Los Lunas Rock

Deuteronomy 27:3a "'You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which the LORD your God is giving you...'"

Did someone engrave the Ten Commandments, in ancient Hebrew, on a New Mexico rock 2,000 years ago?

In 1871, Indians showed New Mexico rancher Franz Huning a basalt boulder on his land. The boulder had strange writing on it. The Indians told him that the rock, with its writing, had been there long before their tribes ever came to the area. Scholars were brought in to look at the rock. They identified the writing as paleo Hebrew script of the style in use between 500 and 100 B.C. What did the engraving say on what has come to be known as the Los Lunas Rock? It was an engraving of the Ten Commandments. But who could have made it?

There are additional finds that are even more astonishing and seem to make the answer obvious. Above the rock is a flat mountain top. On the mountain top are ancient ruins of stone structures that seem to be designed for defense. Its design has been compared to the ruins of Lachish, in southern Judea. Another Hebrew inscription on the mountaintop names the God of Israel as "our Mighty One." An astronomical petroglyph indicates a partial solar eclipse that is known to have taken place in 107 B.C. This coincides with an archaeologist's dating of the engravings to about 2,000 years ago.

Did travelers from southern Judea settle in what is now New Mexico some 2,000 years ago? Exciting evidence supports that possibility and challenges modern stereotypes about the abilities and accomplishments of the humans of 2,000 years ago.

Prayer:
I pray, dear Lord, that our proud modern age may be increasingly challenged by the evidence showing that the human beings You have created have always been highly intelligent, curious and capable. Amen. Notes:

youtube The Oldest Ten Commandments found, for the Real date of the solar eclipse over NM. 100 bc date was over the west coast.

Historically the mountain was called Cerro Los Moqujino (Cliff of the Strange writings) by the Native Americans stating it pre-existed the arrival of their ancestors into the area in 1350 AD 1776 Dominguez-Escalante expedition (shiping logs) got and sent back a rubbing of it for translation (unsuccessful), but it has not as yet resurfaced in the Old Church's of Spain's archives.

@sergeantrex Lastly there is some evidence for the natives being Christian(other than the los lunas rock), such as baptismal fonts being foun amongst the aztec and mayan cities, also another tremendous discovery was that of the book popol vuh, which I suggest looking up. Lastly, it is written in the Bible that Christ had other followers not in the Jerusalem area(John 10:16)

@sergeantrex ... and it matched the description that was in the Book of Mormon. In the BoM it says they buried a man named Ishmael there because it was a large burial spot, which archeologists uncovered a burial site at this town with the name Nahom actually inscribed in on certain buildings. Also, since it was just discovered within the last couple of decades, that means Joseph Smith, couldn't have known about it.

[FighterOfWhatsRight]

@sergeantrex There's actually a lot of evidence for that. All across the America's are Egyptian designs and mathematics in Native buildings, an example would be the Ohio earth mounds. Also there was a tablet in Ohio with block hebrew and the ten commandments as well, found in a native American tomb back in the 1800's, but was mostly ignored. Then of course there's Nahom which was mentioned in the Book of Mormon in Arabia, and in the 1990's archeologists(non-mormon) found a city with that name...

@KCrenshaw09 not only that, but if they were supposedly from siberia, would they have dark skin? In ancient Middle-east and the middle-east today, many have dark skin. The Iroqois Indians even have dark skin and they're in New york... so if science's explanation for the dark skin was because over time they got tanned skin from being in tropical areas such as mexico, then... why do the iroqois have dark skin? last I ckecked, New Yorkers don't tan very well...

[sergeantrex]

That would be evidence that mormonism is true lol.

@SavannahLynn19 Exactly, and if the bible is taught as a HISTORY book then it is inherently making SCIENTIFIC CLAIMS about the history of our planet—CLAIMS THAT CAN BE TESTED. And if every single test EVER has concluded it's inaccurate, what possible rational reason is left to continue to assert it is anything more than a very old fairy tale? Explain this to me???

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@SavannahLynn19 Uh, are you unaware of what patina is?  You know, the natural crystalization process that happens on engravings like this? Well since people go out there and WASH the stone, there is not any evidence of its age. That is the only way one could date the writing. Again, it doesn't mean it's fake, but it doesn't leave any room to build a case either way. That's the entire point here. It's dishonest to assert that this proves ANYTHING other than a level of gullibility—that's it.
