SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH WHEREVER THE PATH LEADS
"During times of universal deceit telling the truth becomes
a revolutionary act." ?George Orwell?
"He who controls the past controls the future.
He who controls the present controls the past."
George Orwell- "Ninteen Eighty-Four"
“On this occasion Mr(Hyde)Clarke said that'subject
was so vast, it was impossible to deal thoroughly with
it, but he might mention, that only recently some monuments
in the Indo-Chinese Peninsula in Cambodia and Pegu had been
found by himself to greatly resemble in form those of
Mexico and South America, and at the same time, strong
affinities were discovered between the languages.' He
had just discovered, also, that there was affinity between
the Akkad form of the earliest cuneiform inscriptions
(which remained even now almost without interpretation)
and the Aymara, in Peru, thus establishing one historic
chain from Babylon to the New World. "Fusang, or The
Discovery of America by Chinese Buddhist Priests in
the 5th Century", Charles G. Leland, 1875
... “(our forefathers came from the west), declare the ancient Choctaws
through their traditions...from the northwest beyond the big water.
'Tis but the traditions of the ignorant Indian-a foolish fable', responded
the pale-face, of boasted historical attainment”... H.B Cushman “History
of Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Natchez, 1899
"How the Indians really did originate does not matter; what matters
is how people think they originated." Dr. John H. Powell (J.H Powell)
"The Origins of the American Indian. 1946"
..."it is believed that the present work shows illustrations
nearly identical with many much-discussed carvings and paintings
on the rock of the eastern hemisphere, those in Siberia being most
strongly suggestive of connection...though there is some trace of
Runic inscriptions...Topers of the mysterious delight in such dazing
infusions of perverted fancy, but they are repulsive to the sober student.
...the petroglyphs do not and probably never will disclose the
kind of information hoped for by some enthusiasts...Also though the
occurances interesting to their authors...are not important as facts of
history...mere graffiti." Garrick Mallery "Picture Writing of the American
Indian" (Bureau of Ethnology Washington Printing Office 1894)
"...Implicit was the racist belief that the Native Americans had neither
the, intellectual capacity, nor the technological know-how to erect
monumental structures. This in turn was a justification for the continued
repressive policies toward the Indians. It was much easier to advocate a
policy of genocide if the Indians could be viewed as savages incapable of
significant cultural achievement... Powell, the famous American explorer
who had been the first man to descend the rapids of the Grand Canyon,
believed that the 'lost race' theory was bankrupt. He was firmly convinced
that the fore-bears of the North American Indians had indeed constructed
the monuments.... In one of his annual reports for the Bureau, Powell
wrote... [there] is no reason for us to search for an extralimital origin
through lost tribes for the arts discovered in the mounds of North
America." Thomas S. Garlinghouse, "Revisiting the Mound-Builder Controversy"
“In the monuments of antiquity found throughout North America...the
development of art in savage and barbaric life may be
satisfactorily studied... the discoveries made have often been
illegitimately used, especially for the purpose of connecting the tribes
of North America with peoples or so-called races of antiquity in other
portions of the world...A brief review of some conclusions that must be
accepted in the present status of the science will exhibit the futility
of these attempts...The migrations of mankind from that original home cannot be
intelligently discussed until that home has been discovered...
…there has been much unnecessary speculation in respect to the relation
existing between the people to whose existence they attest, and the tribes
of Indians inhabiting the country during the historic period.
...There is, therefore, no reason for us to search for an extra-limital
origin through lost tribes for the arts discovered in the mounds of North
America.(pictographs)...to a large extent these were simply mnemonic--not
conveying ideas of themselves, but designed more thoroughly to retain in
memory certain events or thoughts by persons who were already cognizant
of the same through current hearsay or tradition...
Hence it will be seen that it is illegitimate to use any pictographic
matter of a date anterior to the discovery of the continent by Columbus
for historic purposes...it is simply necessary to assert that this has led
to great confusion of nomenclature. Therefore the student of Indian
history must be constantly on his guard in accepting the statements of any
author relating to any tribe of Indians.” J.W Powell 1834-1902, Director
Bureau of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution “On Limitations to the Use
of Some Anthropologic Data”
"I presume, enough hath been said to point out the similarity between the
rites and customs of the native American Indians, and those of the
Israelites. -And that the Indian system is derived from the moral,
ceremonial, and judicial laws of the Hebrews...Their religious rites,
marital customs, dress, music, dances, and domestic forms of life...that
they came to America in early times"... James Adair 1775,

Explorations in Grand Canyon, Phoenix Gazette April 5, 1909
"According to the story related to the Gazette by Mr. Kincaid, the
archaeologists of the Smithsonian Institute...have made discoveries which
almost conclusively prove that the race...possibly from Egypt...transla-
tion of tablets engraved with hieroglyphics...Egypt and the Nile, and
Arizona...will be linked by a historical chain...A thorough
examination under the direction of Prof. S.A. Jordan, the Smithsonian
Institute is now prosecuting the most thorough explorations...Nearly a
mile underground about 1480 feet below the surface...mammoth chambers...
Several hundred rooms have been discovered...crypt...mummies...the
people's god, sitting cross-legged with a lotus flower or lily in each
hand...resembles Buddha...One theory is that the present Indian tribes in
Arizona are descendents...The legend was learned by W.E Rollins...There
are two theories of the origin of the Egyptians. One they came from Asia;
another...the upper Nile region. Heeren, an Egyptologist, believed in the
Indian origins of the Egyptians. The discoveries in the Grand Canyon may
throw further light on human evolution and prehistoric ages."
“You've probably heard of those crackpot theories about ancient
Phoenicians or Chinese in the New World. Maybe it's time to start paying
attention...Arrayed against the diffusionists stand the so-called
independent inventionists-mainstream scholars who regard Western
Hemisphere aboriginals as having been essentially free of cross-cultural
contamination until 1492...“There is a reason, according to academics who
uphold anthropological orthodoxy at universities and research institutes,
why the diffusionists have elicited nothing but enmity or disregard for
their views: they are crackpots and lunatics...“How fitting, then,that
the diffusionists curious lettered stones and tablets would break the
silence, inciting noisy protest from the curators of America's past even as
conversation with visitors from afar.” Marc K. Stengel, Atlantic Monthly

EARLY AMERICAN BILLBOARDS
Nearly everyone is fascinated by the carvings and paintings of animals and
symbols left on rocks by early Americans. Much time has been spent to
understand what they mean, but it is generally accepted by the academic
community that we really don't know, except for those recent enough that
Native Americans can interpret.
When we see modern graffiti, we condemn the vandalism and want the
perpetrator to be fined and repair the damage. I was shocked a few years
ago when I saw approximately 900 square feet of such desecration gouged
into the sandstone face of a Missouri River bluff. I had heard about
carvings of animals at this location, and wanted to see and photograph
them in an effort to better understand this medium of communication.
On my third trip there I felt I had found most of the animals and symbols
that were readable and I began searching among the carvings of Bill,
Fred, and Alice to see what they so carelessly had concealed. It soon
became apparent that most of the letters were clear, but unintelligible.
The letters repeated and were obviously not the ones we used. So began
the puzzle that has occupied most of myfree time during the past years
My research has shown me that there are many people who understand this
unintelligible graffiti is the alphabet of early Americans who left their
messages in much the same way we use billboards. My disgust has turned to
admiration of prehistoric scribes who have left us a valuable record of
their civilization. We are beginning to better understand their religion,
commerce, laws, and aspirations. Although much information has been
already documented, Missouri has an extensive collection of these records
that have not been recorded or evaluated. It is my hope that people will
assist in the location of these prehistoric billboards, the same way they
have recorded the location of caves. It is around caves that the vast
majority of these inscriptions have been found.
I know that much controversy surrounds this subject, and it will not
the purpose of this forum to enter into that quagmire. I want to record as
many of these inscriptions as possible before development and the elements
erase them. This resource will be made available to future historians who
want to accept the challenge of evaluating what this evidence means for
American history.
What can you do? When you are climbing through the rocks and valleys
of the Midwest and notice letters carved into the rocks, take a moment and
see if you understand what has been written. If you CAN'T, please copy a
sample, exactly as you see it, and contact me. I will add this material
to the 4000 sq. ft. of inscriptions I have already found. You can share
with others the thrill of discovering a part of history (an accepted myth)
that has been missed.
I will eventually fill this webpage with samples of the inscriptions I
have found so you can better understand what is out there. Feel free to
contact me if you have questions.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEMS VIEWING FILES

October 29,1998 Site 7 has been added today in an effort to show you both
the original photograph and the inscription that was found. This discovery
was made accidentally. I was on a family outing on the Mississippi River
in Minnesota. While boating I spotted petroglyphs near a small cave and
later went to the location on foot. This cave is in a residential area
and visited often by locals. These inscriptions are everywhere, you may
find one when you least expect it.
November 3,1999 I have recently received information about a cave in the
midwest that is full of inscriptions. You might find this interesting.
