Newark Stones

June of 1860 - The Water Flow Detector (keystone) was found in about a mile from Newark in a pit at the edge of the nearby "great stone works." -
November 1, 1860 - The hand-tefillah (magic/phylactery) decalouge, still nested in its case, and the Mikveh (water bowl) were found in close proximity to each other in one of many Indian burial mounds on. Two unusual "eight-square plumb bobs" were also found with the Decalogue stone.

The Decalouge stone, the keystone/flow detector & the stone bowl, appear to form a Mikveh set was meant for use by a Hasidic/Mosaic Jews while traveling.

Bat Creek Inscription

The letters on the lid and base of the Johnson-Bradner stone are in the same peculiar alphabet as the Decalogue inscription, and appear to wrap around in the same manner as on the Decalogue's back platform. However, Dr. James Trimm, whose Ph.D. is in Semitic Languages, reported that the base and lid contain fragments of the Decalogue text.

The independent discovery, in a related context, by reputable citizens, of a third stone bearing the same unique characters as the Decalogue stone, seems to confirm the authenticity of the Decalogue Stone, as well as Wyrick's reliability.

Two unusual "eight-square plumb bobs" were also found with the Decalogue. Their location is unknown

The Hough Stone

Grave Creek Stone

Five years after the discovery of this remarkable memento of the ancient Israelites on the American continent, and thirty-five years after the Book of Mormon was in print, several other mounds in the same vicinity of Newark were opened, in several of which Hebrew characters were found. Among them was this beautiful expression, buried with one of their ancient dead, “May the Lord have mercy on me a Nephite.” It was translated a little different—“Nephel.”

Ohio's East Fork or "Hanukkiah" Earthworks

This map was drawn in 1823 by Maj. Isaac Roberdeau, head of the Bureau of Topographical Engineers, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The ancient earthworks depicted above once lay along waters of the East Fork of the Little Miami River in Ohio, about 20 miles above its mouth near Milford, and about 25-30 miles east of Cincinnati.

The complete original map, is preserved in the Cartographic and Architectural Branch of the Military Archives Division of the U.S. National Archives in Alexandria, Va., Record Group 77 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fortifications File), drawer 144, sheet no. 20.

Samson “called that place Ramath-lehi “see Judges 15:17 “And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi.” => see Izapa Stela 5

Lehi = "Jaw"

Beit comes from the Arabic word meaning house or dwelling. Lehi means jawbone.

Beit Lehi means the ‘house’ or ‘dwelling’ of the jawbone. “

In 1961 Israeli soldiers unearthed a cave that had inscriptions and drawings including the oldest known Hebrew writing of the word ‘Jerusalem’ dated to approximately 600 B.C. by Dr. Frank Cross Moore, Jr. of Harvard University.

The drawings depicted men who appeared to be fleeing and two ships. While investigating the cave, Dr. Joseph Ginat of The University of Haifa met a Bedouin who told him about the remains of an ancient oak tree about 1/4 of a mile away where, according to Bedouin tradition, a prophet named Lehi blessed and judged the people of both Ishmael and Judah.

The Bedouin told Dr. Ginat that Lehi had lived many years before Muhammad and that Arab people had built a wall of large rocks around the remains of the tree to protect it as a sacred spot, long known by Arab inhabitants as ‘Beit Lehi’, meaning ‘Home of Lehi.’
