[Teachldsseminary] CHAT: The Ohio Decalogue

[TERRY L HAYNIE]

Don't know if my original message got through-Pres. Hinckley died tonight at approx 7:00 pm. Please check the Church's official website for more info. This will be a great experience for our students to witness succession in the Church.

  No clue what the significance or validity of this artifact might be.
  Just thought it interesting.

  The Ohio Decalogue

  It is important to note that Seron was called "Nisir" by the
  Babylonians "Mt. Nisir" being the mountain of the ark landing. In 1948
  the village next to the ark had a name change, from "Nasar" (which in
  Shemitic languages amounts to the same thing) to "Uzengili," meaning
  "it belongs to Uzengil." Uzengil is an Arabic mythic giant, whose
  image the local Kurds saw in the ship.

  An artifact found in 1860, under a great stone tumulus of 45 feet
  height and a 500 foot circumfrence near Jackstown, Ohio is shown here.
  The tumulus was disassembled for its stone, and 10,000 wagon loads
  were carried away to build a dam and canals. The artifact is usually
  called the "Ohio Decalogue," and is presently located in the
  Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, Roscoe village, Coshocton, Ohio, near
  Newark. It has inscribed all around its many facets, a Hebrew version
  of the 10 commandments, created at a time when this style called
  "Monumental Hebrew" was in use on graves and ossuaries in ancient
  Israel ( about 2000 years ago ). The " Monumental Hebrew" script
  differs only slightly from that which was written by hand with pens
  and brushes on scrolls at the time. It was simplified for engraving
  purposes. Exactly why this ancient artifact was found in the Americas,
  will be left for another discussion, however obviously, someone from
  the near east, had it created and brought it along with him to ancient
  America by ship, to be used, daily, in prayer, as a phalactery. When
  he died, it was buried with him under the "Great Stone Stack."

  What is of most interest here, is that this so-called "Ohio Decalogue"
  closely resembles the remains of Noah's ark in Turkey. Flavius
  Josephus, Jewish historian, who lived at that time this grave alphabet
  was largely used ( 1st-century AD ), claimed, as previously noted,
  that many people still made the trip to "Noah's ark and removed bits
  of bitumen from the ark to be worn as amulets to ward off evil
  spirits." So then, the location of the ruins of the Ark of Noah were
  well-known at the time this strange artifact was created ( based on
  the date of the alphabet ), and later carried to America. This
  artifact is a small reproduction of Noah's grat ship with the
  naturally-erosion-created image of a giant man lying recumbent in the
  ark itself. This Picture of Ark Impression giant human figure is same
  one that caused the Uzengili villagers of Nasar ( Nisir ) to rename
  their village in 1948, when the giant human figure appeared - framed
  by the rising hull-mold of the Noah's Ark, to "üzengili," meaning: (
  it belongs to "üzengil" the Arabic mythical giant"). This great human
  shape is perhaps the reason that the later, Jewish rabbinical
  traditions formulated the idea that a pre-flood giant "Og" survived
  the flood by clinging to the roof of Noah's Ark. This is merely a
  myth, to be sure, but a myth stimulated by man's imagination and the
  natural, wind & erosion-formed image of a giant man in the ark.

  The great importance of this small hand-held object from the North
  American continent - an object whose authenticity is still doubted by
  typical American evolutionary "scholars" - is that the "Ohio
  Decalogue" is a small model of the real remains of Noah's Ark in
  eastern Anatolia ( Turkey ), and in fact, confirms the Ark of Noah at
  Uzengili on Mashu-r Dag, or Cudi Dagi (called "Durupinar" by many)
  some 17 miles south of Mt. Ararat by its very design. The flip-side of
  this "ancient coin" is that the Ark of Noah ship's -hull-mold in
  Turkey, conversely confirms that ancient near and middle eastern
  people did indeed migrate to ancient America, because of this very
  specific design of this very specific artrifact found in Ohio in 1860.
  This is precisely why we see so many Hebrew artifacts in America, such
  as the Bat Creek Stone ( Smithsonian ), the Hidden Mountain -Los
  Lunas, New Mexico ( Ten commandment stone & Hebrew encampment with
  inscriptions dedicated to Yahweh ), The Grave Creek Stone ( Phoenician
  ), The many Phoenician writings found in Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma
  ( Gloria Farley ). It also helps us contextually understand why the
  Toltecs of Mexico, who had migrated down from Aztlán in the north,
  spoke Hebrew and named their towns with Hebrew meanings: such as: Az
  kaput zela koh = ( azcaputzalco ). It also helps us understand why the
  Cherokees invoked YHW ( Yahweh) and held the Feast of Tabernacles
  harvest celebration in the fall, and why the Hopi worshipped "Ta-
  IOWA" ta- Yahweh, or indeed that IOWA tribe of indians received their
  name from the Hebrew mighty one YAHWEH. It also helps explain why the
  Quiché MAYA of meso-America spoke Phonecian, a Hebrew related tongue (
  See The Nexus,by David Allen Deal, 1993, ISAC Press, Columbus Ga. ) or
  on this web site as a pdf file for individual download.

  It also helps explain why the 4th-century Coptic Christians arrived in
  what is now Michigan ( several large collections of artifacts exist,
  see "The Mystic Symbol" Henriette Mertz soon to be republished by
  Ancient American.com ), and even gives context to the Roman Jewish
  community of Calalus in Arizona ( reported by Cyclone Covey in his
  book "Calalus" ).

  Of course, academics have been set against the idea of ancient
  sea-faring migration to America because such evidence - and such
  evidence exists in abundance - refutes their closely-held theory of
  polar migration over "Beringa" during the "last Ice Age." All of this
  rigid, pre-Victorian theoretical positioning, was precipitated by the
  head of the Smithsonian Institute's Bureau of Ethnology in the later
  half of the 19th-century, Major Powell. He was a despotic ruler, and
  authoritarian whose word was not to be questioned. His legacy is with
  us still, alive in the minds of several generations American
  academics, who have been trained not to be disuaded by any evidence of
  trans-Atlantic, sea-faring migration before Columbus.
