is the mayan stone still around.. the real and original one.. or no? there r just copies, i was just curious..

also, anyone here about the 7k stones they found in michigan like 100 years ago or so i forgot when a longgg time ago sometime early 19th century.. they look like the comandments.. look it up... its interesting..

Do you mean the sun stone used as a calendar?



According to a quick search it was transferred in 1885 to the national Museum of Archaeology and History by order of the then President of the Republic, General Porfirio Diaz

so the ORGINIAL myan stone with the caldenar, is in a museum somewhere??? or you think it is destroyed, let me no im somewhat curious.

I'd like to read more about that, but how does one look it up? A search for Michigan Stones reveals a deluge of information.

I always wondered where the sun stone had been put. It's not at the British museum in London. Which has the Rossetta stone. But where is the national Museum of Archaeology and History?

I'm not familiar with this story, but it sounds a lot like the tale of the Book of Mormon. According to the story, there was a third testament to the bible, one dealing with the lost tribe of Israel and how they came to inhabit the Americas. This testament was written on golden tablets and revealed to Joseph Smith, founder of the church. However, if I remember my history correctly, these tablets were unearthed in Missouri, not Michigan. (Again, this could be a completely different tale than the one you were referring to.)

The idea that ancient peoples crossed the Atlantic can't be fully refuted, however, DNA evidence suggests that if it did happen it happened many thousands of years earlier than was claimed in the Book of Mormon. The people of South America do not appear to be direct descendants of any lost tribe of Israel, so in all likelyhood the tablets Joseph Smith found were forgeries. (Actually, only Joseph ever saw the tablets, so it's entirely possible they didn't even exist.) Of course, in any issue where God is involved, there's always at least a remote possibility that He has disguised or destroyed the evidence for some reason. However, I feel confident in saying that possibility is extremely remote. Short of divine intervention, I don't see this as being possible.

There is also the case of Dr. Johann Beringer, who collected a number of stones in 1725 in Germany which appeared to show fossils of animals, plants, even astronomical objects and Hebrew letters. These stones are known to have been hoaxed by a rival of his who disliked his overbearing attitude. Dr. Beringer actually published a book on the stones before learning the truth, and later a lawsuit was filed over the incident. He was successful in the suit but failed to save his reputation, and is today almost entirely remembered for the hoax.
