A Boulder in New Mexico, Covered in Hebrew and Dated from at Least the 1800's, Baffles Researchers

Teresa Neumann : Mar 23, 2010  Bob Unruh - World Net Daily

The 80-ton section of mountain is engraved with an abbreviated version of the Ten Commandments. Next to it, someone also planted a Tamarisk tree.

(New Mexico)—World Net Daily reports that an 80-ton piece of mountain in the middle of New Mexico's wilderness—near Los Lunas—engraved with an abbreviated version of the Ten Commandments in Hebrew (with a few Greek letters mixed in), has been a mystery for years, but now an expert in the Ten Commandments who works with The Foundation for Moral Law founded by former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has investigated.

Locals reportedly knew the mountain as the "Cliff of Strange Writings." Next to the boulder is a Tamarisk tree, native to the Middle East.

The report says the writing, when translated, roughly reads:

Hebrew writing"I [am] Jehovah your God who has taken you out of the house of slaves of land of Egypt. Not there be other gods before My face. You shall not make idol. [You must] not take name Jehovah in vain. Remember day of the Sabbath to keep holy. Honor your father and your mother so that will be long your days upon that ground that Jehovah your God to you has given. You must murder not. Not you commit adultery. You must steal not. [You must] not give testimony against neighbor as witness false. You must desire not [the] wife of your neighbor and all that is your neighbor's."

Frank Hibben, a former New Mexico archaeologist who is now deceased, reportedly first saw the writing in 1933 when he was taken to the site by a guide who had seen it as a boy in the 1880's. "Estimates then were that the carvings were 500 - 2,000 years old," the report notes.

Several theories regarding the Hebrew text abound. Col. John Eidsmoe, the foundation's legal counsel, was quoted as saying that some explanations suggest the inscription is from Israelites of the Ten Lost Tribes of Northern Israel, "or by Jews traveling on sea voyages during Solomon's reign," about 1000 B.C.

"Dr. Barry Fell of Harvard argued for the ancient origin of the inscription, contending that the script is consistent with ancient Hebrew," notes Eidsmoe, adding that another explanation was the possibility of the presence of those with a Biblical faith in southwestern North America in the 1500s or 1600s.
