The once-enlightened that lived on this continent were from the Jewish homeland.  If this premise is correct (as the Book of Mormon teaches), then you will find an interesting assortment of things that point to that culture, such as a healthy interest in lunar cycles, ritual sacrifice, baptism, etc.

Even after those people were wiped out in a religio-genocidal act by some of their own former brethren who had the raging of Satan in their hearts, there would still be shreds of that former culture in the replacement culture who wiped out the former groups.  To a degree, we have the same today.  We (as the USA), have wiped out a culture mostly using crude bio-warfare weapons (smallpox-infected blankets), direct warfare and the destruction of their means to obtain food and their economies (killing buffalo, confining the group to reserves, etc).  I tell you that the same three tactics will be used against the gentiles here in America who have not repented.  The variants will be slightly different (bio-engineered weapons, direct warfare against the remnants and the putting of the people in concentration camps).  I came to this conclusion after we spent time camping with the people of the Blackfeet Tribe just outside of Glacier National Park.  In doing so, we spent many evenings around the campfire and one of the tribal elders shared his views with us.  Apparently, with a little wordsmithing of the treaty, the whole Glacier NP was stolen from that group.  They had the land up to the Continental Divide in the original treaty, but as usual, gold was found and there was a brief rush.  That land is very sacred to the Blackfeet – to the point that during fasting and solitude in those valleys, if they encounter another native, they communicate with hand signals or with whispers, so as to not offend the spirits that are in their sacred mountains…….  Hmmmm……  Sounds like what it may have been like up on Ensign Peak in SLC in the years before the Endowment House was built on Temple Square.

Right after we left GNP, we headed as far south as we could towards the Black Hills (another sacred Native land), but I simply powered out on SE Montana and pulled over at the very exit that happened to be the one for the Battle of the Little Bighorn (Custer’s last stand) and as soon as we had breakfast, enjoyed that amazing place for most of the morning.  Custer was a CWI hero and just plain loved the “thrill of battle” and killing indians…..  Well, sometimes if you live by the sword, well – you know…..  He found out the hard way.  The one big takeaway from that was that the spiritual leader of the tribes that were camped there in the valley had been given a vision whereby he saw them successfully fighting off the white man – and that they would have further success – but they MUST leave the bodies of the US soldiers alone and NOT desecrate them after they had vanquished their foes.  Well, the rest of the story is that the young braves stripped, skinned and scalped all but Custer after it was over.  When they went to bury their own, it was a brutal scene as the heat and brutality against the corpses was nauseating.  That is why I got my degree – to avoid shovel duty……

Back on track…..  Later, as we traveled back from the east coast, we again had to pull over and crash and did so in Newark, Ohio, the site of one of the more intact mounds.  It is a religious observatory that documents the lunar cycles on their 18.6 year maxiums.  If this is a central tenet of your worship, then the use of this observatory would be key in keeping things on track.  There are other mounds (thousands, actually) in the Midwest that show a love for and detail the culture of the day, including one which is clearly a mammoth (but the anti’s declared there were no mammoths in the Book of Mormon, did they not??).

Here is one that was thankfully documented in the 1840’s by a surveyor who took an interest in the amazing things just sitting around from the past Hopewell culture:

 

This clearly shows a menorah and Jewish lamp.  But, nah, there is NO connection there….. (sarcasm).

I am somewhat glad that I was woken up by Rod Meldrum’s book on the Heartland Model.

I will post more of what we saw on our tour of the midwest.
