish people recognize but in remembrance of the day when Creator appeared to them. I then asked him a question which I ask all of you who are reading this:

Did the Book of Mormon take place in America’s “Heartland?”  From the Garden of Eden to Adam-ondi-Ahman; from the restoration of the gospel to the building of the New Jerusalem – the Heartland of North America has been the setting for sacred and significant events throughout human history.

New research involving Book of Mormon prophecies, Joseph Smith’s historical writings, DNA, archaeology, anthropology, metallurgy, horticulture, climate indicators, voyage routes, geography, astronomy, and symbology point to the very real possibility that the people and places of the Book of Mormon occurred in the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys.

Secular evidence continues to mount that the Book of Mormon may have occurred in the Heartland of North America.   This new research Is offering unprecedented answers to critics of the Book of Mormon and its coming forth from non-LDS sources.  Learn more about why this research is so compelling.

Below are links to recent news and articles exploring what is now being called “The Heartland Model Geography” for the Book of Mormon. You can also access their latest newsletters by visiting the ARCHIVE.

“And if our plates had been sufficiently large we should have written in Hebrew; but the Hebrew hath been altered by us also; and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record.”  Mormon 9:33
